Ask a question
Surgical implantation of a ventricular assist device. This is a cardiovascular surgical procedure for the heart and pericardium. Payment rules differentiate this from paracorporeal devices and ECMO. This service may be billed with R701 if a right ventricular assist device is also inserted to support the left ventricular assist device. If replacing a device, both the removal and insertion fees are payable. A second assistant is payable without special authorization.
When the E420 trauma premium is claimed, the medical record must list the Injury Severity Score (ISS).
