Bundling Edits - Facility - Add-On Edit/IVUS When Reporting New DES Cdoes - C9602

Date: Jun 19, 2013

Question:

I was wondering if you have had anyone ask about a bundling edit we keep running into. We are a hospital facility and are reporting the new DES codes (specifically C9602-LD, 92921-LD, and 92978). We are getting an "add-on" edit and need to report the primary procedure. The new DES "C" codes are not on the list. If we were to report code 95933-LD, we would not get an edit, but we would get a denial on the CPT code. Were there any changes/edits there were missed that were similar to the EPS codes?
