Description

Accurate coding and documentation are essential to securing appropriate reimbursement and avoiding costly claim denials for congenital heart interventions. In this second webinar of the Congenital Coding Series, expert faculty will address common coding misconceptions, review the proper use of modifiers, and share practical strategies to optimize coding accuracy and reimbursement.

Through case-based discussions focused on imaging add-on services such as intracardiac echocardiography (ICE), 3D rotational angiography, 3D echocardiography, and ultrasound-guided vascular access, participants will gain actionable insights to improve coding and documentation practices in everyday clinical care.
