Will he be considered an assistant or Do i bill his codes with a modifier?
Thank you in advance
Procedure performed:
One- vessel PCI Drug -eluting stent – no atherectomy to diagonal artery
Second drug eluting stent was positioned proximal to the first stent in an overlapping fashion.
Subsequent femoral angiograms showed arteriotomy site below the bifurcation point.
Procedure Performed:
1. RT and LT heart Catherization
2. Aortic valve study
3. Left ventriculogram
4. Coronary angiography
5. Distal abdominal aortography
6. Selective renal angiography with balloon angioplasty and stent placement with a 5.0x18mm heculink placed in the left renal artery proximal.
8. Sheath suture in place. Plan for manual pressure, hold 2 hr post procedure
9. Supervision and interpretation of above.
example: my physicians will perform Heart Cath with a Vascular procedure, i.e stent placement in pulmonary artery and want to bill the 76937 but the documentation doesn’t refer to the stent placement even though it has all the required elements, it refers to another vessel, like accessing a femoral vessel because it’s know that the pt has small femoral vessels for hemodynamics, once this is done then they note they turn their attention to the stent placement but no documentation stating the Ultrasound guidance was used for that. Under these circumstances should 76937 be billed?
Thanks in advance for any feed back anyone can provide
Does anybody have a 2017 or 2018 cardiology coding book (USED) they would like to sell? If not can you direct me to someone or somewhere, I’m preparing for my CCC certification and I would like all the resources I can get
Thanks
