Cardiology procedure

About 92930: Coronary stenting for multiple lesions

Reports coronary stent placement treating two or more lesions in one major coronary artery or branch during a percutaneous intervention.

An interventional cardiologist reports this service when placing intracoronary stents to treat at least two lesions within the same major coronary artery or branch. The procedure is typically performed in a cardiac catheterization laboratory; coronary angioplasty is included when performed as part of the intervention. The code’s multi-lesion scope is confined to one artery or branch, rather than lesions distributed across separate major arteries.

Use the catheterization report to support the number and locations of lesions treated and the stent placement. This is a minor procedure with a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and applies a 50% reduction to the others. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Is coronary angioplasty separately reported when performed with the stenting?

Angioplasty performed as part of this stent intervention is included in the service. The catheterization report should identify the treated lesions and stent placement.

Should modifier 50 be appended for treatment on both sides?
