In response to Gail I. Smith’s Dreaming of a Simpler CPT: Unlisted Procedures:
“I too am amazed at the number of commonly performed procedures that do not have a unique CPT code. For example transcatheter excision of tricuspid valve vegetation by angiovac is a commonly performed procedure with no specific CPT code as CPT only has 5 codes for procedures performed on tricuspid valves and most of those report open procedures. I agree that having a base code with a modifier for approach would be an interesting option for expanding the information that can be reported by the code set.” — Cari G.

Nationally recognized ICD-10 expert and Libman Education course author Lynn Kuehn, MS, RHIA, CCS-P, FAHIMA, is slated to present a webinar for Wolters Kluwer on July 30 titled “Clean Up Time – ICD-10-PCS Code Set Deletions for FY 2020.”
Registration info to come.
About the webinar:
We’ll talk about how CMS is using the 2020 ICD-10-PCS Code Set to address “inconsistent, illogical, and impossible to apply” codes. The update for FY 2020 will address two major families of codes where the data has been of poor quality due to codes that were impossible to assign. The proposed changes for FY 2020 include removal of the bifurcation of arteries from all except cardiac (affecting over 1800 codes), and removal of the external approach option for breast surgeries (they really are inside!).
Join our webinar and be ready for the code set deletions effective October 1, 2019 and how they affect your data:
– Analyze your data for current coding patterns
– Project the impact of the new coding structure
– Identify educational opportunities for coders and providers
