Angioplasty of a previously placed coarctation stent 37246 vs 33897
Date: Jun 22, 2022
Question:
Does the provider need to specify "angioplasty of the stent due to re-coarctation" to code 33897 for angioplasty of a previously placed coarctation stent? Would angioplasty of coarctation stent due to a patient growth or small stent size fall under coding as 33987?
