Frequently asked questions
Does Medicare cover I77.2 (Rupture of artery)?
Medicare covers items and services, not diagnoses. 7 Medicare billing and coding articles list I77.2 as a covered diagnosis for 25 HCPCS Level II codes: the diagnosis can support medical necessity for those codes, but payment still depends on the LCD's coverage criteria and the medical record.
Which HCPCS codes can be billed with ICD-10 I77.2?
The Level II codes from the policies most specific to this diagnosis are C8900 (Magnetic resonance angiography with contrast, abdomen, 3 articles); C8901 (Magnetic resonance angiography without contrast, abdomen, 3 articles); C8902 (Magnetic resonance angiography without contrast followed…, 3 articles); C8909 (Magnetic resonance angiography with contrast, chest…, 3 articles); C8910 (Magnetic resonance angiography without contrast, chest…, 3 articles). Code choice depends on the item supplied; check each code's descriptor.
Which Medicare policy articles list I77.2?
A56809 (Billing and Coding: Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE)); A56632 (Billing and Coding: Colonoscopy/Sigmoidoscopy/Proctosigmoidoscopy); A56389 (Billing and Coding: Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Visualization), and 4 more articles.
