In simple terms, it is similar to stent placement in that a fully collapsible valve is inserted through a catheter followed by the use of an angioplasty balloon to expand and seat the new valve. Once the new valve is seated, it pushes the old valve leaflets out of the way and the new valve takes control of the blood flow.

What is a TAVR charge?

The clinical staff selection of the correct TAVR charge is a critical element in the hospitals’ documentation and reimbursement process.

When necessary, the CPT code will be attached to the charge by the coder. When performed in the Cardiac Catheterization Lab, TAVR is usually reported as a single all-inclusive procedure charge. The charge includes virtually everything required to implant the valve successfully. This includes access, catheter placements, valve deployment, angiography during and after the procedure, arteriotomy closure, balloon valvuloplasty and a temporary pacemaker.
