On Demand: Cardiothoracic Series 1: Coding for Adult Heart & Valve Procedures

Description

This session is the first of two in a series on cardiothoracic surgery procedures. MedAxiom Revenue Cycle Solutions experts cover open valve and heart procedures. Speakers discuss the basics of cardiovascular anatomy, coding multiple complex procedures, bundling/unbundling issues, what to look for in the documentation, and tips for proper documentation. They also use real-world case studies to break down the appropriate coding. In particular, we take an in-depth look at coding for valve procedures (aortic, mitral and tricuspid repairs and replacements) and heart procedures (pericardial, coronary artery bypass and septal defects).
