How is the following scenario coded? A patient undergoes angioplasty and bare-metal stenting of a distal LC lesion through a vein graft followed by the placement of a separate drug-eluting stent in the proximal native vessel via a separate access.
Instead of the diagnostic cardiac cath procedure described in question 8 and the subsequent TPM insertion, what if instead only a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed?
If a TPM is inserted/implanted at the same clinical session, can the TPM (i.e., CPT 33210) be coded for and modified in addition to the PCI code?
Where do we find the revenue code to put on our hospital claim for a Swan Ganz catheter used when a right heart catheterization is performed?
Can you please tell me if we can bill 93356 myocardial strain imaging on the facility side?
How do we bill for an echocardiogram when we use your product Lumason? We are not a hospital and everything I can find says Q9950 can only be billed with the C codes for the hospital.
I’m wondering what the provider documentation requirements are when reporting 93356. What do they specifically have to document in their interpretation to substantiate the myocardial strain imaging charge?
How is the following scenario coded? A patient has an SVG anastomosed to the LC obtuse marginal (OM). Next, this graft “jumps” to the RC posterolateral branch. Through the vein graft, the OM lesion is treated with angioplasty and bare-metal stenting, and a second lesion in the posterolateral branch of the RC is treated with angioplasty and bare-metal stenting.
Procedures involving lower extremities are often highlighted as a problem area for many CPT coders and healthcare compliance and regulatory professionals. Applying them correctly can
What should we look for in terms of documentation regarding 75630?
Is the coding of a diagnostic cardiac catheterization different based on the access into the body, for example: radial versus femoral artery?
Do you have any tips in regards to repositioning and code 33993?
Do you have any coding guidelines for 92941?
