AXERA access device
Date: Aug 6, 2012
Question:
I’m just wondering if you might have any information on coding for the AXERA access device. The company says they have no reimbursement code at this time and that many places are using regular closure codes to show that a device was used. (G0269 with C1760)
In your travels, emails, etc – have you come across this device or questions about the device? It’s actually an access device for your arterial stick that makes manual pressure hemostasis easier and quicker – so I would have an issue using G0269 myself.
We are trying to determine if there is a way to offset the cost of the device before bringing it into our lab.
Thanks so much for your time and any assistance you can give me,
