2016 Procedural Reimbursement Guide Select Percutaneous Coronary Interventions This Procedural Payment Guide for interventional cardiology procedures provides coding and reimbursement information for physicians and healthcare facilities. The codes included in this guide are intended to represent typical interventional cardiology procedures where there is: 1) at least one product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the listed procedure; and 2) specific procedural coding guidance provided by a recognized coding or reimbursement authority such as the American Medical Association (AMA) or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This guide is in no way intended to promote the off label use of medical devices. Please note that while these materials are intended to provide coding information for a range of interventional cardiology procedures, the FDA approved/cleared labeling for all products may not be consistent with all uses described in these materials. Some payers, including some Medicare contractors, may treat a procedure which is not specifically covered by a product s FDA approved labeling as a non covered service. The Medicare reimbursement amounts shown are currently published national average payments. Actual reimbursement will vary for each provider and institution for a variety of reasons including geographic differences in labor and non labor costs, hospital teaching status, proportion of low income patients, coverage, and/or payment rules. Please feel free to contact the Boston Scientific reimbursement department at 1 800 CARDIAC if you have any questions about the information in these materials. You can also find reimbursement updates on our website, www.bostonscientific.com/reimbursement Billing and Payment: Medicare and most other insurers typically reimburse physicians based on fee schedules tied to Current Procedural Terminology 1 (CPT ) codes. CPT codes are published by the AMA and used to report medical services and procedures performed by or under the direction of physicians. payment for procedures performed in an outpatient or inpatient hospital or Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) setting is described as an in facility fee payment (listed as In in document) while payment for procedures performed in the physician office is described as an in office payment. In facility payments reflect modifier 26 as applicable. Billing and Payment: Medicare reimburses hospitals for outpatient stays (typically stays that do not span 2 midnights) under Ambulatory Payment Classification () groups. Medicare assigns an to a procedure based on the billed CPT/HCPCS (Healthcare Common Procedural Coding System) code. (Note that private insurers may require other procedure codes for outpatient payment.) While it is possible that separate payments may be deemed appropriate where more than one procedure is done during the same outpatient visit, many s are subject to reduced payment when multiple procedures are performed on the same day. Comprehensive s (J1 status indicator) can impact total payment received for outpatient services. Billing and Payment: Medicare reimburses hospital inpatient procedures based on the Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group (MS DRG). The MS DRG is a system of classifying patients based on their diagnoses and the procedures performed during their hospital stay. MS DRGs closely calibrate payment to the severity of a patient s illness. One single MS DRG payment is intended to cover all hospital costs associated with treating an individual during his or her hospital stay, with the exception of professional (e.g., physician) charges associated with performing medical procedures. Private payers may also use MS DRG based systems or other payer specific system to pay hospitals for providing inpatient services. : Potential procedure codes are included within this guide. Due to the number of potential codes within the system, the codes included in this document do not fully account for all procedure code options. Some codes outlined in this guide include an " _" symbol. For example, 027_34Z is listed as a potential code for reporting a coronary drug eluting stent procedure. In this example, the "_" character could be 0, 1, 2 or 3, depending on the number of sites treated. The "_" symbol is not a recognized character within the system. ASC Billing and Payment: Many elective procedures are performed outside of the hospital in Medicare certified facilities also known as Ambulatory Surgical Centers (ASCs). Not all procedures that Medicare covers in the hospital setting are eligible for payment in an ASC. Medicare has a list of all services (as defined by CPT/HCPCs codes), generally nonsurgical, that it covers when offered in an ASC. ASC allowed procedures can be found at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/ascpayment/. Payments made to ASCs from private insurers depend on the contract the facility has with the payer.

Category C Code Reference Guide 2016 Interventional Cardiology Quarterly updates can be found on the Medicare website (http://www.cms.hhs.gov/pps/). Background: C Codes are used for hospital outpatient device reporting for Medicare and some private payers. A limited number of C Codes are eligible for additional pass through payment from Medicare for the associated device. Device dependent s may be denied without applicable C Codes. C Codes are VERY important to future reimbursement. Use of all applicable C Codes on a claim allows identification of device(s) utilized in a procedure and may affect future payment rates.
