Wiki Carotid Stenosis

[warrenfamily103@gmail.com]

I wanted to ask about coding for Carotid Stenosis s/p stent. I believe the stenting took place in 2019. I am coding the condition as I65.22, because the provider documented that it is on the left side, would I also need an additional code for the presence of stent? I don't see an instructional note in the code book I'm using that instructs this. If so, would it be?

Look in the index of your CPT book under Presence (of) and you should be able to get to the code you're looking for.
