How should the use of DFR be coded in the facility setting?
A patient arrives for a redo PVI due to evidence of continuing atrial fibrillation. The EP study performed demonstrates continued PVI block. 3D mapping and programmed stimulation with Isuprel elucidates that the patient is having episodes of mitral annulus atrial flutter that is ablated. How should this situation be coded?
Is catheter placement bundled in the new PA revasc. codes?
How should DES stents with lithotripsy be reported for facility coding since the C-codes are not listed as a primary intervention?
Am I understanding correctly that the Category III 0715T can only be used when a bare metal stent is placed?
How would we code for the following scenario? An interventional cardiologist performs a PTCA in the LAD followed by drug-eluting stent placement in the same vessel, subsequently the physician next performs a PTCA in the RCA.
Can we report 93463 for pharmacologic agent administration in conjunction with coronary interventional procedures?
Would we report a modifier for code 93926 in a hospital-based setting?
Would we report a modifier with code 93926 in a physician-owned setting?
Why was category III code 0742T established for cardiology?
Can we assign 93460 if a left ventriculogram is performed?
Can we report 93451 with Category III code 0345T?
