Hello all you marvolous Coding geniuses out there.
Here are my 2 question:
1.) If stents are placed in multiple branches of a single vessel, is it appropriate to add a 22 modifier to the 92980, since (if I am correct) you can only code one stent placement per vessel?
2.) Also I'm in the process of explaining why my cardiologist can't charge for multiple sents in a single vessel and would love some printable proof for him. Any suggestions? Thank you so much for your help!!!
