Should the date of service (DOS) of the FFR derived from a CTA be the same as the DOS of the coronary CTA?
If the hospital receives outside images (consult) of the CTA and derives the FFR from that CTA, can the hospital bill for the FFR service?
If a tracing is performed when the physician does not own the equipment or employ the personnel while providing just the interpretation, what code is assigned for the professional service?
What diagnosis code(s) should we use for an echocardiogram performed with contrast?
Can we bill for an angiogram and catheter placement for a failed access site done during a Left Heart Catheterization (LHC)? For example, the right radial artery (RRA) access was obtained but we could not navigate the wire to the right subclavian. Right brachial artery angiography was performed through the diagnostic catheter. There was moderate tortuosity and the vessel size was small, and a decision was made to pursue a right femoral artery access. Could we bill 36140-59 and 75710-59 with LHC 93458?
When an EKG is ordered and read during the office visit, does that count as two points for the new Evaluation and Management (E/M) coding?
Can code 93565 be reported for diagnostic selective left atrial with Category III codes?
Please explain the difference between single study myocardial perfusion SPECT (78451) and multiple studies SPECT (78452).
If a coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is done, then a drug-eluting stent (DES) is attempted, but unable to cross lesion do you code this as C9600-74?
Do you have any advice on code 92941/C9606?
Do you have any tips for new code 33741?
