CPT code 92941: Coronary revascularization, acute MI, one vessel2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare pays $589.53 for 92941 nationally in a facility.

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 92941 covers

An interventional cardiologist uses a catheter-based approach to reopen a coronary artery or bypass graft with an acute total or subtotal occlusion during an acute myocardial infarction. The procedure may use balloon angioplasty, a stent, atherectomy, or a combination of these techniques; aspiration thrombectomy is included when performed. This is typically done in a hospital cardiac catheterization laboratory as urgent treatment of the infarction.

Report the code for one treated vessel when the record supports the acute infarction, the acute occlusion, and the intervention performed. Document the vessel and the methods used to restore flow; do not separately report the included angioplasty, stent, atherectomy, or aspiration thrombectomy for that vessel. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

How to choose

92943CTO PCIAntegrade approach

92941 applies to revascularization during an acute myocardial infarction with an acute total or subtotal occlusion. 92943 is for a chronic total occlusion in a native coronary artery.

92945CTO revascularizationAntegrade and retrograde

92945 addresses chronic total occlusion revascularization, including in a bypass graft. Use 92941 for the specified acute-MI occlusion circumstance.

92937Graft revascularizationSingle bypass-graft vessel

92937 describes percutaneous revascularization of a bypass graft outside the acute-MI occlusion code's specific circumstances. 92941 is selected when its acute-MI criteria are met.

92928Coronary stentingOne artery or branch

92928 reports coronary stent placement in circumstances not captured by 92941. When stenting treats an acute total or subtotal occlusion during an acute myocardial infarction, 92941 captures the intervention.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
