Aggrastat or Angiomax 92977
Date: Jan 4, 2021
Question:
Does administration of either Aggrastat or Angiomax during heart cath/stenting qualify to report CPT 92977 for physician side or facility side? If not, what would meet the criteria? "A repeat injection demonstrated 0% residual stenosis but there was only TIMI-1 flow with some slow flow noted which I treated with a bolus of Aggrastat, which 5 minutes later demonstrated TIMI-3 flow. Just as a precaution, I elected to give another bolus of Aggrastat."
