`I25.719`, Atherosclerosis of autologous vein coronary artery bypass graft(s) with unspecified angina pectoris

ICD-10-CM

Prior Authorization

No Prior Auth Required

Covered without prior authorization (high confidence)

Documentation Required

The patient's medical record must fully document medical necessity for the cardiac catheterization and support the diagnosis and procedures billed.
Each claim must include ICD-10-CM diagnosis code(s) that accurately reflect the patient's condition and reason for the procedure and these codes must be linked to the CPT procedure codes on the claim.
When a referring/ordering physician is required, the name and NPI of the referring/ordering physician must be reported on the claim; for extra-cardiac angiographic services the treating physician's name and NPI must be submitted in items 17/17a of CMS-1500 or electronic equivalent.

Key Coverage Criteria

Medicare Part B covers the professional component of cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography when performed in hospital inpatient and outpatient facility settings.
Diagnostic cardiac catheterization performed in an office setting (where permitted) is covered under Medicare Part B for both professional and technical components.
Global and technical component procedures are covered under Part B when performed under personal physician supervision in an IDTF, free-standing facility, physician office, or physician-directed clinic (physician present in room for entire procedure).
Cardiac CT (CCT) or Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) is covered when the patient's medical record documents medical necessity consistent with the indications and limitations set forth in the attached Local Coverage Determination (LCD).
If a single lesion extends from one target vessel into another but can be revascularized with a single bridging intervention, report it with a single code (CPT 92928).
CPT codes 92920-92944 describe percutaneous revascularization (PCI) for occlusive disease of coronary vessels, including major coronary arteries, coronary artery branches, and coronary artery bypass grafts.
