Description:-

CMS along with AMA CPT has made a number of significant changes to the coding for PV services as it relates to the Cardiology specialty coding for non-coronary procedures. Now that these changes have gone into effect, health care organizations should be monitoring and auditing their existing records to make sure they are capturing services and maximizing their reimbursements. This presentation will address coding along with billing and payments for said services and give "real" working examples for attendees to follow.

Areas Covered in the Session:-

• Capturing the 2017 Moderate Sedation Codes for Peripheral Vascular services.
• Coding for a cardiac cath and an "arch" angiogram at the same encounter.
• Coding for PV services in the office and facility setting>reimbursement discussion.
• Understanding the Carotid angiography combined codes 36221-36228.
• Carotid and Subclavian interventions and what is and what is not bundled into these procedures.
• Vertebral coding is tricky depending on intent, we will teach you the correct way to code.
• Modifiers as it relates to Peripheral Vascular procedural coding
