AHA Coding Clinic® for HCPCS - 2022 Issue 1; For Your Information

Update to the device offset from payment

Published in the For Your Information section of the Fourth Quarter 2021 issue of Coding Clinic for HCPCS, it was noted that HCPCS Level II code C1831 should always be reported with one of the primary Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes 22558 and 22586. This information is no longer valid. Hospitals can no longer bill C1831 when performing 22558 and 22586 as these procedures have been added to the Inpatient Only List effective January 1, 2022. The most current information related to pass through devices can be found on the CMS website at:https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/HospitalOutpatientPPS/passthrough_payment ...
