There is a new code for left atrial appendage closure (LAAC):
33340 – Percutaneous transcatheter closure of the left atrial appendage with endocardial implant, including fluoroscopy, transseptal puncture, catheter placement (s), left atrial appendage angiography, when performed, and radiological supervision and interpretation
Do not report with 93462 for transseptal puncture.
Do not report with a left heart catheterization unless access to the left ventricle is performed by a non-transseptal approach for unrelated reasons.
Do not report with a right heart catheterization unless for unrelated reasons.
Former Category III code 0281T has been deleted.
