iFR vs. Unlisted

Date: Sep 8, 2020

Question:

Patient has a heart cath one day and then patient is brought back on a different date of service, but during the same hospital stay, to have iFR of the LM to further assess severity of LM stenosis. Can iFR be charged because it is during the same hospital stay, but different date of service? Or do we still use the unlisted code?
