PTCA and stent on the same day

I have been told that the PTCA is inclusive of the stent. Only bill for the stent only.

even if he did the ptca of the RCA and the Distal branch of the RCA ?

Only one intervention per coronary artery-including the associated branches.

Insurance will consider these both part of the right coronary artery so you can't report them separately.
