Aneurysm sac sensors / cardiomems

Date: Aug 24, 2011

Question:

Hi Dr. Z., We have a question regarding aneurysm sac sensors/cardiomems. A patient came in 2010 for an abdominal aortic endograft. The doctor also implanted a sensor (34806). Now he comes back into IVR, and the doctor measures the pressures using the previously implanted sensor and inserts a Palmaz stent. Can we charge 93982, or this code is to be used exclusively when performed in an office setting? Thanks for all your help!
