Interventional radiology and cardiology coding can
baffle even the most experienced coders. Developed to simplify coding
for imaging-assisted surgical services, the Complete Guide for
Interventional Radiology (and cardiology) is a resource that provides
specific direction for coding complex radiology and cardiology
procedures with guidelines and references for both physicians and
facility-based institutions. Includes diagrams and colored images.
Key features and benefits
ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT® and HCPCS Level II
information specific to interventional radiology and cardiology.
Save time by reviewing only the code sets related to
interventional procedures.
Current coding and billing regulations. Make the
appropriate code selection for interventional procedures with the
most up-to-date information, codes, reimbursement guidance and
tips.
Additional anatomical diagrams added. Provides a better
understanding of the medical procedures referenced by the codes and
data. The graphics offer coders a visual link between the technical
language of the operative report and the cryptic descriptions
accompanying the codes. Medicare Correct Coding Initiative (CCI)
edits. Reduce the risk of audits and spend less time correcting
claims by identifying which coding combinations cannot be billed
together.
Case examples. Learn through real-world scenarios of
interventional procedures based on common methods of practice.
Reportable codes are indicated to illustrate code selection based
on documentation for both the physician and the facility.
