Laureen: Q: “In reference to the CPC Blitz Medicine Video covering Cardiac Caths for congenital defects, I understand they are coded in 3 parts – cath, injection and imaging. However in the video, and in the guidelines, I am confused as how to code for the imaging. Is it 93567 - add-on code for supravalvular aortography or is it coded from the radiology section. Also, could you point out where in the guidelines or parenthetical notes it directs us to code the imaging? It seems so vague, I must be missing something!”

A: OK! No, you’re not missing anything, it is truly a bit confusing and it took me a while when you teach the same thing every year, like you go through the CPT manual several times every year, and then they go and change it majorly. It makes it so hard because you want to go into how you’ve always taught it, you have to go, “Wait a minute, let me put the brakes on and re-think that.” So, cardiac caths used to always be reported in pieces, and if you think about what the cardiac cath is, it’s a diagnostic test where they’re threading the catheter through the vessels near the heart to inject dye in order to take a picture, to get a good image to see what is going on so that they can diagnose the problem.

With cardiac catheters—right, left, or both—there are additional procedures including coronary angiography and left ventriculography, which are coded separately.
