Wiki Cpt c9606

[TWilliam2019]

First, I code for a physicians office. Needing to make sure we are doing this correct. PT HAS MEDICARE - we code a acute MI for a stent placement and use 92941. I have read that if pt has Medicare we should use C9606. Or is this for hospital coding? Can someone give me some information on this. Thanks

The hospital uses the C-codes. For the physician, it's the 929xx codes.
