CPT code 92987 represents percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty, a catheter-based procedure to open a stenotic mitral valve and improve blood flow. This structural heart intervention is clinically important for patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis who are candidates for a less invasive alternative to surgical valve repair or replacement. Nationally, the code is relevant for hospitals, cardiac centers, and payers managing complex cardiac procedural episodes and post-procedure care.

Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of clinical context for the procedure, typical sites of service, and the procedural description tied to CPT code 92987. The publication also outlines common billing considerations, lists frequently used modifiers provided in the input, and summarizes where data is available or missing.

The report provides practical benchmarks and policy-relevant points for coding and coverage discussions, clinical settings where the procedure is performed, and payer coverage patterns when available. Data not available in the input (such as associated taxonomies, ICD-10 diagnosis mappings, related codes, and service-line cost benchmarks) are noted as missing elsewhere in the publication rather than here. This national-level summary is intended to inform billing teams, clinical coders, and policy analysts about the clinical meaning and administrative context of CPT code 92987.
