Cardiac catheterization requires personal (in person) supervision of its performance by a physician. When performed in a teaching setting, the teaching physician must be present with the resident throughout the procedure. The performance by the resident alone would not establish a basis for fee schedule payment for such services. Furnished in a setting appropriate to the patient's medical needs and condition. Cardiac catheterization is generally indicated to determine the optimal therapeutic strategy in a given patient with heart disease. It may also be used to establish that the diagnosis is coronary artery disease. In most cases, the results of diagnostic cardiac catheterization would guide the physician in selecting a primarily medical vs. an interventional or surgical approach. This is the introduction of catheter(s) into the aorta, left ventricle and left atrium and includes cannulation of the coronary arteries and bypass grafts. It includes hemodynamic measurements, blood sampling and shunt determinations as part of the procedure. Placement of multiple catheters and their repositioning or replacement is included in this procedure.

This procedure is done in a cardiac catheterization laboratory or interventional radiology laboratory and does not include a "bedside placement" of a flow directed (Swan-Ganz type) catheter. - Combined right and left heart catheterization (ventriculography only): procedurecode Cardiac catheterization may be utilized in various clinical situations ranging from those requiring only a right heart catheterization to those requiring the performance of right and left heart catheterization with simultaneous interventional procedures. The following guidelines outline the medical necessity for coverage. There is no additional reimbursement for a right heart catheterization done for reasons other than hemodynamic evaluation. Providers are reminded to refer to the long descriptors of the CPT codes in their CPT books. The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Centers for Me Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory; unless specified in the policy services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination. Complete absence of all Revenue Codes indicates that coverage is not influenced by Revenue Code

Indirect Expenses (clerical,overhead, and other) are also included in the practice expense. Choose to compare fees (national or adjusted for your locality) from built-in data sets and the fee schedules you enter. There's a straightforward reason to this, too. While CMS-1500 and UB-04 forms, the two most common claim forms, have space for four modifiers, payers don't always look at modifiers after the first two. Because of this, you always want the most important modifiers to be visible.

National Correct Coding Initiative guidelines should be followed. 10. Screening and/or routine interval examinations will be denied. Cardiac catheterization is generally indicated to determine the optimal therapeutic strategy in a given patient with heart disease. It may also be used to establish that the diagnosis is coronary artery disease. In most cases, the results of diagnostic cardiac catheterization would guide the physician in selecting a primarily medical vs. an interventional or surgical approach. There is no additional reimbursement for a left heart catheterization done for reasons other than hemodynamic evaluation or angiography. Therefore, left

3 heart catheterization is not separately reimbursed with studies such as electrophysiologic or pacing studies or endomyocardial biopsies (unless there is medical necessity). Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is the introduction and maneuvering of a catheter into the heart to assess cardiac function. This assessment may include the measurement of intracavitary pressures, obtaining blood samples for blood gas analysis, dilution curves and determination of cardiac output. Additionally, specific angiographic information may be obtained by selective injection of contrast material. The completion of the diagnostic cardiac catheterization and the interventional procedure on the same day is increasingly the standard of practice. While there may be legitimate reasons for delaying the interventional procedure (e.g., transfer from a community hospital to a tertiary center), Medicare strongly discourages the separation of these procedures to circumvent the multiple surgery pricing. Cardiac catheterization requires personal (in person) supervision of its performance by a physician. When performed in a teaching setting, the teaching physician must be present with the resident throughout the procedure. The performance by the resident alone would not establish a basis for fee schedule payment for such services. Codes and should not be used when congenital heart disease is suspected but not found during echocardiographic evaluation. In such circumstances, the non-congenital echocardiography codes should be reported. (CPT Assistant, August 2013). Studies done in conjunction with electrophysiologic tests, HIS bundle studies, pacing studies, temporary pacemaker insertion and endomyocardial biopsy are not separately payable. Right heart catheterization with hemodynamic measurements done at the same time as these above-mentioned procedures will still have to meet the requirements of medical necessity. 9. Examination frequency exceeding those outlined in "Indications and Limitations of Coverage and/or Medical Necessity" when contemporaneous medical records inadequately support medical necessity, will be denied on review Catheter placement in coronary artery(s) for coronary angiography, including intraprocedural injection(s) for coronary angiography, imaging supervision and interpretation; with right and left heart catheterization including intraprocedural injection(s) for left ventriculography, when performed 07/01/2013 Diagnostic Cardiac Heart Catheterizations. - Coronary Arteriogram and right catheterization (with ventriculography): procedurecodes 93460, Medicare does not separately reimburse for 3D (76376/76377) for hospital outpatients. Rather, the payment is bundled into the base procedure. However, it is important that hospitals continue to establish charges and report these procedures to maintain accurate future rate-setting by Medicare. In addition, the reporting of these services is necessary for maintaining reimbursement with private payers (who may separately reimburse).note 3D codes are reported in addition to the primary echocardiography procedure code (e.g., 93306). Q: When performing an echocardiogram for congenital heart defects we use these codes 93303, and If the study reveals a normal cardiac structure does the code have to be changed to 93306? Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service. Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the policy does not apply to that Bill Type.

It is not reimbursable for atherosclerotic heart disease. Angiograms to visualize the coronary ostia are included as part of coronary angiography. A diagnosis of "rule out (valvular lesion)" is not reimbursable. Coronary angiography includes arteriograms of all the coronary arteries and their branches, regardless of the number of vessels visualized. Coronary angiography includes angiograms done with the administration of medications for diagnostic purposes (e.g., ergonovine, nitroglycerin) as part of the procedure.

P5 a moribund patient who is not expected to survive without the operation. Many CPT modifiers require supplemental reports to the health insurance payer. If, for instance, a payer wants to know why a surgery to repair lesions on the liver of a patient was discontinued (let's say there was a complication with one of the proximal organs), the coder would want to file a supplementary report stating this. We both want to code to the highest level of specificity and provide as much documentation as possible. If a modifier that requires justification of medical necessity is left without a supplemental report, the claim that procedure is on may very well be rejected. * Total Time may be greater than the displayed components.

7 There is no additional reimbursement for a left heart catheterization done for reasons other than hemodynamic evaluation or angiography. Therefore, left heart catheterization is not separately reimbursed with studies such as electrophysiologic or pacing studies or endomyocardial biopsies (unless there is medical necessity). The advantages of these devices include more rapid hemostasis and earlier patient ambulation after the angiographic or cardiac procedure, allowing more of these procedures to be performed as outpatient services. They also reduce the amount of physician time spent compressing an artery and monitoring a patient postangiography or catheterization. These services are not separately payable with diagnostic cardiac catheterization procedures. - Coronary Arteriogram and right catheterization (no ventriculography): procedurecodes 93456, Vascular closure of the puncture site is an inherent part of all procedures for arterial access.
