Q: It appears that CMS allows for HCPCS codes such as C1730 (catheter, electrophysiology, diagnostic, other than 3D mapping [19 or fewer electrodes]) to be associated with revenue code 272 (Supplies) or 278 (Implants). I searched for documentation form CMS and found vague references to both. Do you know where we can find definitive documentation from CMS on which revenue code to associate with these HCPCS codes?
