For coding a coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) procedure performed in an outpatient hospital setting, which HCPCS Level II supply code should be reported to ensure eligibility for the OPPS transitional pass-through payment, and how long is this payment expected to be available
C1761 is the HCPCS Level II supply code that describes the coronary intravascular lithotripsy device itself. This code is utilized for facility coding purposes. Currently, a facility OPPS transitional pass-through payment (TPT payment) is awarded for the use of coronary IVL that is dependent on the appropriate reporting of this HCPCS supply code. This TPT payment is slated to continue until mid-year 2024.
