RFR and FFR During Cardiac Cath

Date: Aug 9, 2019

Question:

"Proximal RCA RFR was 0.94, and FFR was 0.93 with IV adenosine, which are both non-significant." Since the RFR is approved in 2019, and I am not finding coding rules on this topic, would this be reported as 93571-RC (for FFR) and 93571-52-RC-XU (for RFR)? Or should I report 93571-RC (FFR) and 93572-52-RC? Or only 93571-RC (FFR) assuming that the RFR would be bundled into the FFR?
