definiton of artery vs branch

The CPT definition of 92920 is Angioplasty single major coronary artery or branch. And 92982 is the stent with angio artery or branch .

If the provider documents angioplasty on one (1) lesion in the Left Main and then places a stent another lesion in 1st Obtuse Marginal. Can 92920 and 92928. Be billed(this would be for a Medicare patient that bundles 92921 &92929.
This is to get clarification for an office that is interpreting the definitions differently.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
We are getting a lot of denials when we bill for multiple units of 88374. We are billing over the MUE of one, but it states to report for each unduplicated multiplex probe stain procedure per specimen. We will bill one unit, and then bill the additional units on another line with a XU modifier. Has anyone appealed these to Medicare? I have appealed even with documentation and nothing. I am getting a little frustrated, we bill a lot of these and appealing is timely...especially when the time spent does nothing. I'd appreciate any insight!
Thanks
