K6581
Coronary angioplasty following angiography with fractional flow study on the same day
Inactivate
Submitted
We do not want to encourage angiography + angioplasty on the same day. It is best/appropriate practice to have an Multidisciplinary Team meeting prior to angioplasty. Consultants who do perform these on the same day can bill using the multiple procedures rule for the component codes (new code request being submitted + K4910).

K6512
Pressure wire measurement study (as sole procedure)
Inactivate
Submitted
With the introduction of the 4 new granular more specific angiography codes this then becomes a duplication. K6512 is basically angiography with pressure wire measurement; However, since you would never do this without an angiogram under the present coding system Consultants are able to bill both codes (duplication).

Narrative Change
Submitted
We would like to request different codes for femoral and radial access angiography and cardiac catheterization to reflect the different practices and allow us to appropriately manage the relevant pathways and risks.
This links with narrative change request 1012 where we have requested to add the alternative radial access
