Need help. Patient has 70% stenosis of Left Circumflex and 70% stenosis of 1st OM and 100% chronic total occlusion of Lateral 1st OM. Intervention was 1. stenting of Left Circumflex, 2. Atherectomy/Stenting 1st OM and 3. Atherectomy/Stenting of Lateral 1st OM. I was looking at C9600 and C9607 but was told it was incorrect? Any help would be appreciated.

For the CTO, I agree with the C9607 (92943 for the doctor). I would code C9603 for the atherectomy and stenting of OM (92934 for the doctor)

Hey,

I know that this question has already been answered but I wanted to included a question of my own, that would expand on this.


We have a Provider that is just saying that it's a CTO. He's not including the percentage of the findings. We can't charge the 92944 without that percentage, right?
