Coronary IVL C1761 with C9602

Date: Aug 16, 2021

Question:

Do you have any information regarding reporting C1761 during coronary interventions for hospitals? Our physician performed an orbital atherectomy, DES placement, and Shockwave IVL therapy to a 90% stenosis on the RCA. According to the manufacturer, C1761 is paid a pass-through payment when reported with C9600 or 92928. We are wondering if we can report C1761 with C9602 as well.
