C9741

Date: Nov 4, 2014

Question:

I received this new code in an October 2014 OPPS new service update from Med Assets. Will this new C-code (C9741) go with the existing right heart CPT codes (93530, 93460, etc.), or will it have one of its own (primary or add-on)? Or is this a stand-alone code? I thought that C-codes were only on supplies and sometimes needed in conjunction with a CPT code. I am personally very confused about this new code. Any clarification that you can offer in regards to this would be much appreciated.
