Is it approprate to bill the 93508 (Catheter placement in coronary artery(s), angiography without left heart catheterization along with 92980(stent)

We are continuing to get denials for insurance companies when billing the 93508 with 92980- 92984. The denail reason is included in the 92980. I have check the coding companion and it does not list the 93508 as a CCI edit to the 92980-92984.

I have received some information back regarding this denial from one of the commercial carriers stating this information was issued by the American College of Cardiology guidelines.

I am trying to get clearification on weather to bill or not to bill the 93508 with 92980-92984?

Well placement of a stent requires putting a catheter into the coronary artery, so it makes sense that you are trying to double bill. Surely, your associates must know this. Why don't you take it up with them?
