Repositioning A Temporary Heart Pump

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 33993

Moves a temporary pump sitting inside the heart back into the right position after it has shifted, using imaging to guide it, at a session separate from the one in which it was placed. Position matters because the pump must draw blood from one chamber and deliver it into the artery beyond. Adjusting it avoids having to remove and replace the whole device.
