92941 and 92928 in the same vessel.

Date: Aug 25, 2021

Question:

Patient presents with STEMI involving both left anterior descending and left circumflex coronary arteries. Provider places drug-eluting stent in proximal LAD, mid LAD, second diagonal, and 3rd marginal branches. Based on being allowed to bill 92941 once during the procedure, would appropriate coding be 92941-LD, 92928-LD-51, 92929-LD (as hb charge), and 92928-LC-51? Or would the second stent in the LAD be considered part of the 92941 and should we only bill 92928-LD as a facility charge in the diagonal branch?
