Carotid and vertebrobasilar artery stenting, with or without embolic protection device
When to Use
- Use N132 for the primary procedure of carotid or vertebrobasilar stenting, as it is a comprehensive fee that encompasses all necessary components of the intervention.
- Select N132 when performing stenting with embolic protection devices, as the fee is inclusive of the device placement and does not require additional billing for the protection hardware.
Common Pitfalls
- Do not bill selective catheterization codes (e.g., Z500 series) separately, as these are explicitly included in the N132 fee structure.
- Avoid billing for intraoperative fluoroscopy or imaging as separate services, as these are considered bundled elements of the N132 procedure.
- Do not attempt to bill pre- or post-dilatation angioplasty as separate procedures, as these are considered integral to the stenting process under N132.
Billing Tips
- Ensure that the claim reflects the comprehensive nature of the procedure; any attempt to unbundle components like vascular access or imaging will result in automatic rejection or audit recovery.
