The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z95. 818 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Z01.810ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for preprocedural cardiovascular examination Z01. 810.
Current procedural terminology (CPT) code 33340 is used to bill for the procedure to place the WATCHMAN device.
CPT Code + Modifier Description 33340-62 Left atrial appendage closure can be billed by two surgeons by appending the -62 modifier to 33340 (eg. 33340-62). *Commercial payment will vary and will be at discretion of the payer.
Z01.818Most pre-op exams will be coded with Z01. 818. The ICD-10 instructions say to use the preprocedural diagnosis code first, and then the reason for the surgery and any additional findings.
When the surgeon sees the patient the day of surgery prior to the operation that visit is not billable. This is because the preoperative time of that visit has already been valued in the 90-day global code (CPT 27447) as part of the pre-time package.
02L73DKThe ICD 10 procedure code for reporting WATCHMAN implants is 02L73DK (occlusion of left atrial appendage with intraluminal device, percutaneous approach). This procedure code maps to MS-DRGs 273 and 274 for hospital inpatient payment.
The WATCHMAN implant device is about the size of a quarter and shaped like a parachute. It is implanted into the heart to close off the left atrial appendage (LAA), a blind pouch of heart tissue to prevent blood clots from forming and causing a stroke.
Medicare classifies WATCHMAN LAAC procedures as Inpatient-only.
CPT® 33340, Under Surgical Procedures on the Heart (Including Valves) and Great Vessels. The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 33340 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Surgical Procedures on the Heart (Including Valves) and Great Vessels.
CPT® Code 93312 in section: Echocardiography, transesophageal, real-time with image documentation (2D) (with or without M-mode recording)
33999Submit claims for all other LAA devices (e.g., Amplatzer cardiac plug, Amulet, AtriClip device, Lariat Snare device; this is not an all-inclusive list) using CPT code 33999. A concise description of the service is required, although the service will not be covered.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Z45.09 is not usually sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed.
When an inpatient hospital WATCHMAN device admission follows a previous inpatient admission for a related or unrelated procedure, readmission policies may apply. A quality review may be triggered and warrant a case review to evaluate combining the inpatient admissions. Each case is specific to clinical circumstances for each admission.
