Please keep in mind Impella is an inpatient only procedure, so coding on the hospital side would be captured via ICD-10-PCS. CPT is used to capture the professional component only. You will experience denials if you bill the facility charges as an outpatient procedure.
Given the patient's severely reduced LV systolic function and proximal LAD intervention, high risk PCI is recommended but with support with Impella device. After obtaining informed consent from the patient, he was brought to the catheterization laboratory.

5A0221D, assistance with cardiac output using impeller pump, continuous (for the assistance with the impeller pump) I found it interesting that Coding Clinic explicitly states that this advice applied only to Impella and not to other devices, such as Swan-Ganz catheters or intra-aortic balloon pumps.
Z95. 811 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
The IABP is not coded as a device within ICD-10-PCS and is coded with the root operation of “Assistance.” The ICD-10-PCS code for insertion of an IABP for continuous pumping would be 5A02210, Extracorporeal or Systemic Assistance, Physiologic Systems, Assistance, Cardiac, Continuous, Output, Balloon Pump.
ICD-10-CM code Z95. 0 is used to report the presence of a cardiac pacemaker without current complications.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95. 818 became effective on October 1, 2021.
If the Impella® device is left in place at the end of the procedure an ICD-10-PCS code for the insertion of the device WITHOUT intraoperative qualifier, 02HA3RZ and assistance (5A0) are reported.
Effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2013, submit CPT code 33990 or 33991, as appropriate, for insertion of this device.

You could also report 33285 and 33286 with modifier 59 (or modifier XE) if for some reason the old monitor was removed during one encounter and the new monitor was inserted at a separate encounter later on the same day.

Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM/PCS, First Quarter 2017, which became effective March 15 , provides interesting perspectives regarding coding and documentation for Impell®, an implantable heart pump device that supports a patient’s circulation and, when implanted or removed, has a significant effect on MS-DRGs or APR-DRGs.
This advice in Coding Clinic, First Quarter 2017, pp. 10–14, makes it very clear that the insertion of an Impella device cannot be coded if it occurs after the start of a procedure and then is removed prior to or at the end of the procedure. The issue states (emphasis added): “Assign a code for the assistance only [5A0] when an external heart assist device such as the Impella is inserted intraoperatively and removed at the completion of the procedure. It would not be appropriate to assign a code for the insertion of the device.”
Coding Clinic does allow us to code the insertion and/or removal of an Impella device if its removal occurs outside the confines of a surgical procedure. On p. 11, it states that these codes are assigned when an Impella device, implanted during surgery, is left in for a few hours postoperatively. In this case, Coding Clinic suggests that the following codes would be assigned:
On the other hand, the ICD-10-PCS performance codes for Impella [5A0-] may have a different effect, or no effect at all, if not paired with an Impella insertion or removal code. Learn more about Impella here.
