The 2020 NCCI manual, Chapter XI, Section I.14, lists stent placement (putting a small tube in the artery to keep it open), atherectomy (removing plaque from a blood vessel), and balloon angioplasty (inflating a tiny balloon at the blockage site to widen the area) as types of PCI. The related CPT® codes are 92920-+92944.

Heart Cath S&I Codes Need -59. Non-coronary angioplasties and angiograms have corresponding imaging codes that should be billed if those services are ...
