Embolic Protection Device and CPT 0483T

Date: May 20, 2020

Question:

During a TMVI (0483T) our physician uses a cerebral embolic protection device, and at the end of the procedure the cerebral embolic protection device is removed. He would like to bill for this, but we do not believe he can. Can we bill for the placement and removal of the cerebral embolic protection device?
