The new ivus code is being denied for primary code, like the old ivus code it's difficult to find those primary codes because they are set by the carrier. Anyone else having a problem getting them paid?
My practice is having trouble getting paid with this as well. We are having trouble as to what to use as a primary since it cannot be paired with a CATH

If you are using Cath code as primary your IVUS code should be 92978. The new IVUS codes are more for peripheral coding. I get ever one paid..add IVUS 92979. Hope this is helpful.
