Hello,

I have been getting a difference of opinion on this. I would like others input on this. The note reads as follows. CAD, Previous cardiac cath with stent placement. Would you code 414.00 with v45.81 or v45.89?

Thanks in advance
 
Cardiac catheterization is a general term for a group of procedures that are performed using this method, such as coronary angiography, as well as left ventricle angiography. Once the catheter is in place, it can be used to perform a number of procedures including angioplasty, PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) angiography, balloon septostomy, and an Electrophysiology study or Catheter ablation. In your case a stent was done, so v4589..
