Official Description

Assistive algorithmic electrocardiogram risk-based assessment for cardiac dysfunction (eg, low-ejection fraction, pulmonary hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy); related to concurrently performed electrocardiogram (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)

Common Language Description

The CPT® Code 0764T refers to an assistive algorithmic electrocardiogram (ECG) risk-based assessment specifically designed to evaluate cardiac dysfunction. This assessment utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI) software to analyze ECG data for potential heart conditions, such as low ejection fraction, pulmonary hypertension, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The procedure is performed in conjunction with a standard 12-lead ECG, which is a common diagnostic tool used to monitor the heart's electrical activity. The AI software can either be applied in real-time during the ECG tracing or on previously recorded and digitally archived ECG waveforms. Once the analysis is complete, the software generates a comprehensive report detailing any identified risks or abnormalities, all without the need for direct input from a physician or qualified healthcare provider. This innovative approach enhances the efficiency of cardiac assessments and aids in the early detection of significant heart issues, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes.

1. Indications

The assistive algorithmic electrocardiogram risk-based assessment is indicated for the evaluation of various cardiac dysfunctions. The specific conditions for which this procedure is performed include:

  • Low Ejection Fraction This condition indicates that the heart is not pumping blood effectively, which can lead to heart failure and other serious complications.
  • Pulmonary Hypertension A condition characterized by elevated blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries, which can strain the heart and lead to heart failure.
  • Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy A genetic condition where the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, potentially leading to obstructed blood flow and arrhythmias.

2. Procedure

The procedure for the assistive algorithmic electrocardiogram risk-based assessment involves several key steps that ensure accurate evaluation of cardiac function. First, a standard 12-lead ECG is performed, which captures the electrical activity of the heart from multiple angles. This ECG can be conducted in real-time or can utilize previously recorded ECG data that has been digitally archived. Once the ECG is obtained, the AI software is activated to analyze the waveform data. The software employs sophisticated algorithms to detect any abnormalities or risk factors associated with cardiac dysfunction. After the analysis is complete, the software automatically generates a detailed report outlining the findings, including any identified risks related to low ejection fraction, pulmonary hypertension, or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This report is produced without requiring any manual input from a physician or qualified healthcare provider, streamlining the assessment process and allowing for timely clinical decision-making.

3. Post-Procedure

Post-procedure care following the assistive algorithmic electrocardiogram risk-based assessment typically involves reviewing the generated report with the patient. Healthcare providers may discuss the findings and any necessary follow-up actions based on the identified risks. Depending on the results, further diagnostic testing or treatment options may be recommended to address any detected cardiac dysfunction. It is essential for healthcare professionals to ensure that patients understand the implications of the assessment and the importance of ongoing monitoring and management of their cardiac health.

76 Repeat procedure or service by same physician or other qualified health care professional: it may be necessary to indicate that a procedure or service was repeated by the same physician or other qualified health care professional subsequent to the original procedure or service. this circumstance may be reported by adding modifier 76 to the repeated procedure or service. note: this modifier should not be appended to an e/m service.
Q1 Routine clinical service provided in a clinical research study that is in an approved clinical research study
59 Distinct procedural service: under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to indicate that a procedure or service was distinct or independent from other non-e/m services performed on the same day. modifier 59 is used to identify procedures/services, other than e/m services, that are not normally reported together, but are appropriate under the circumstances. documentation must support a different session, different procedure or surgery, different site or organ system, separate incision/excision, separate lesion, or separate injury (or area of injury in extensive injuries) not ordinarily encountered or performed on the same day by the same individual. however, when another already established modifier is appropriate it should be used rather than modifier 59. only if no more descriptive modifier is available, and the use of modifier 59 best explains the circumstances, should modifier 59 be used. note: modifier 59 should not be appended to an e/m service. to report a separate and distinct e/m service with a non-e/m service performed on the same date, see modifier 25.
77 Repeat procedure by another physician or other qualified health care professional: it may be necessary to indicate that a basic procedure or service was repeated by another physician or other qualified health care professional subsequent to the original procedure or service. this circumstance may be reported by adding modifier 77 to the repeated procedure or service. note: this modifier should not be appended to an e/m service.
