Wiki 92929 Denials

[bportcardio]

Medicare and Medicare replacement plans are bundling code 92929 when done in a seperate vessel. Example.
92928RC
92929LC59

92928LC
92929LD59

Anyone else having an issue with this?

 

[JHCARR]

Medicare and most other insurances are not paying for the add-on codes.
Medicare stated this when these codes were changed.
They will not pay for the additional branch codes. They are considered
bundled.
92921
92925
92929
92934
92938
92944

Hope this helps,

I have been billing it as 92928LD and 92928LC and have not had any problems getting it pd. I think the 92929 is for an additional branch of the major artery that was billed as primary.
