Code C9606
Date: Aug 20, 2013
Question:
In an earlier Q&A, you recommend code 92941 for treatment of an MI with angioplasty, atherectomy, OR stent placement... or all of these. If a drug eluting stent is used, code C9606 applies for hospitals. Would code C9606 be the correct code to report if the patient had ONLY a drug eluting stent placed in the LAD?
