Penumbra Cat Rx
Date: Nov 2, 2022
Question:
We have physicians dictating that a coronary mechanical thrombectomy was performed using a Penumbra Cat Rx catheter. The department wishes to charge 92973 for the procedure. Would this be an appropriate charge? Or is the Penumbra Cat Rx catheter considered an aspiration catheter and the procedure is inherent?
