Can we separately report selective vascular catheterization codes when performed with an EP study?
Can we separately report selective vascular catheterization codes when performed with an EP study?
Can we map the coronary sinus by contrast injection with either codes 33225 or 33224?
Do you have any tips for coding 33225 if a dual-chamber pacemaker required an upgrade to a biventricular pacemaker and new right ventricular leads are not implanted?
Can we report 33222 with complex repair codes from the Integumentary System?
If our doctor interprets an echocardiogram performed at the hospital, do we add modifier 26 to the echo code?
We perform cardiac PET scanning at our facility. After cardiologists read the initial exam, the CT images are stripped and sent to a radiologist to read and he generates an additional report. We do not have a charge for the CT radiologist’s component. Is there a CPT® that would allow that?
An interventional cardiologist places three drug-eluting stents, one in the left circumflex and another in the obtuse marginal branch. A third DES stent is deployed within the left anterior descending coronary artery. Do you have any recommendations for reporting?
An interventional cardiologist performs a percutaneous left heart catheterization, then selective injections of the left ventricle and coronary arteries for diagnostic purposes followed by mechanical thrombectomy of the LAD artery with subsequent drug-eluting stent placement in the LAD. Do you have tips for this?
Can we report an unattended sleep study along with a code for cardiac monitoring?
Can we report 93454 if a physician performs road-mapping injections for guidance during a coronary intervention?
Can we report 93461 with 0408T?
Can I report 33274 with 93453?
