One lesion was treated with a drug-eluting stent and the other lesion treated with PTCA only. The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 4A023NZ, Catheterization, Heart B2151ZZ, Fluoroscopy
Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object. In its primary application of medical imaging, a fluoroscope allows a physician to see the internal structure and function of a patient, so that the pumping action of the heart or the motion of swallowing, for example, can be watched. This is useful for both diagnosis and therapy and o…
Angioplasty, also known as balloon angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, is a minimally invasive, endovascular procedure to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins, typically to treat arterial atherosclerosis. A deflated balloon attached to a catheter is passe…
The ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 4A023NZ, Catheterization, Heart B2151ZZ, Fluoroscopy, Heart, Left B2111ZZ, Fluoroscopy, Artery, Coronary, Multiple 027034Z, Angioplasty, Stent 02703ZZ, Angioplasty The angiography and ventriculography procedures are completed using fluoroscopy, which can be found on table B21.
There are 2 main types of stent: bare metal (uncoated) stent. drug-eluting stent – which is coated with medication that reduces the risk of the artery becoming blocked again. Beside above, how do you code PTCA and insertion of a stent? ICD-10-PCS Procedure Coding of PTCA with Insertion of Coronary Artery Stents. 00.66 for the PTCA; 36.07 for ...
Add the ICD-10-CM code for the underlying disorder (cause) for ICD-10-CM codes I25.82 (chronic total occlusion of coronary artery) and I31.4 (cardiac tamponade). The CPT code(s) for the cardiac catheterization procedure(s), coronary angiography, and injection procedure(s) should be linked to the appropriate ICD-10-CM diagnosis code(s) that describes the indication for the …
ICD-10-CM codes that support medical necessity for Right Heart Catherization: CPT codes 93451, 93453, 93456, 93457, 93460, 93461. Group 1 Codes
ICD-10 code Z95. 5 for Presence of coronary angioplasty implant and graft is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
CPT code 93451 – Right heart catheterization.
Percutaneous insertion of an intra-aortic balloon catheter may be coded separately when performed during the same encounter that cardiac catheterization or coronary angiography is performed.
Code 93453 includes all left heart catheterization components, including the function of the mitral valves, aortic valves, and aortic valve regurgitation. For right and left heart catheterization with coronary angiography, refer to 93460.
4A023NZThe ICD-10-PCS code assignment for this case example is: 4A023NZ, Catheterization, Heart.
Postprocedural hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure following a cardiac catheterization. I97. 630 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI, formerly known as angioplasty with stent) is a non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter (a thin flexible tube) to place a small structure called a stent to open up blood vessels in the heart that have been narrowed by plaque buildup, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
The codes describing a right heart catheterization (e.g., 93451) are used only for medically necessary diagnostic procedures. Do not report code 93503 in conjunction with other diagnostic cardiac catheterization codes.
When bifurcation lesions are treated, PCI is reported for both vessels treated, use 92928 and 92929. Each intervention may only be billed as a single procedure regardless of the number of lesions treated within that vessel.
CPT Description 93453 Combined right and left heart catheterization including intraprocedural injection(s) for left ventriculography, imaging supervision and interpretation, when performed 93452; 93454-93461 Various descriptions – see Page 2.
93460 involves a left and right heart catheterization, while 93458 involves only an LHC. 93454 does not involve a catheterization, but instead simply a closure device angiography. Make sure you don't code any closure devices separately, as they are included in this code.

This article contains coding and other guidelines that complement the local coverage determination (LCD) for Cardiac Catheterization and Coronary Angiography.
The use of an ICD-10-CM code listed below does not assure coverage of a service. The service must be reasonable and necessary in the specific case and must meet the criteria specified in the attached determination.
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.
Contractors may specify Revenue Codes to help providers identify those Revenue Codes typically used to report this service. In most instances Revenue Codes are purely advisory. Unless specified in the article, services reported under other Revenue Codes are equally subject to this coverage determination.

Abstract:#N#Cardiac catheterization is the introduction and positioning of a catheter in the heart to assess cardiac function and structure, for diagnosis, treatment planning or to assess therapy.
In ICD-9-CM the Alphabetic Index main term, Ureteroscopy, directs the coder to 56.31, ureteroscopy. Because the removal of the stone was unsuccessful no additional codes are necessary for complete coding.
Bypass procedures are coded by identifying the body part bypassed "from" and the body part bypassed "to.". The fourth character body part specifies the body part bypassed from, and the qualifier specifies the body part bypassed to. Example:
The definition for the Bypass root operation provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is "Altering the route of passage of the contents of a tubular body part." Bypass involves rerouting the contents of a body part to a downstream area of the normal route, to a similar route and body part, or to an abnormal route and dissimilar body part. The bypass root operation includes one or more anastomosis, with or without the use of a device. The range of bypass procedures includes normal routes such as those made in coronary artery bypass procedures, and abnormal routes such as those made in colostomy formation procedures.
