Cardiovascular Essentials for Coders-Video for Coronary Angiogram and Interventional CPT Coding

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript is from a cardiovascular coding education series presented by Jolene Bruder, a manager for Revenue Cycle Solutions and Coding at MedAxium. In this session, she covers coronary angiography and interventional CPT coding, emphasizing the need for accurate and detailed documentation to support correct coding. Jolene highlights the importance of differentiating between acute MI, chronic total occlusion, and bypass graft procedures in determining the appropriate codes. She also discusses the use of modifiers, such as modifier 22 for complex procedures, and provides guidance on coding moderate sedation during cardiovascular interventions. Jolene advises thorough documentation of patient history, sedation start and end times, and monitoring during procedures for accurate billing. The session stresses the significance of following coding guidelines for cardiovascular procedures to ensure proper reimbursement and compliance. For further assistance, viewers are encouraged to reach out to Revenue Cycle Solutions at MedAxium for expert guidance.
