CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION CPT CODE
Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that
allows the doctor to see how well your blood
vessels supply your heart. This process is used
to diagnose and treat certain cardiovascular
conditions. During this procedure, a catheter
(long thin tube) is inserted in an artery or vein
in your groin, neck, or arm and threaded through
your blood vessels to your heart. The Current
Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes play a crucial
role in documenting and billing for these
procedures, making them an essential part of the
CPT codes cardiology. CPT codes for cardiac
catheterization procedures, ranging
from 93451 to 93598, encompass a wide range of
services specifically designed for
cardiology. These codes cover different aspects
of cardiac catheterization procedures, including
the placement and positioning of catheters in
various cardiac chambers, imaging studies such as
angiography to visualize the coronary arteries,
measurement of pressures within the heart and
blood vessels, evaluation of cardiac function,
assessment of valvular abnormalities, and
intervention procedures like angioplasty and
stenting. By utilizing these specific CPT codes,
cardiology practitioners ensure accurate
reporting and reimbursement for the cardiac
catheterization procedures they perform. Lets
look at the technical component is covered under
