I'm still new to Cardiology, does anyone know the answer to this question...
I have a patient that had a heart cath along with an FFR and the doc documented it as 2 vessels. The LC and the ramus intermedius. The nurse has coded the 93571 and 93572. I understand the additional vessel, but is the ramus intermedius indeed a separate vessel??? If so, what is the modifier for this, RI??
Thank you so much to whoever can help me![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
