Description About eBooks
 
Your superhighway to 400+ codes

The Interventional Radiology Coder
was our very first publication, and its still our top seller. This popular book is also the longest published and most trusted resource of its type. Why? Because it speeds you to the right interventional radiology CPT® code for any of 400-plus procedures. No need to plow through tons of text or cross reference multiple volumes. Everything you need for accurate IR coding is here in one compact, easy-to-use volume! Highlights:

  • 2013 interventional radiology codes, including new and revised choices for:
    • Diagnostic arterial imaging of the aortic arch, neck, and brain
    • Thrombolytic and non-thrombolytic infusion therapy
    • Transcatheter retrieval of intravascular foreign bodies
    • Nonvascular chest drainage procedures
  • Easy-to-follow menus of correct IR code assignments, plus tips to enhance understanding
  • Full explanations of critical issues, such as correct IR coding hierarchies for multiple diagnostic studies, angiographic and interventional procedures by body system, and diagnostic cardiac catheterization
  • Global periods and the most current payment rates for all codes listed in this book, encompassing both hospitals (APCs) and physician practices (RVUs)
  • Guidance with medically unlikely edits (MUEs) and CCI policy
  • Clinical examples throughout the book to reinforce the application of current IR codes and coding rules
AN IDEAL RESOURCE FOR: Physicians, including cardiologists, radiologists, vascular surgeons, and those specializing in pain management; as well as hospital radiology and cardiovascular departments

THE #1 REASON TO OWN THIS BOOK:
Approximately 30% of IR cases are coded inaccurately, based on our audits of hospitals and physician practices that provide these services. Besides known trouble spots such as GU and biliary procedures, coders struggle to keep up with wholesale changes to codes and new bundling requirements. With RVUs and reimbursement rates continuing to shrink, it is more imperative than ever to assign the correct codes and capture every legitimate dollar of revenue.
