Description About eBooks
 
A one-of-a-kind book for a year of huge change

For 2013, more than ever, you need our Peripheral & Cardiology Coder book. The reason is simple: 2013 brings the biggest change in cardiology coding since 1996. Count on our experts to guide you through all the code changes for stenting, angioplasty, atherectomy, and more, including multiple procedures. As always, this resource covers the many ins and outs of coding for both physician and outpatient facility cardiology coding which is still a MedLearn Publishing exclusive! Highlights:

  • Details on the major changes to cardiology coding for 2013, including 22 new codes and eight deleted codes for coronary interventions
  • Coding instructions for invasive diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures: cardiac, renal, and peripheral
  • How to code for conscious sedation, along with time-based calculations
  • Coding and charging for various types of contrast used during diagnostic cardiology and/or interventional radiology procedures
  • Case studies encompassing cardiac catheterization, renal, and peripheral procedures, supplemented with crosswalks from ICD-9 to ICD-10 codes
  • High-quality coding diagrams showing vessels of the heart, abdominal arteries (peripheral, renal, and visceral), carotid arteries, and more; full-body image shows ipsilaterial, contralateral, and selective catheter placement coding references in detail
  • Appendices addressing the Medicare physician fee schedule, hospital OPPS, CPT® codes and modifiers (Levels I and II)
  • Introduction to the basics of interventional radiology coding
AN IDEAL RESOURCE FOR: Cardiologists, physician practices and hospitals with cardiovascular departments 

THE #1 REASON TO OWN THIS BOOK:
Many facilities will struggle with the biggest overhaul of coronary intervention codes in nearly two decades. However, our cardiology coding experts recommend this resource for a lot of other reasons, such as the risk of assigning multiple codes for procedures that require a single composite code, or not appropriately using add-on codes that could increase the Medicare payment. In short, the complexities of cardiology coding, coupled with this years code overhaul, make it imperative to seek reliable and up-to-date guidance.
