Ptca of right coronary, he attempted but failed
catheter placement in coronary artery
could i bill:
92920-rc-53, dx 414.00
93454-26-59, dx 414.00
diagnosis is 414.00 cad. My question is, if he attempted a ptca of rca but was unseuccessful could i bill this with modifier 53. The doctor stated it took him 45 minutes to an hour in attempting code 92920. I am not sure if i can. Also code 93454 bundles to code 92920.
