*It's usually easy to figure out which category to use, but sometimes an intervention can be both therapeutic and diagnostic (e.g. thoracentesis). '''A rule is that when you have a procedure that has both therapeutic and diagnostic aspects, ONLY code the therapeutic part'''. ~~For example,~~ for a diagnostic cardiac catheterization where at the same sitting a stent is placed, only code [[Coronary angioplasty with stenting]], but don't code [[Coronary angiogram (diagnostic cardiac catherization)]].
