Hello All!

I wanted to know if anyone else has had to code or has seen skelentonized LIMA/RIMA for CABG with their providers? I'm under the impression this is a technique on the LIMA/RIMA, but I wanted to verify if there was any additional coding for this? Maybe T codes? I can't seem to find any other research regarding this.

Any comments is appreciated! :)

Thank you! Have a great day!
 
Hi kcosalter,

Skeletonization of the LIMA/RIMA is a variation of technique for harvesting the artery and would be a component of the 33533-33536 codes.
You may be able to append modifier 22 if there is significant additional time/effort documented, but otherwise it would not be billed with a separate code.
