Use CPT code 93541 or other appropriate right heart catheterization code (93543, 93456, 93457, 93460 or 93461) when right heart catheterization is done in a cardiac catheterization laboratory or in an interventional radiology laboratory and the procedure is done as part of a formal cardiac catheterization study.
Measurement: While this root operation is in the medical and surgical-related section, it is the choice for cardiac catheterization procedures. With cardiac catheters—right, left, or both—there are additional procedures including coronary angiography and left ventriculography, which are coded separately.
Therefore, they should not be separately coded when a flow-directed catheter (e.g., Swan-Ganz) is placed in the right heart for monitoring purposes or when an endomyocardial biopsy is performed without obtaining hemodynamic data not previously available.
CPT codes 93454 and 93455 (catheter placement, angiography) should be billed, as appropriate, when coronary or bypass angiography without left heart catheterization is performed. CPT codes 93454 and 93455 may be billed only once per catheterization.
0 for Cardiac catheterization as the cause of abnormal reaction of the patient, or of later complication, without mention of misadventure at the time of the procedure is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Complications of medical and surgical care .
CPT code 93460 – Coronary angiography with right and left heart catheterization.
Z95.5ICD-10 code Z95. 5 for Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Use CPT code 93541 or other appropriate right heart catheterization code (93543, 93456, 93457, 93460 or 93461) when right heart catheterization is done in a cardiac catheterization laboratory or in an interventional radiology laboratory and the procedure is done as part of a formal cardiac catheterization study.
Diagnostic Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that involves insertion of a thin flexible tube (catheter) into the right or left side of the heart, usually through the groin or arm.
4A023NZLeft Cardiac Catheterization with PTCA The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 4A023NZ, Catheterization, Heart.
ICD-10 code: Z95. 5 Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft.
The second major coronary artery stenting would be reported using the normal stent codes (92928) for the PC or for the facility if a bare metal stent was placed. If a DES was placed in the RC, you would report C9600 for the facility instead of 92928.
So I can code 92928 for additional stent placement with 92941... Yes you can.
93460 involves a left and right heart catheterization, while 93458 involves only an LHC. 93454 does not involve a catheterization, but instead simply a closure device angiography. Make sure you don't code any closure devices separately, as they are included in this code.
Overview. Cardiac catheterization (kath-uh-tur-ih-ZAY-shun) is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is guided through a blood vessel to the heart to diagnose or treat certain heart conditions, such as clogged arteries or irregular heartbeats.
It appears that if physician performs a LHC including inj/interp of angios and LV than 93458 would be used and 93452 will be used only when the physician performs an LV with no angio of coronaries or is this backwards. I am pulling my hair out regarding these two codes what they would be replacing.

Code 93453 includes all left heart catheterization components, including the function of the mitral valves, aortic valves, and aortic valve regurgitation. For right and left heart catheterization with coronary angiography, refer to 93460. For bypass graft angiography, use 93461 (description follows).
93460 involves a left and right heart catheterization, while 93458 involves only an LHC. 93454 does not involve a catheterization, but instead simply a closure device angiography. Make sure you don't code any closure devices separately, as they are included in this code.
