Walk through coding for lower extremity angiography and interventions

Delivering guidance on coding for lower extremity angiography and interventions, this webcast aims to offer clear insights and practical examples related to angioplasty, atherectomy, lithotripsy, infusion therapy, and intravascular stenting for both arterial and venous procedures. The session includes comprehensive explanations of the procedures, associated code selections, and how these choices vary depending on the specific approach used. Strengthened by examples, case studies, and anatomical diagrams, attendees will gain confidence in accurately coding for lower extremity procedures.

The agenda includes:

• 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
• Imaging guidance – when it can and cannot be separately reported
• Case examples and scenarios with key phrases to look for in documentation
