Question:

Hi Dr Z, I am hoping you can provide some clarity for the CPT coding for use of the Impella 2.5 VAD in the cath lab. Recommendations have included unlisted CPT 33999 (Per CPT Asst 11/2009 P10) and 92970. Can you please advise what you are recommending for coding of this expensive device? Thanks in advance!
