We are new to billing this device. Our physician is billing on one date of service the insertion 33999, removal 33999, repositioning 33215 and repair of blood vessel 35286. He documents sucessful placement and removal, he also documents repositioning of the Impella during the PCI. He does not document repair of the blood vessel.
Are we looking at correct CPT codes? Can he bill for the insertion and removal? He states he repositioned three times during the procedure. Can he bill this also? Or is that code for repositioning after the procedure is completed? Is it standard to charge for a repair code?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Need to know ASAP.
