Coding for aneurysm repair can be challenging, especially with new technology used during procedures. In this on-demand webinar MedAxiom’s coding experts break down endovascular aneurysm repair and open approaches. Speakers explore each approach and review specific add-on codes that may be used. The discussion also addresses bundling issues and how coding should be applied through real-world case examples.
Specific topics include:
1. Abdominal aorta with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR)/fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR).
2. Iliac aneurysm repair with iliac branch endoprosthesis (IBE).
3. Descending aorta with TEVARs and thoracic branch endoprosthesis (TBE).
4. Open approaches to the ascending/descending abdominal and iliac repairs.
