What is VAD code 93750?

Patients with a previously implanted ventricular assist device (VAD) require periodic interrogation of the device, as reported with 93750 Interrogation of ventricular assist device (VAD), in person, with physician analysis of device parameters (e.g. drivelines, alarms, power surges), review of device function (e.g. flow and volume status, septum status, recovery), with programming, if performed, and report. This code includes the physician analysis, review, and report. It also includes device programming, if performed.#N#Code 93750 is NOT reported with any of the surgical implantation codes (33975, 33976, 33979, 33981-33983), but typically is reported with an E/M visit. VAD management is considered to be a diagnostic service, which must be performed in person, and includes a face-to-face assessment of all device functions. Components that must be evaluated include:

Is 93750 a surgical code?

Code 93750 is NOT reported with any of the surgical implantation codes (33975, 33976, 33979, 33981-33983), but typically is reported with an E/M visit. VAD management is considered to be a diagnostic service, which must be performed in person, and includes a face-to-face assessment of all device functions.

What is the CPT code for a VAD?

The CPT codes for inserting an extracorporeal VAD are CPT codes 33975 and 33976. CPT 33975 is coded if a VAD supporting only one of the ventricles is inserted while CPT 33976 is coded if a VAD supporting both ventricles is inserted.

What is the code for a percutaneous VAD?

The CPT codes for inserting a percutaneous VAD are CPT codes 33990 or 33991. CPT 33990 is coded when an artery is accessed to place the VAD. CPT 33991 is coded when both an artery and a vein are accessed to place the VAD. CPT 33991 also includes a transseptal puncture “when performed.” This means you may still code CPT 33991 if both an artery and vein are accessed to place the VAD and no transseptal puncture is required, but you should not add a code like CPT 93462 to report a transseptal puncture when one is required since this work is already included in CPT 33991.

What is the CPT code for intracorporeal VAD?

The CPT code for inserting an intracorporeal VAD is CPT 33979. Unlike extracorporeal VADs, we do not have two different CPT codes to report devices that support a single ventricle vs those that support both ventricles. CPT 33979 is written for a “single ventricle” device. Intracorporeal VADs are most often placed to support only one ventricle, but in very sick patients, particularly those waiting for transplants, you may see an intracorporeal LVAD placed followed by an intracorporeal RVAD. If intracorporeal VADs are placed to support both ventricles, report C PT 33979 and then 33979 again with modifier 59 to represent the two devices inserted.

What is a VAD in the heart?

A VAD placed to support both ventricles of the heart is sometimes referred to as a biventricular VAD or a BIVAD for short. There are different types of VADs that can be implanted depending on the patient’s condition and the amount of time the patient is expected to need support from the VAD.

What is the difference between a VAD and a RVAD?

A VAD can be placed to support the left ventricle, the right ventricle, or both. A VAD placed to support the left ventricle is sometimes referred to as an LVAD for short while a VAD placed to support the right ventricle is sometimes referred to as an RVAD for short.

How is an extracorporeal VAD inserted?

An extracorporeal VAD is inserted through a more invasive open approach. The surgeon creates a sternotomy or a thoracotomy and inserts what are called “cannulas” (tubes that allow the blood to flow out of the body and into the VAD which then helps to circulate blood back into and through the entire body).

Where is the pump of a VAD located?

The pump of the VAD which is the part of the device that helps to pump and circulate the blood is located outside of the body. If we break down the word extracorporeal, extra means “outside” and corporeal refers to “the body” so the extracorporeal VAD is a VAD whose pump is outside the body. An example of an extracorporeal VAD is a Centrimag VAD.
