Structural heart intervention
About 93580: Transcatheter atrial septal defect closure
Reports catheter-based device closure of an atrial septal defect or other congenital interatrial communication in a cardiac catheterization setting.
This service closes an atrial septal defect or another congenital communication between the atria by delivering an occlusion device through a catheter. It is commonly performed for a suitably selected secundum ASD by an interventional cardiologist or congenital heart specialist in a cardiac catheterization laboratory, with imaging used to guide device placement and assess the result.
Report the code for the transcatheter closure service, supported by documentation of the defect or communication, its clinical indication and anatomy, device deployment, and the completion assessment. The procedure has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

93580 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from 93581?
93580 is for catheter-based closure of an interatrial communication, such as an ASD. 93581 describes closure of a ventricular septal defect.
Is this code reported for each closure device?
The code represents the transcatheter closure service, not a separate line for each device. Document the defect treated and the device deployment; do not infer units from the number of devices.
Can modifier 50 be used?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for the anatomy and service.
How does the multiple procedure rule affect same-session services?
When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is allowed only when medical necessity is documented. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
