Modifiers may apply in certain scenarios. Refer to current CPT coding guidelines and payer policies for modifier usage.
Medical necessity for selective coronary angiography must be documented. It is typically performed to evaluate coronary artery anatomy in patients with congenital heart disease prior to surgical or interventional procedures.
The physician performs the selective coronary angiography injection procedure during the cardiac catheterization, supervises the imaging, interprets the results, and prepares a report.
In simple words: During a cardiac catheterization for congenital heart disease, the doctor injects dye into the coronary arteries to visualize them. This code covers the injection, image review, interpretation, and report generation, and is used alongside the main procedure code.
This code describes a selective coronary angiography injection procedure performed during cardiac catheterization for congenital heart disease. It includes imaging supervision, interpretation, and a report. This is an add-on code and should be reported in addition to the primary procedure code.
Example 1: A patient with Tetralogy of Fallot undergoing cardiac catheterization requires selective coronary angiography to assess coronary artery anatomy. Code 93563 is reported with the appropriate catheterization code., A child with transposition of the great arteries undergoes cardiac catheterization, and selective coronary angiography is performed. Code 93563 is reported with the appropriate catheterization code., An infant with a ventricular septal defect is undergoing cardiac catheterization, which includes selective coronary angiography. Code 93563 is reported along with the primary procedure code.
Documentation should include details of the cardiac catheterization procedure, the selective coronary angiography injection, the imaging findings, and the physician's interpretation.
