TAVR Rules Changed by CMS - AAPC Knowledge Center Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) national coverage policy rules have been streamlined by the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services TAVR national coverage policy rules have been streamlined by the CMS as the minimally invasive intravenous procedure becomes more commonplace
Get to the Heart of Coding TAVR - AAPC Knowledge Center Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive cardiac procedure to replace a diseased aortic valve in a person’s heart The most common reason to undergo TAVR is aortic stenosis, which is an abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve opening that restricts the flow of blood out of the left ventricle to the rest of the body
Wiki - TAVR via transcarotid approach CPT code??? - AAPC Would unlisted code 33999 be appropriate to code for a TAVR procedure done via a transcarotid approach? This is the code I seem to want to default to since there is no cpt code for a TAVR done via a transcarotid approach The op report documentation is listed below for reference: Procedure: Procedure (s): Right Transcarotid Approach Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement with 34mm Medtronic
Wiki - Tavr - I am needing to know what - AAPC When transcatheter ventricular support is required in conjunction with TAVR TAVI, the appropriate code should be reported with the appropriate ventricular assist device (VAD) procedure code (33990-33993, 33975, 33999) or balloon pump insertion code (33967, 33970, 33973) Please see VAD coding memo for coding guidelines
Coding Mitral and Aortic Valve Transcatheter Placement - AAPC TAVR TAVI Coding The TAVR TAVI codes (CPT® 33361-33366) have been in place since 2013, and their use is fairly straightforward; however, you may have questions about how to code for transcatheter aortic valve in valve procedures

CTA studies prior to TAVR | Medical Billing and Coding Forum - AAPC My radiologist is asking if they can charge 72175, 75574 and 74174 when they perform CTA's in workup prior to TAVR As far as my research seems to indicate, these three are billable when performed in the same session As far as the aortic annular and vascular measurements, I believe they are
Tackle This Tricky 93355 Case Study for TEE Coding Success - AAPC Code 93355 now has a CCI edit with TAVR (2016) and Watchman (2017) due to standard routine use during procedure, Neighbors adds It has been identified and determined that 90 percent of these procedures standardly and routinely use TEE guidance
