What are you using this with what drugs. My experience in using this code is with Cerebral Vasospasm studies.
Thanks,

Hi Jim,

Humm, well..

Example 1: Pt developed servere "no reflow" phenomena after stent deployment responding to tincture of time and intracoronary Cardene, nitroglycern & IV amnophyline.

Example 2: Patient was premedicated with Brilinta at start of procedure.
Perhaps code 93463 should have been used here, however cath and stent were perfomed, I usullay receive bundling denial when combining code 92928 with 93463.
