Description
With increasing advances in catheter-based therapies on the heart and coronary arteries, it becomes more difficult to figure out which procedures are being performed and how to code for them. In this webinar, we will start with a simple primer on heart and coronary anatomy and then discuss cardiac catheterizations and percutaneous coronary interventions. The experience will be capped off with a walk through case studies where we will apply guidelines and other official advice to code cases.
Objectives:
- Differentiate between coronary artery imaging and imaging of heart chambers
- Determine PCS values for different types of contrast material
- Select device values for angioplasty and coronary stents
- Apply codes to case studies
