Injection Procedures during Cardiac Catheterizations Q: Are CPT codes 93539-93556 intended to be used per session or per vessel/structure injected?
The carrier will interpret and edit for these codes as per session. Should the beneficiary require a return to the catheterization lab the same date of service, then these procedures would be appropriately billed again with modifier 76 appended. A provider may also append the 22 modifier in those cases the provider feels were unusually long or complicated. The latter would require submission of the operative report and modifier 22 explanation form.
