This First Coast Billing and Coding Article for Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L33763 Vascular Stenting of Lower Extremity Arteries provides billing and coding guidance for frequency limitations as well as diagnosis limitations that support diagnosis to procedure code automated denials. However, services performed for any given diagnosis must meet all of the indications and limitations stated in the LCD, the general requirements for medical necessity as stated in CMS payment policy manuals, any and all existing CMS national coverage determinations, and all Medicare payment rules.
Billing and Coding articles provide guidance for the related Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and assist providers in submitting correct claims for payment. Billing and Coding articles typically include CPT/HCPCS procedure codes, ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, as well as Bill Type, Revenue, and CPT/HCPCS Modifier codes. The code lists in the article help explain which services (procedures) the related LCD applies to, the diagnosis codes for which the service is covered, or for which the service is not considered reasonable and necessary and therefore not covered.
Contractors may specify Bill Types to help providers identify those Bill Types typically used to report this service . Absence of a Bill Type does not guarantee that the article does not apply to that Bill Type. Complete absence of all Bill Types indicates that coverage is not influenced by Bill Type and the article should be assumed to apply equally to all claims.

Embolization of a cerebral aneurysm is coded to the root operation Restriction, because the objective of the procedure is not to close off the vessel entirely, but to narrow the lumen of the vessel at the site of the aneurysm where it is abnormally wide. B4.4 Coronary arteries.
In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetical Index main term entry is Dilation with the subterm of larynx. The code is 31.98, Other operations on larynx. This code does not provide any specification to show if the procedure was performed with or without a laryngoscope. The root operation in ICD-10-PCS is the same main entry term used to look up the ICD-9-CM procedure code, Dilation. Review the Alphabetical Index for term Dilation and subterm, Larynx. This provides the code table to reference for the complete code, which is 0C7S. The appropriate ICD-10-PCS code for this procedure is 0C7S8ZZ. The fourth character (S) identifies that the procedure was performed on the larynx. The fifth character (8) provides the approach, which is via natural or artificial opening, endoscopic. Since no device was left in place, the sixth character (Z) indicates no device and no qualifier (Z) was assigned for the seventh character.

A fallopian tube ligation involves severing and sealing the tubes to prevent pregnancy. There are several different ways to accomplish this result, such as with sutures, clips, or rings.

Coding professionals should start acquainting themselves with the 31 different root operations in the medical and surgical section. An in-depth understanding of the definitions and applications of the various root operations and knowledge of the integral components of procedures will be important in making a smooth transition.
