Intermediate IR Coding: Ins and Outs of Angiography & Transcatheter Therapies
Audio Conference Recording Price: 199.00 -
SUMMARY
Coding for angiographies and transcatheter therapies is complicated and confusing for even the most seasoned interventional coders. Because of the multiple CPT-4 codes needed for each procedure, angiograms require more time and effort to code compared to other procedures. Join us for a 60-minute audio conference where you and your co-workers will discover:
- How to code multiple vascular families
- What is - and isn't - included in "comprehensive" procedure codes
- When you can and can't bill guidance separately - and why
- What exactly is "diagnostic angiography" - can it be billed separately?
-
PROGRAM BENEFITS
After this 60-minute audio conference, you and your co-workers responsible for coding interventional procedures will learn the latest rules and guidelines for coding transcatheter therapies and for angiographies performed above and below the diaphragm. Coding expert Cheryl Schad will help you capture the reimbursement you deserve without having to deal with time-consuming and frustrating denials.
