Compliance Question of the Week – Cardiology

In the event that more than one site in the same vessel is treated with percutaneous

Does the access into the body (e.g., radial versus femoral artery) change the code assignment for diagnostic cardiac catheterization?

While looking at my 2019 CPT manual I noticed code 93024, which is reported for an ergonovine provocation test. I am not familiar with this procedure. What is it used for?

Does Medicare cover cardiac positron emission tomography (PET) scans for sarcoidosis (inflammation of the heart)?

We have a new facility that performs a two-day thallium viability scan. It is assigning codes 78451 and 78452 for this exam. Is this correct?

Does Medicare pay for adenosine (J0153)?

When is it appropriate to use modifier 59?

Would non-selective codes be inclusive if a non selective angiography is performed during a cardia catheterization from the same access?
