Providers should use the CPT codes 92980-92981 for stent insertion regardless of whether stents are coated (i.e. “drug-eluting”) or not. HCPCS codes G0290/G0291 are new codes for 2003 specifically for drug eluting stents, but these codes were intended for only the HOPPS setting (Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System).
