Question:
What are the circumstances that will meet the requirements for assigning 93458?
Answer:
Assign this code (93458) for selective coronary angiography including left ventriculography, when performed. If pressure measurements are recorded and documented (i.e., LVEDP), then the requirements for assigning code 93458 have been met, even without a left ventricle injection.
