Video Summary
The video transcript discusses the confusion surrounding post-transplant biopsy codes. It explains when to use congenital versus non-congenital cath codes based on the patient's underlying cardiac disease. For acquired diseases like cardiomyopathies, non-congenital codes are used, while genetic issues or residual congenital heart disease require congenital codes. Examples of residual issues are provided, such as stents in pulmonary arteries or arch issues. The importance of documenting and coding additional angiography and thermal dilution during procedures is emphasized to ensure accurate billing. Proper documentation is crucial to justify the choice of codes.
