Summary

This policy confirms that wireless pressure sensors used during endovascular aneurysm repair are considered investigational and not covered. The policy has been in effect since 2007 with the most recent review in July 2024 showing no changes to the investigational status.

Action Required

Action needed
Billing team must deny coverage for wireless pressure sensors (CardioMEMS EndoSure, ImPressure systems) used in endovascular aneurysm repair procedures. Use CPT 37799 or appropriate ICD-10 procedure codes to document but expect denials as these devices remain investigational. Inform providers that these devices are not covered except potentially under Federal Employee Program plans where medical necessity may be assessed.
