Here's what I have:

Left heart catheterization, bilateral angiography, and left ventriculogram showed 80% CAD of her LAD and 95%CAD of her RCA. Overlapping drug eluding stents were placed within the RCA and a drug eluding stent was placed in her LAD.

Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks!
 
92928-RC, 92928-LD, 93458-2659. DX = 414.01

Although two stents were placed in the RC, you may bill only one intervention per major coronary artery. Per the NCCI, the coronary artery modifiers [RC, LD, LC, LM, and RI] may be used to bypass NCCI edits. However, some commercial insurers may require modifier 59 be appended to the 92928-LD to obtain reimbursement.
