I am unsure of the modifiers I am supposed to be using.
I am just going to give and example of a heart cath and renal selective procedure done, I am new to cardio coding so very interesting!!
Lets say the doctor did:
R&L heart cath
Inj proc LVG
Inj Proc AOG
Inj Proc COR
S&I LVG
S&I COR
Coronary Stent in Left decending
IVUS coronary single
DIAG Cath Placement Renal
Renal selective:bilateral
Would the coding be this?
93526-26
93543
93544
93545
93555-26-59
93556-26-59 would I use the modifier 59 because there was a stent placement? If there was not a stent placement I would not use the modifier 59 is that correct?
92980-LD
92978 not sure if this needs a modifier or not?
36245-59 not sure on this I believe I need a modifier 59 because it was done with the heart cath and stent placement but not sure!!
75724-26-59 would I use the 59 on this?
One more example:
On this one there was not a heart cath at all just stent placement
INJ Proc Cor
S&I cor
Coronary stent to right coronary
cath placement renal
renal selective unilateral
So my codes for this is:
93545
93556-26-59
92980-RC
36245 would I use the modifier 59 since there was stent placement?
75722-26
I look at this so much I make myself confussed. Thank you for helping in my time of losing my mind in the world of Cardio
