Meet expectations for coding output AND quality? No problem!
“Boost output AND accuracy” is the expectation of peripheral and cardiology coders nowadays. But can you really do both — especially given the complexities of procedures and the variances in physician documentation? The answer is “yes,” if you have the right people and the right tools…including our Peripheral & Cardiology Coding Charts.
Designed to increase output and accuracy, these color-coded, high-quality anatomical charts provide a shortcut from physician intent to the correct CPT codes and charges for a broad spectrum of cardiology, cardiac cath, and peripheral procedures. Whatever your experience level, you’ll appreciate how the charts help you quickly visualize the procedure-code connection. They also enable faster, more efficient communications with your physicians, when needed.
Is your coding accuracy challenged by inconsistent physician documentation? Could you use a tool to visualize the subtle differences between similar procedures to arrive at the correct bundled code? Whatever the challenge, chances are our Peripheral & Cardiology Coding Charts will make your job easier. Hint: These charts are the ideal complement to our
Peripheral & Cardiology Coder book!
