Due to ST sehment elevation MI the patient was recommended for an emergent catheterization and possible intervention.
Our Doctor proformed
LH Cath
4 stents placed in the LD
Thrombectomy-LD
Angioplasty-LD
I am looking at useing codes 93458-26/59, 92941-LD,92973.
Is the angioplasty included in this code even though there is new medical necessity for it?
I also see the thrombectomy is included however this I am under the impression this is for "aspiration" thrombectomy not mechanical.

Thank you,

As long as a true heart cath was performed then yes, you could bill 93458-26-59.

I agree with 92941. Angioplasty would be included in 92941, "any combination of intracoronary stent, atherectomy and angioplasty."

I would think you could bill for thrombectomy 92973 for mechanical, so I agree with you. I haven't heard that you can't bill the 92973 with 92941, you could always double check NCCI.
