Question:
The procedures I am auditing are performed by an interventional cardiologist (who is also dictating the reports for the procedures). The co-surgeon is the cardiovascular surgeon. Cutdowns are being performed by the vascular surgeon. Is there any coding I can do for them? I want to be sure I am looking at these procedures correctly.
Need to ask Dr.Z?
