Charging Diagnostic procedure when doing an Angioplasty?

Date: Oct 6, 2021

Question:

Are we still able to charge for the diagnostic procedure, in the event that we find disease that we need to fix? So can we charge 93458 and C9600 when we do them in the same day, or does C9600 include the diagnostic procedure in the code with the angioplasty?
