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

What 93591 covers

An interventional cardiologist uses a catheter to deliver a closure device to a paravalvular leak around an aortic valve, often a prosthetic valve. The procedure is generally performed in a hospital catheterization or hybrid laboratory, with imaging used to guide device placement. Patients may have symptoms or complications such as heart failure or hemolysis related to the leak.

Select this code when the treated leak is around the aortic valve; a mitral paravalvular leak is reported with 93590. Document the valve involved, leak location and clinical indication, and the catheter-based closure performed. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires medical-necessity documentation; co-surgeons are permitted, and team surgery requires supporting documentation.
