What is cpt code 9083X?

CPT code 9083X is a Category III code for "Unlisted surgical procedure, cardiovascular system." It is used to report a surgical procedure that is not specifically described by another CPT code.

This code is typically used for new or rarely performed procedures that have not yet been assigned a specific CPT code. It is important to note that CPT codes are updated annually, so new procedures may be added to the list of specific codes in the future.

When using CPT code 9083X, it is important to provide a detailed description of the procedure performed in the medical record. This information should include the following:

* The name of the procedure

* The anatomical location of the procedure

* The type of anesthesia used

* The surgical approach used

* The specific steps of the procedure

* Any complications that occurred during the procedure

Providing a detailed description of the procedure will help ensure that the claim is processed correctly and that the patient receives the appropriate reimbursement for the services performed.
