93750 code description - Interrogation of ventricular assist device (VAD), in person, with physician or other qualified health care professional analysis of device parameters (eg, drivelines, alarms, power surges), review of device function (eg, flow and volume status, septum status, recovery), with programming, if performed, and report
Components that must be evaluated include:
• Device parameters (e.g., alarms, drivelines, clots, infection, overall assessment of augmenting cardiac output, and power surges)
• Device function (flow/volume status, septum status, and recovery)
All of the above must be stated in detail, either in its own procedure note (if management is part of the daily rounding) or in its own paragraph (separate from the rounding note, if performed during rounding). Adjustments may not be needed each day, but each entry must support assessing the potential need.
Phys documented - VAD setting reviewed: flow: 4.1, speed 9600, power: 5.5, PI: 2.5
Is this enough?
