When to Use

Use R739 as the primary code for transcatheter valve implantation procedures where vascular access, imaging guidance, and valve deployment are performed.
Apply R739 when performing balloon valvuloplasty as a component of the valve implantation procedure, as it is included in the fee.

Common Pitfalls

Do not bill intraoperative imaging or interpretation codes separately, as these are explicitly included in the R739 fee.
Avoid billing E650 unless cardiopulmonary bypass is specifically required due to hybrid procedures or intraoperative complications, as it is not a routine add-on for standard R739 cases.

Billing Tips

When performing multivalvular replacement, bill the major valve at 100% and additional valves at 85% of the R739 fee to ensure correct payment adjustment.
