Intervention in LAD and in a branch of LC

Date: Aug 28, 2020

Question:

Lesions in both LAD and the 3rd obtuse marginal branch of the circumflex are treated with drug-eluting stents in the same encounter. What are the appropriate CPT codes to report in this case? Should we report 92928- LD and 92928-LC (C9600-LD and C9600-LC for Medicare) or 92928-LD with 92929-LC?
