1220 - Sequence # 5004 | Pulmonary Valvuloplasty-1220 - Sequence # 5004

Video Transcription

This is the IMPACT Registry December 2020 case scenario reviewing Sequence 5004 pulmonary valvuloplasty. We have a 6-year-old male with a history of TPVR with Melody valve.  He presents with moderate obstruction and undergoes balloon dilation of the non-native valve. Would this procedure be captured as a pulmonary valvuloplasty in Sequence 5004?  No or yes? Please take a moment to review the documentation and the question.  In the given scenario, Sequence 5004 pulmonary valvuloplasty would be coded no. Primary IMPACT procedures are for native valves.  For this scenario, the primary IMPACT procedure would be coded as Sequence 5000 diagnostic cath and the balloon dilation would be coded in Sequence 5010 specific procedures.  Thank you for viewing the IMPACT Registry monthly case scenario for December 2020.
