I need a little help.
I have been asked about chronic total occlusion of a coronary artery and the attempt to open the artery. A lot of equipment and time is involved in the attempt to open the artery. I thinking of using the angioplasty charge and adding modifier -52 for reduced services. Also what should the doctor have in his dictation to be able use this coding combination.
Thanks,
