One lesion was treated with a drug-eluting stent and the other lesion treated with PTCA only. The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 4A023NZ, Catheterization, Heart B2151ZZ, Fluoroscopy, Heart, Left B2111ZZ, Fluoroscopy, Artery, Coronary, Multiple 027034Z, Angioplasty, Stent
In ICD-10-PCS, a left heart catheterization procedure is classified to the Measurement and Monitoring Section, to the root operation of Measurement. The definition of Measurement is “determining the level of a physiological or physical function at a point in time.”
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.
Coronary angiography is similar to catheterization of the left side of the heart because the coronary arteries branch off of the aorta just after it leaves the left side of the heart. Left heart catheterization can be performed alone or in conjunction with coronary angiography, and vice versa.

CPT codes 92928, 92933, 92929, 92934, 92937, 92938, 92941, 92943, and 92944 should be used to describe nondrug-eluting intracoronary stent placement procedures and are assigned to APC 0104.
In ICD-10-PCS, report 02703D6. Each component of this code denotes the following: 0 (medical/surgical [procedure]) 2 (heart and great vessels [body system])
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.
66-year-old with severe CAD is admitted for CABG x 3 using the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) to the left anterior descending (LAD), radial artery free graft from aorta to diagonal branch, and saphenous vein graft (SVG) from the aorta to the right coronary artery (RCA).
Patient with CAD is admitted for PTCA and stenting of 3 coronary arteries. Drug-eluting stents were placed in the RCA x 2 and LAD.
Typically, a heart catheterization, whether left or right or bilateral, is performed to assess and measure the function of either side of the heart, diagnose cardiac anomalies or birth defects of the heart, and/or to perform a biopsy of the heart.
Heart catheterization is really the only way to directly measure the pressure of blood in each chamber of the heart and in the major blood vessels going from the heart to the lungs. Coronary angiography procedures are typically performed to visualize one or more of the coronary arteries, looking for stenosis and/or atherosclerosis ...
Right heart catheterization can be performed alone or in conjunction with left heart catheterization and/or coronary angiography. Often, when a left heart catheterization procedure is performed, documentation may include the visualization and/or measurement of function of the left atrium and ventricle, the mitral and aortic valves, ...

This article contains coding and other guidelines that complement the local coverage determination (LCD) for Cardiac Catheterization and Coronary Angiography.
The use of an ICD-10-CM code listed below does not assure coverage of a service. The service must be reasonable and necessary in the specific case and must meet the criteria specified in the attached determination.
Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type.
Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination.
