The ultimate responsibility for correct coding lies with the provider of services. Please contact your local payer for interpretation of the appropriate codes to use for specific procedures. Medtronic makes no guarantee that the use of this information will prevent differences of opinion or disputes with Medicare or other third-party payers as to the correct form of billing or the amount that will be paid to providers of service. Where reimbursement is requested for the use of a product that may be inconsistent or not expressly specified in the FDA cleared or approved labeling (e.g., instructions for use, operator s manual, or package insert), consult with your billing advisors or payers for advice on handling such billing issues. Some payers may have policies that make it inappropriate to submit claims for such items or related services. 2 of 8 September 2018

3 DIAGNOSIS CODES ICD-10-CM 1 Diagnosis Codes that May Support Ablation Procedures The following is a list of diagnosis codes that may be associated with VT, SVT, and PVI ablation procedures. The list is for illustrative purposes only. Refer to the Instructions for Use supplied with a product for indications, contraindications, side effects, warnings, and precautions. ICD-10-CM 1 Diagnosis Code ICD-10-CM 1 Diagnosis Code Description I47.0 Re-entry ventricular arrhythmia I47.1 Supraventricular tachycardia (includes AVNRT) I47.2 Ventricular tachycardia I47.9 Paroxysmal tachycardia, unspecified I48.0 Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation I48.1 Persistent atrial fibrillation I48.2 Chronic atrial fibrillation I48.3 Typical atrial flutter (type I) I48.4 Atypical atrial flutter (type (II) I49.01 Ventricular fibrillation I49.02 Ventricular flutter I49.1 Atrial premature depolarization (premature atrial beats and contractions) I49.2 Junctional premature depolarization I49.3 Ventricular premature depolarization (premature ventricular contractions) I49.40 Unspecified premature depolarization (unspecified premature beats) I49.49 Other premature depolarization (includes ectopic beats) I49.5 Sick sinus syndrome (tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome) I49.8 Other specified cardiac arrhythmias I49.9 Cardiac arrhythmia, unspecified I48.91 Unspecified atrial fibrillation I48.92 Unspecified atrial flutter 3 of 8 September 2018

4 COVERAGE FOR CATHETER ABLATION PROCEDURES Medicare: Medicare has not issued national or local coverage determinations for catheter ablation services. The Social Security Act allows coverage and payment for only those services that are considered to be medically reasonable and necessary. 2 The medical necessity for services provided must be documented in the medical record. Other Payers: We recommend that you contact the patient s insurance company for guidance on what specific codes are required for catheter ablation procedures as part of your request for a prior authorization or a predetermination. PHYSICIAN SERVICES CODING Significant changes were made to the CPT codes for catheter ablation procedures for services performed on and after January 1, Both the catheter ablation and electrophysiological study (EPS) aspects of the procedure are reflected in these catheter ablation codes. In some instances, the catheter ablation and EPS procedures are no longer considered distinct procedures and therefore not reportable with separate codes. Some of the CPT 3 codes used to describe EP diagnostic and cardiac catheter ablation procedures, as well as mapping procedures, which may sometimes be concurrently performed at physician s discretion, are listed below. Catheter Ablation: CPT 3 Code CPT 3 Code Description Intracardiac catheter ablation of atrioventricular node function, atrioventricular conduction for creation of complete heart block, with or without temporary pacemaker placement Comprehensive electrophysiologic evaluation including insertion and repositioning of multiple electrode catheters with induction or attempted induction of an arrhythmia with right atrial pacing and recording, right ventricular pacing and recording (when necessary) and His bundle recording (when necessary) with intracardiac catheter ablation of arrhythmogenic focus; with treatment of supraventricular tachycardia by ablation of fast or slow atrioventricular pathway, accessory atrioventricular connection, cavo-tricuspid isthmus or other single atrial focus or source of atrial re-entry (Do not report in conjunction with , 93610, 93612, , 93642, 93654, 93656) with treatment of ventricular tachycardia or focus of ventricular ectopy including intracardiac electrophysiologic 3D mapping, when performed, and left ventricular pacing and recording, when performed (Do not report in conjunction with , , , , , , 93622, 93642, 93653, 93656) Comprehensive electrophysiologic evaluation including transseptal catheterizations, insertion and repositioning of multiple electrode catheters with induction or attempted induction of an arrhythmia including left or right atrial pacing/recording when necessary, right ventricular pacing/recording when necessary and His bundle recording when necessary with intracardiac catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation by pulmonary vein isolation (Do not report in conjunction with , , 93462, 93600, , 93610, 93612, , ) National Physician Rate $ $ $1, $1, The ablation procedure codes 93650, 93653, and are distinct primary procedure codes and may not be reported together. Add-on codes and may be applicable when intracardiac catheter ablation of a discrete arrhythmia is performed after the treatment of the primary ablated mechanism Intracardiac catheter ablation of a discrete mechanism of arrhythmia which is distinct from the primary ablated mechanism, including repeat diagnostic maneuvers, to treat a spontaneous or induced arrhythmia (Use in conjunction with , 93656) $ of 8 September 2018
