Hello there,

I am not certain which icd code should be used when that patient whom had CAD with angioplasty or stent insert. Should I use 414.00 or 414.01?

Please advise.
 
If the medical record documentation does not indicatte that the patient has a history of prior coronary artery bypass surgery I would code 414.01 as the CAD would have to be in a native artery then.
