2023 Lower Extremity Interventional Radiology Coding

Walk through coding for lower extremity angiography and interventions

Providing instruction in coding for lower extremity angiography and interventions. This webcast will provide much-needed clarification and examples on angioplasty, atherectomy, lithotripsy, infusion therapy and intravascular stenting for both arterial and venous procedures. With in-depth descriptions of the procedures themselves, the corresponding code choices and how those code choices change based on how the procedure was performed, reinforced with examples, case studies and anatomic diagrams, walk away confident when coding for lower extremity procedures. In addition, we will discuss the 4 new 2023 C codes created by CMS for ASCs along with who should and should not report them.

What’s on the agenda:

• Lower extremity angiography
  • Lower extremity vessels, additional selective vessels after the initial study/exam, selective and non-selective pelvic vessels, abdominal aorta, etc.
  • Overview of CPT® codes and how they relate to procedures, anatomy and key phrases to look for in documentation
• Lower extremity interventional procedures
  • Arterial and venous with review of anatomy, procedures and corresponding code choices for:
    • Angioplasty, stenting, lithotripsy, embolization, thrombolytic therapy, thrombectomy, atherectomy
  • Lower extremity revascularization
  • New 2023 C codes with directions on who should report them along with why they were created for ASCs
• Imaging guidance – when it can and cannot be separately reported
• Case examples and scenarios with key phrases to look for in documentation
• Answers to frequently asked questions and, time permitting, answers to attendee questions
