Wiki Perfusionists billing 99190 - 99192

Can anyone help me with coding and billing guidelines for perfusionists?

CPT codes 99190-99192, along with the accompanying services, cell saver/salvage, platelet gel etc. Including frequent or required modifiers.

Services would fall under the facilities reimbursement. Technicians doesn't meet provider type requirement under any payer I'm aware of.

I appreciate your input.

I know that perfusionists do bill to commercial carriers rather than getting reimbursement from the hospital for services. However, the ones I have contacted contract out their billing and they are tight lipped about any resources or guidelines.

Do perfusionist fees fall under a technical component when billed on a facility claim? Should it be billed with a TC modifier or no?
