lüll Current procedural terminology coding in electrophysiology: focus on 2009 updates Undavia MJ Invasive Cardiol 2009[May]; 21 (5): 244-6This article highlights the major changes in the current procedural terminology codes (CPT codes) that were announced by the American Medical Association in January 2009. These new CPT codes were developed to more accurately reflect current cardiac device monitoring capabilities, long-distance telemetry and remote interrogation as well as follow-up practices. Some of these new code sets are structured differently than the CPT codes that they replace. Specifically, the new codes for remote monitoring do not have separate professional (-26) and technical components (-TC) applied to an individual code. Instead, the new remote monitoring codes have separate CPT codes that represent the professional and technical components. The new device programming codes are generally defined by the number of leads, rather than the type of generator. Also, the period of time included in the specific type of service is indicated as per encounter, 30 or 90 days. Furthermore, two new periprocedural device evaluation and programming codes have been introduced.|*Current Procedural Terminology[MESH]|*Electrophysiologic Techniques, Cardiac[MESH]|Blood Pressure Monitoring, Ambulatory[MESH]|Cardiography, Impedance[MESH]|Defibrillators, Implantable[MESH]|Electrocardiography, Ambulatory[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Pacemaker, Artificial[MESH]|Software[MESH]|Telemetry[MESH]|United States[MESH] |
