Comprehensive exploration of coding for head and neck imaging and interventions

Delve into the intricacies of coding for angiography and interventions in the head and neck with this enlightening webcast. Gain essential clarity and practical examples covering angioplasty, embolization, thrombectomy, thrombolytic infusion therapy, and intravascular stenting for both arterial and venous procedures. The session offers detailed insights into the procedures, their corresponding code selections, and how these choices may vary based on the method of procedure execution. Strengthened by real-world examples, case studies, and anatomical diagrams, you will leave with a heightened confidence in accurately coding for head and neck procedures.

The agenda includes:

• Angiography of the head and neck
  • Cervicocerebral, arch, carotid and vertebral imaging, additional selective 2^nd and 3^rd order vessels after the initial study/exam
  • Overview of CPT codes and how they relate to procedures, anatomy, and key phrases to look for in documentation
• Head and neck interventional procedures
  • Arterial and venous with review of anatomy, procedures, and corresponding code choices for:
    • Angioplasty, stenting, embolization, thrombolytic therapy, thrombectomy, atherectomy
  • Imaging guidance – when it can and cannot be separately reported
  • Case examples and scenarios with an emphasis on the dos and don’ts when coding for head and neck procedures with key phrases to look for in documentation
  • Answers to frequently asked questions and, time permitting, answers to attendee questions
