C codes in an Inpatient setting
Date: Mar 19, 2021
Question:
In an inpatient setting can codes C9600-C9607 be used for reimbursement for drug-eluting stents? I realize the claim is billed with ICD-10-PCS codes and CPT codes do not go on the claim; however, for revenue purposes the facility wanted to know if C-codes are allowed to be charged.
