Ramus Artery

Date: May 30, 2014

Question:

Does the ramus artery have any additional branches to it in which you could bill out for if there were multiple interventions to them? I have a cardiologist who wants to bill an angioplasty and stent of the ramus intermedius, stating it has two branches in which he intervened upon with two different drug-eluting stents. He would like to bill codes 92928 and 92929. I was unaware that the ramus intermedius had any branches. Please advise.
