92941 vs. 92943

Date: Sep 28, 2016

Question:

I need help determining the different documentation needs of codes 92941 and 9294.. Providers are clearly documenting the total occlusion when doing the stents, but not that the occlusion is chronic or acute. Sometimes there is an MI within the previous 4 weeks, and sometimes no MI is involved. I want to give appropriate feedback to providers of documentation needs to appropriately code these procedures.
