Summary & Overview
CPT 3319F: Cardiovascular Performance Measure
CPT code 3319F is a coded clinical measure used in cardiovascular care; the input description indicates no summary is available. As a CPT Category II–style formatted code number, it is used to denote a specific performance or clinical finding relevant to quality measurement or reporting in cardiovascular services. Nationally, such codes matter because they standardize documentation for quality assessment, support value-based payment models, and influence reporting requirements across payers.
Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find an overview of the code’s clinical context, the expected service setting where this type of measure is typically captured, and what information is missing from the input. The publication also outlines the types of benchmarks and policy updates typically associated with CPT performance-measure codes, and highlights the clinical contexts in which cardiovascular performance measures are relevant.

Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A typical patient is an adult with symptomatic heart valve disease or advanced cardiomyopathy being evaluated for transcatheter device therapy following multidisciplinary Heart Team review. The patient presents to a tertiary care hospital for a planned transcatheter structural heart intervention. Pre-procedure workflow includes cardiology and cardiac surgery consultation, informed consent, baseline labs, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, coronary angiography if indicated, and anesthesia assessment. On the day of service the patient is brought to a cardiac catheterization laboratory or hybrid operating room; vascular access is obtained (typically femoral), advanced imaging and hemodynamic assessments are performed, and the transcatheter device is positioned and deployed under fluoroscopic and echocardiographic guidance. Post-deployment evaluation confirms device position and function; patients are transferred to a monitored post-anesthesia care unit or cardiac ICU for observation and recovery, with follow-up echocardiography and clinic visits scheduled.
Coding Specifications
| Modifier | Description | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
25 | Significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician on the day of a procedure | Use when a distinct E/M visit is performed the same day as the transcatheter procedure and is documented separately. |
| 26 | Professional component | Use when reporting only the physician component of a service that has professional and technical components (rare for device implantation CPTs but applicable to associated imaging interpretation).
