This course will cover coding of vascular injection procedures using the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set. Discussed are intravenous, intra-arterial, intra-aortic, and venous injection procedures, as well as central venous access procedures.
The course will review the CPT codes for vascular injection procedures (36000-36598) and the coding guidelines and instructions in the Cardiovascular System subsection within the Surgery section of CPT. The purpose of this course is to help the learner identify the appropriate codes for vascular injection procedures and correctly apply the coding guidelines using case studies and scenarios. This course does not include the associated therpeutic procedures performed following the vascular access, or coding for hemodialysis access.
