Circulatory Assistance Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve taking over a portion of circulatory physiological function by extracorporeal means, providing pulsatile circulatory assistance to the physiological systems. These interventions target the circulatory system and are coded when assistance is provided rather than repair or replacement. Accurate coding of these extracorporeal assistance procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it captures the level of support provided and ensures appropriate case mix and payment.
