Interventional and Diagnostic Radiology
Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by Briefings on APCs
presented on July 7, 2010
Many interventional and diagnostic radiology procedures require multiple codes for compliant reimbursement, and digging the right detail out the documentation can challenge even the most advanced coder. Join us for this 90-minute intermediate-level audio conference where we tackle some of the most commonly miscoded procedures. The speakers discuss AV dialysis fistula coding, fluoroscopy coding, and non-invasive extremity coding. They show you how to distinguish between CT and CTA exams, discuss how nuclear medicine ties into a variety of exams, and answer listener questions.
