Frequently asked questions

Generally, no. Under Medicare OPPS, it is typically a packaged code, meaning its cost is included in the payment for the primary surgical procedure (e.g., a cardiac catheterization) and does not receive separate reimbursement.

HCPCS code C1760 identifies the device itself (the vascular closure device). The CPT code describes the procedure (the service performed by the physician and hospital) where the device was used, such as an angiography.

It is classified as an insertable device by some sources, as it is used during the procedure, and the core of the device may be removed. However, the mechanism that closes the vessel is often left behind (e.g., suture or collagen plug), qualifying it for this category.
