Can anyone assist with the appropriate circumstances to bill for CPT 33975(insert Ventricular assist device extracorporeal, single ventricle)(for example,Impella), and CPT 33977(removal of Ventricular assist device).
These are normally used for ventricular assist while a patient is awaiting a heart transplant.
They are very high value codes--Is it advisable to use them for ventricular assist insert and removal, during a difficult coronary intervention but with modifier 52 for reduced services since the device does not remain in the patient? Thanks--
