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.

92930 billing questions
When should this code be selected instead of 92928?
Use this code for stent placement treating two or more lesions in one major coronary artery or branch. Code 92928 describes the single-lesion situation.
Can lesions in separate coronary arteries be combined under this code?
No. The multi-lesion scope is within one major coronary artery or branch; document the treated locations and select services based on the applicable vessel and lesion circumstances.
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?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the other procedures by 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity.
