37238, 37239 x 5
** you may code catheterization and imaging as well if documented.

 

[Jim Pawloski]

Where did you get the 37239 x 5? Is it the same stenosis or are the lesions separate? You really need a report, HIPPA cleaned, to correctly code.

Yes, you are right. I was careless to forget to ask if they were the same stenosis or not, it makes codes different.
