Wiki PCTA/STENT of LAD

[carelitz]

I am new at cardiac procedures. Can you guys check me please?


Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and stent of the left anterior descending.
92928?

Also, can i bill for sedation as well and discharge the next day?

Thanks!

Can you give any additional information on this i could give a more accurate answer. But it is appropriate to code a diagnostic cath with a stent. If the stent is unrelated to a stemi Dx then 92928 would be appropriate with the directional modifier, if the cath is diagnositc then you would code the cath with a modifier. If the Dx is related to a stemi then you would use 92941 with a directional modifier as your stent code. make sure to read the guidelines of your CPT in that category to be clear you are billing correctly. hope this helps

Sorry, the hospital with the documentation didn’t let me copy and paste.

Yes! That was extremely helpful! Thanks so much. I have to really just start going over my CPT book and getting to know the codes. I know that many are inclusive of the previous code. Thanks again!
