Cardiovascular procedure

About 0597T: Temporary femoral intravascular pump replacement

Reports replacement of a temporary femoral intravascular valve-pump during a procedural encounter, rather than its initial placement.

This Category III service represents replacing a temporary intravascular valve-pump introduced through femoral access. It is a device procedure performed by a physician involved in cardiovascular or endovascular intervention, typically in a procedural setting. The replacement is distinct from the device’s initial insertion and should be supported by documentation identifying the existing pump and the exchange performed.

Report 0597T when the documented service is replacement, not first insertion. The record should describe the reason for the exchange, the device and access site, and the procedural work. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. The code is not a bilateral service, so modifier 50 is not appropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

0597T billing questions

How is 0597T different from 0596T?

0596T describes the first insertion of the temporary femoral intravascular valve-pump. Use 0597T when the documented procedure replaces an existing pump.

Should modifier 50 be reported for replacement on both sides?

No. This code describes a procedure that is not reported as a bilateral service, so modifier 50 is inappropriate.

How does the 0-day global period affect same-day care?

Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the procedure’s 0-day global period.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be billed?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What should the procedure note document?

Identify the temporary pump already in place, the femoral access site, and the replacement performed. Document the reason for the exchange and the device involved.
