Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · 01926 nationwide

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 01926 covers

This service supports therapeutic catheter-based procedures directed at intracranial vessels, structures within the heart, or the aorta. Typical cases include endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms or other intracranial vascular lesions, intracardiac interventions, and endovascular aortic treatment. An anesthesiologist or CRNA reports the anesthesia service in the procedural facility; the interventional radiologist, neurointerventionalist, cardiologist, or vascular specialist reports the treatment itself.

Choose 01926 for therapeutic interventions involving one of these specified regions, rather than an arterial procedure not otherwise specified or a diagnostic arteriography study. The anesthesia record should identify the intervention, show the patient's preparation and recovery handoff, and document anesthesia start and end times; the operative report should establish the treated site and therapeutic purpose. This code has 8 base units; Medicare payment is (base units + time units) multiplied by the locality's anesthesia conversion factor. Time is recorded in minutes and converted to 15-minute units to one decimal place, from preparation for anesthesia until the practitioner is no longer in personal attendance and the patient can safely enter postoperative care.
