For a TAVR with CPB, do I also append the Q0 modifier to the add on code

Date: Nov 20, 2018

Question:

When a patient has a TAVR procedure (i.e., 33361-62-Q0) along with CPB (i.e., 33367), do I also need to append the -Q0 modifier to the add-on code as well? Or only the primary procedure? Or should I consider the -Q1 modifier for 33367?
