92941

Date: Jan 28, 2013

Question:

Dr Z. Per documentation pt presents with a non-stemi acute MI. SCA shows total occlusion of the proximal RC. PTCA done. Procedure ended. We are questioning how to bill this as 92941 states ANY combination of stent, atherectomy and angioplasty. Does this mean that more that one intervention must be done on the lesion in order to bill with 92941? Would 92920 be the correct code to use? Thanks for your assistance. JD
