Article Overview
This Ask the Expert article discusses what is generally bundled into percutaneous atrial septal defect repair and what related cardiac imaging services may be considered separately reportable under CPT. It is aimed at cardiology, congenital heart, and interventional coding professionals who need a high-level understanding of how the procedure is framed in coding guidance.
Why This Topic Matters
Atrial septal defect repair often involves multiple catheter-based and imaging components, so understanding the article helps coders recognize which related services are discussed as part of the procedure and which ancillary studies are addressed separately in coding guidance.
