2012 Webinars: Medical Coding Courses

An excellent way to earn your CEUs online and on your own schedule

• Purchase a webinar and invite up to 30 people to access the webinar and receive CEUs.  
• You have three (3) months from the date of purchase to access the post-test and print your CEU certificate(s).
• You may also save the webinar presentation and course materials to your computer to refer back to as often as you'd like after the expiration date.
• Earn up to two (2) society-approved CEU credits for an individual course. AHIMA awards two (2) CEUs, and AAPC awards one and a half (1.5) CEUs. Please note that each individual webinar varies on how many CEUs it offers for a particular organization. The above listed quantities are an approximation and subject to change/vary. The CIRCC webinar only offers CEU credits from AAPC.
• All ZHealth Online members receive a 10% discount off of all ZHealth products.

2012 Updates for Interventional Radiology, Cardiology, and Vascular Surgery Join us for our annual webinar that specifically addresses the new codes and bundling issues slated for 2012.	Published and ready for download
(CEUs: AAPC - 1.5, AHIMA - 2.0)
2012 - Basic Catheter Selections This webinar starts with basics to help successfully choose the correct catheter selection codes during complex diagnostic and interventional cases.  It focuses on physician documentation, anatomy (normal and variant), vascular systems, vascular orders, families, and selective vs. non-selective catheter positions.	Published and ready for download
(CEUs: AAPC - 1.5, AHIMA - 2.0)
2012 - Diagnostic Angiography for Peripheral Procedures This webinar builds on the coding basics again, discussing physician documentation and reviewing catheter selection codes, but also focuses on the imaging supervision and interpretation (S&I) 70,000 series of CPT codes.  It covers extremity, visceral, cervicocerebral, thoracic, and abdominal arterial studies.  It also briefly reviews venous, pulmonary, and portal venous imaging codes as well.	Published and ready for download
(CEUs: AAPC - 1.5, AHIMA - 2.0)
2012 - Peripheral Vascular Intervention: Part 1 This webinar covers angioplasty, atherectomy, and stenting throughout the vascular system.  This includes lower extremity endovascular revascularization procedures, along with visceral upper extremity and cervicocerebral revascularization procedures utilizing endovascular approach.	Published and ready for download
(CEUs: AAPC - 1.5, AHIMA - 2.0)
2012 - Peripheral Vascular Intervention: Part 2 This webinar concentrates on percutaneous thrombectomy, infusion therapy (both thrombolytic and non-thrombolytic), and embolization procedures.  The discussion includes guidelines for interventions on native vessels as well as graft vessels.  Coding of the procedures is examined as stand-alone procedures, as well as when performed with other interventions.

(CEUs: AAPC - 1.5, AHIMA - 2.0)
2012 - Peripheral Vascular Intervention: Part 3 This webinar concentrates on endovascular stent grafts and venous interventions.  Thoracic and abdominal aorta stent grafts, as well as iliac stent grafts, are discussed.  In addition, rules for the coding of interventions performed in veins are explored, such as TIPS, filter placement, ablations, and others.	Published and ready for download
(CEUs: AAPC - 1.5, AHIMA - 2.0)
2012 - Non-Vascular Interventional Coding: Part 1 This webinar focuses on coding gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and biliary procedures.  Biliary and nephrostomy drainage tube placement, replacement, and all maintenance procedures; feeding tube placement, replacement, and maintenance; and biliary and ureteral stent placement, removal, and replacement procedures are covered, as well as other procedures performed percutaneously such as stone removal, dilation, conversion, etc.	Published and ready for download
(CEUs: AAPC - 1.5, AHIMA - 2.0)
2012 - Non-Vascular Interventional Coding: Part 2 This webinar focuses on percutaneous biopsies, abscess and cyst drainages, and tumor ablations.  The coding rules surrounding each are discussed, with specific examples included.  The differences between a needle aspiration and a biopsy are explained, along with the differences in coding the two types of biopsies.  Procedures supporting abscess drainage, such as drainage tube placement, aspiration of the abscess, imaging evaluation of the abscess cavity, drainage tube replacement, etc. are extensively discussed.  The differences between abscess drainage and cyst aspiration procedures and their respective coding rules are discussed.  The types of tumor ablation procedures performed and the coding guidelines for each are also covered.

2012 - Dialysis Access Coding This webinar covers creation, assessment, and maintenance of dialysis grafts.  It includes anatomy, discussion of the different types of shunts and fistulae, as well as the percutaneous and open interventions most frequently utilized.	Published and ready for download
(CEUs: AAPC - 1.5, AHIMA - 2.0)
2012 - Neurointerventional Coding This webinar covers procedures in the subspecialty area of neuroradiology.  These are complex endovascular procedures that involves vascular imaging and intervention in the head, neck, and spine.  Intracranial angioplasty, vasospasm therapy, embolization procedures, venous sampling, thrombolysis, papaverine and verapamil infusion, arterial thrombectomy, as well as carotid, vertebral, and intracranial stenting are covered.
