This course includes coding instructions for imaging of the abdominal aorta and the extremity arteries whether performed in combination or separately. Both selective and non-selective imaging procedures are explained in detail. Numerous actual case examples are presented to assist in coding from the physician documentation.

All forms of dialysis access devices are covered in the context of CPT procedure coding for diagnostic imaging and maintenance procedures. Filming and interventions on AV shunts and fistulae as well as dialysis catheter insertion and follow-up procedures are discussed in detail.

This course covers the coding of all types of percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy procedures, including coronary artery, AV hemodialysis access device, peripheral arterial, and peripheral venous thrombectomy. The different types of thrombectomy devices are described to assist in recognizing terminology associated with the procedure.

This basic overview for those involved with endovascular procedures discusses non-selective catheter placement coding in all vascular systems. Specifically, the non-selective catheter placement codes for peripheral and visceral vascular procedures and the rules surrounding their assignment are thoroughly explained.
View Product
This course takes you through all the different anatomical areas where selective arterial catheter placements are utilized. There are separate sections on cervicocerebral, visceral and renal, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Multiple real-life examples are included to assist in applying the rules to common coding scenarios.

This course takes the student through the new rules for coding diagnostic angiography of the cervical and cerebral carotid arteries, arch aorta, vertebral arteries, cerebral arteries, brachiocephalic artery, and subclavian arteries. The imaging and catheter placements, whether included or separately reportable, are explained in detail, followed by numerous case studies to assist in determining the appropriate codes to assign from a physician report.

Transcatheter lower extremity arterial revascularization is coded much differently than other vascular systems. There is significantly more bundling, and the rules differ based on the specific artery intervened upon. This increases the complexity of coding for these interventions.
View Product
This module details the different types of transcatheter infusions performed in an imaging lab and the rules surrounding the coding of these services. Procedures such as thrombolysis in coronary and non-coronary vessels and cerebral vasospasm treatment are included. Multiple real-case examples are provided to correlate documentation with appropriate coding.

This course discusses urinary tract procedures that are performed percutaneously. This includes drainage catheter placement, stent placement, dilation, embolization, and other procedures performed via a nephrostomy or ureterostomy tract.
View Product
This course covers all vascular stent placement except those performed in the coronary, iliac, femoral, tibial, peroneal, and popliteal arteries (which have separate courses). The student will be guided through all other types of vascular stent placement procedures and the coding rules applicable to each. This includes the carotid artery, vertebral artery, TIPS, venous system, visceral arteries, renal arteries, and other vascular systems.

This course covers the CPT coding rules for reporting coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It has several case examples explaining how to report grafts performed with both veins and arteries. Other surgical procedures that may be performed at the same time are also discussed, as well as the services that are included in each code.
View Product
This course gives detailed instructions for coding transcatheter repair or replacement of the aortic, pulmonic, tricuspid, and mitral heart valves. Case examples are provided to aid in selection of the appropriate code. Common procedures performed in conjunction with cardiac valve repair and replacement are also discussed.
