About 33900: Unilateral non-native pulmonary artery revascularization
Reports catheter-based revascularization of one non-native pulmonary artery on one side, distinct from treatment of an abnormal native vessel or both sides.
This code represents catheter-based treatment to restore or improve flow through one non-native pulmonary artery on one side. It is used in settings such as a cardiac catheterization laboratory when a patient needs intervention for impaired pulmonary blood flow, including in congenital heart disease care. Interventional cardiologists and other physicians performing pulmonary artery catheter procedures typically provide the service.
Select this code when the treated vessel is classified as non-native and treatment is unilateral; the medical record should identify the vessel, side, its non-native status, and the intervention performed. The bilateral non-native code and the abnormal-native-vessel codes describe different circumstances. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
