Question:

We need clarification after a TAVR is performed due to a disease. After which the surgery is performed, our team bill status post codes for the CT cardiac morphology instead of the disease that warranted the TAVR. Of course Medicare is denying the status post code TAVR. I would think if the physician has  "Severe Aortic Stenosis" under the impression/assessment that this ICD-10 code can be used. Please advise.
