I have been coding cardiology for 24 years and have always been told that 93451 should not be billed with pulmonary catheters. I am wondering how this procedure should be coded. I do not believe we should be coding 93573 since patient had CT prior to procedure so it is not considered diagnostic.

It was coded as: 93573, 93451, 37184-50 but I personally think it should be 36015-50, 37184-50. TIA

I agree with your choice of codes. Can't code for imaging since there is a CTA performed. If the Swan-Ganz was left in after the procedure, 93503 is billable.

HTH,
Jim
