New Codes for Long-Term Left Atrial Pressure Monitoring (0933T, 0934T)
April 2025 page 17 New Codes for Long-Term Left Atrial Pressure Monitoring (0933T, 0934T) For the CPT 2025 code set, two new Category III codes were established to report transcatheter placement (0933T) and monitoring (0934T) using a long-term, wireless left atrial pressure (LAP) sensor system. Before 2025, there were no specific codes available to report these services. The establishment of these new codes fills the coding gap to enable the reporting of long-term monitoring of cardiac function in patients with persistent symptoms of heart failure. In addition, parenthetical notes were added to further clarify when it is appropriate to...
