Baylis wire perforation for pulmonary atresia treatment -22 modifier

Date: Sep 8, 2011

Question:

HI Dr. Z, thanks for the opportunity to be able to ask coding questions. I have a question regarding the coding of a "radiofrequency perforation of the pulmonary valve via a Baylis wire" just prior to pulmonary valvuloplasty, 92990, for a 3 day old infant with pulmonary valve atresia. Would the radiofrequency perforation be separately billable? If so, would you suggest 93799? Thanks for your help!
