C9608 CTO Additional

Date: Jun 18, 2013

Question:

CPT codes C9608 (CTO) and 92944 read "each additional coronary artery or coronary artery branch". The other add-on codes for PTCA, stent ect read just "each additional branch". So, if two CTO primary vessels are intervened upon, do we report code C9607 twice?  Or codes C9607 and C9608?
