Program:
Diagnostic Neurointerventional Coding: Building a Foundation
May 14, 2024, 2:30-4:00 p.m. ET: Presented by Jenn Bash
Understanding the anatomy and basic coding concepts of neurointerventional angiography is an essential skill for any interventional coder. In this session, we will cover anatomy, catheter selectivity, diagnostic imaging, and specific coding guidelines for the cervicocerebral vasculature, which is a foundational building block for more complex neurointerventional coding.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand the clinical indications for cervicocerebral IR procedures
- Gain knowledge of the cervicocerebral vascular anatomy and territories for coding purposes
- Recognize different types of procedures, catheter selectivity and apply various coding guidelines for case studies
Mastering Complexity in Neurointerventional Coding: Navigating Advanced Cases with Confidence
May 16, 2024, 2:30-4:00 p.m. ET: Presented by Karna Morrow
It’s all in your head! The phrase may be tongue-in-cheek, but coding those “head cases” (neuro IR) can be intimidating. With separate rules for these interventions that bundle procedures by vascular territory and require combination codes for angiograms cases can be accurately coded with just a few key points. This session will help remove the fear of coding neuro IR treatments by helping the participant.
Learning Outcomes:
- Identify the decision points for the common interventions to ensure accurate coding.
- Apply the current coding guidelines to live reports.
- Answer the physician’s question, “What should I say?”
Deep Dive into Dialysis Circuit Interventions
May 21, 2024, 2:30-4:00 p.m. ET: Presented by Jenny Studdard
Embark on an in-depth exploration of the intricate world of dialysis circuit interventions in this comprehensive session. Designed for coding professionals seeking to enhance their expertise, this session offers a thorough examination of the coding rules and guidelines specific to dialysis circuit procedures. Participants will gain valuable insights and hands-on experience.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn the coding rules and guidelines for coding dialysis circuit procedures
- Apply these coding rules and regulations to case studies provided
- Identify documentation challenges and opportunities for provider feedback
Mastering Embolization Procedure Coding: Expert Insights and Key Strategies
May 28, 2024, 2:30-4:00 p.m. ET: Presented by Stacie Buck
Interventional radiology procedures, known for their complexity, often present significant challenges in coding, revealing a high frequency of coding errors during audits. Embolization procedures, in particular, are prone to miscoding due to the myriad of coding rules and documentation required. In this session, join Stacie L. Buck, RHIA, CCS-P, CPCO, CCC, CIRCC, RCC, RCCIR, a seasoned expert in interventional radiology coding, as she guides you through embolization case studies and providing invaluable insights on pinpointing key elements in operative reports that are essential for accurately documenting every facet of these intricate procedures.
Learning outcomes:
- Decode the complexities of embolization coding, understanding specific rules and common errors.
- Analyze embolization case studies to apply coding principles effectively and accurately.
- Extract critical elements from operative reports to ensure precise documentation of embolization procedures.
