0715T when coronary lithotripsy is performed.

Date: Oct 17, 2022

Question:

Can we get clarification on when/when not to use 0715T when a coronary lithotripsy is performed? The CPT Codebook states the following: "Use 0715T in conjunction with 92920, 92924, 92928, 92933, 92937, 92941, 92943, 92975."  It looks like it can be used for angioplasty, atherectomy, or stent placement. Can we also use it with drug-eluting stent placement?
