How should a DES stenting of the native LCx be reported when the graft is navigated to arrive at the lesion? Is this reported with 92928-LC/C9600-LC? Is there any additional code or work that can be awarded in this situation?
A patient presents for percutaneous transfemoral TAVR. Upon completion of TAVR, a dissection is noted in the common femoral access vessel. This is treated with angioplasty and stent. Is it appropriate to code CPT 37221 for the femoral artery angioplasty and stenting in addition to the TAVR, CPT 33361®?
How do you code for an abdominal aortogram/lower extremity angiography during a cardiac catheterization?
If a patient is brought to the cardiac cath lab and only bypass grafts were visualized (for example, SVG [saphenous vein graft] to the right coronary artery [RCA], and SVG to the circumflex) with no native coronary arteries being injected or imaged, what is the appropriate CPT® procedure to code/charge?
What code is used to capture the removal and replacement of a leadless pacemaker?
Coders are facing critical challenges in 2023, with many scenarios at stake that could upend success and ultimately leave reimbursement vulnerable. Among the codes that
How should the use of DFR be coded in the facility setting?
A patient arrives for a redo PVI due to evidence of continuing atrial fibrillation. The EP study performed demonstrates continued PVI block. 3D mapping and programmed stimulation with Isuprel elucidates that the patient is having episodes of mitral annulus atrial flutter that is ablated. How should this situation be coded?
Is catheter placement bundled in the new PA revasc. codes?
How should DES stents with lithotripsy be reported for facility coding since the C-codes are not listed as a primary intervention?
Am I understanding correctly that the Category III 0715T can only be used when a bare metal stent is placed?
How would we code for the following scenario? An interventional cardiologist performs a PTCA in the LAD followed by drug-eluting stent placement in the same vessel, subsequently the physician next performs a PTCA in the RCA.
