• Every cardiology practice faces billing and
  coding challenges. Rapidly evolving technologies
  and increasingly complex treatment protocols
  including endovascular surgery,
  electrophysiology, diagnostic tests and E M
  services make cardiology coding, billing and
  reimbursement extremely challenging for your
  practice. Cardiology coding is complex and
  requires experienced, trained and certified
  coders to accurately code the interventional
  procedures such as cardiac catheterization,
  angioplasty, percutaneous coronary intervention,
  stents, atherectomy etc.

• Monitoring updates on cardiology coding Keeping
  abreast with the coding updates by maintaining
  ICD 10 CM, PCS, HCPCS, CPT code books is
  imperative. CMS website publishes frequent
  updates to the coding rules and guidelines. The
  AHA (American Heart Association) publishes
  frequent newsletters. Frequent reference to CMS
  websites and subscriptions to articles will keep
  the providers updated on cardiology coding.
  Coding to the highest degree of specificity
  should be followed by all cardiologists.
• Accurate Documentation Incorrect or inaccurate
  documentation delays the reimbursement cycle of
  claims. Documentation gaps in cardiology
  interventional procedures may lead to revenue
  losses for healthcare providers.
• Quality checks and audits Regular quality checks
  and frequent audits of coding is a must to avoid
  repetition of errors. There needs to be open
  communication between physicians, coders,
  billers. Cardiologists need to be educated by
  coders and billers frequently used ICD and CPT
  codes by the practice and denials/rejections.
