Morning,
I am looking for some insight as to why our 93458-26 are getting denied. They are being done in-patient. No other procedure is being done during the procedure. Some of our follow-up staff say that we need to put a 59 on it, but what would it be separate from? There are EKG's being done during the inpatient stay - could that be what the cath's are hitting up against? The EKG's are done by cardiologist while the cath is done by an interventional cardiologist....does that make a difference?
Any help is appreciated - Thanks!
