2023 Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dialysis Shunt Interventional Radiology Coding

In-depth discussion of coding for dialysis circuit IR procedures

Providing instruction in coding for imaging and interventions performed in the dialysis circuit, this webcast will provide much-needed clarification while addressing common coding errors and frequently asked questions. With in-depth descriptions of the procedures themselves, the corresponding code choices and how those code choices relate to the procedure performed, key phrases to look for in documentation, case studies and anatomic diagrams – you will walk away with the tools to quickly, accurately, and confidently arrive at the correct code choices for dialysis graft/fistula procedures. We will cover the new 2023 Category I codes and deletion of 2 G codes. In addition, we will discuss the 4 new C codes created for ASCs with directions on who should and should not be using them.
