Hello,
If a patient had a diagnostic coronary angiogram 93456 and the very next day had an IABP placed 33967 and the provider is billing for another cardiac cath 93454 this time (this is all in preparation of a CABG to be done).
I feel the second day we can't bill 93454 as the cardiac cath is not diagnostic, statement of left coronary circulation no changes post IABP (but did have full findings documented of all left coronary arteries).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
