The Cardiac Pacemakers, Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD), Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy and Implantable/Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICM) Coding Guide is intended to provide reimbursement educational information tied to use of these products when used consistently with the products' labeling. This guide includes information regarding coverage, coding and reimbursement, as well as general information regarding appealing denied claims and supporting documentation.
Effective January 1, 2020, the code for the technical component of remote monitoring for Implantable Cardiovascular Physiologic Monitoring Systems and Implantable/Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICMs), CPT Code 93299, will be deleted. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) created a new G-code, G2066, to report this service. G2066 can be reported by physicians and outpatient hospitals. G2066 will continue to be carrier-priced, as 93299 was, and the description of the code will be the same. See pages 49 and 53 for more information.
Diagnosis codes are used by both hospitals and physicians to document the indication for the procedure. For Cardiac Pacemaker, Implantable Cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and Implantable/Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICM) patients, there are many possible diagnosis code scenarios and a wide variety of possible combinations. The possible scenarios and combinations are too numerous to capture in this document. The customer should check with their local carriers or intermediaries and should consult with legal counsel or a financial, coding or reimbursement specialist for coding, reimbursement or billing questions related to ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes.
In certain circumstances, an additional lead may be required to achieve pacing of the left ventricle (biventricular pacing). In this event, the additional transvenous lead placement should be separately reported using 33224 or 33225. 33226 is reported for repositioning. See the Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy section, pages 27-38, for more information.
Add-on code 33225 can be performed when medically appropriate with the primary service/procedure codes listed below. Add-on codes may not be reported as a stand-alone and must be billed when performed in conjunction with the primary service or procedure. Add-on codes qualify for separate payment for physicians and are not subject to the Physician Multiple Payment Reduction Rule.
For inpatient and outpatient institutional claims ICD-10-CM codes I25.2, I25.5, I42.0, I42.6, I42.7, I42.8 and Z 76.82 must be reported with a secondary diagnosis as described in the Article Text above.

Medical versus Dental Insurance At this point in time, dental insurance provides little to no reimbursement for implants. Dentists may mistakenly think that they are limited to accessing dental insurance plans and that only physicians and perhaps oral surgeons can bill medical insurance. In fact, dentists can bill medical insurance for any procedure or treatment that is within the scope of their license. Implant procedures are eligible for medical billing when they meet threshold of medical necessity. Examples include cases that restore function by resolving a compromised ability to chew. Another example of medically necessary implant procedures are cases where oral disease complicates, or causes, other medical conditions such as digestive or nutritional problems from impaired chewing function. Patient and Practice Beneits Equipping your practice to support medical billing allows patients to realize the oral and systemic health beneits of implants affordably, minimizing out-of-pocket expenses, and maximizing total insurance plan beneits. There are also many signiicant beneits to the practice. Soon to be published, this comprehensive series offers a practical method for developing a successful medical billing protocol.
The contraceptive implant is a single-rod etonogestrel- releasing contraceptive device inserted under the skin of the upper arm. The insertion and/or removal of the implant are reported using one of the following CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes:
The diagnostic coding will vary, but usually will be selected from the Z30.01- (encounter for initial prescription of contraceptives) and Z30.4- (encounter for surveillance of contraceptives) series in ICD-10- CM. These codes are:
CPT procedure codes do not include the cost of the supply. Report the supply separately using a HCPCS (Healthcare Procedural Coding System) code:
Cochlear implantation is a surgical procedure for the treatment of severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in both children and adults.
CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association. DISCLAIMER. The information provided in this article by the American Academy of Audiology Coding and Reimbursement Committee is to provide general information and educational guidance to audiologists.
Codes 92626 and 92627 include assessment of auditory function to determine a patient’s candidacy for and progress with surgically implanted devices, proficiency in speech understanding with their hearing loss, as well as face-to-face time spent with the patient or family.
Adults and children with severe to profound hearing loss can benefit greatly from cochlear implantation and reap the quality of life benefits associated with better hearing. While clinics specializing in this area are few, the addition of CI to your practice provides an opportunity to help more patients by mitigating the deleterious effects of more severe hearing losses.
