92941 after tPA
Date: Jul 11, 2018
Question:
If a patient presents to a small, rural facility with an NSTEMI/STEMI, and then the patient is given tPA or other thrombolytic therapy and then emergently transferred to a larger facility for an emergent coronary angiography/interventional procedure, can the larger facility still charge code 92941? Also, would there be a time limit from the diagnosis of NSTEMI/STEMI at the rural facility to transfer/treatment at the larger facility?
