New C-code Effective April 1st (C2623)

New HCPCS code C2623, Catheter, transluminal angioplasty, drug-coated, non-laser, will be effective April 1, 2015.

Code C2623 is a “pass-through” code and will receive additional payment from Medicare when billed. Hospital charge description masters should be updated with this code on April 1, 2015. These catheters can cost over $2,000, so it is important for the facility to receive the additional reimbursement when these specialty catheters are used.
