Cardiovascular System: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG)
Hours: 1.00
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures are the most common type of open-heart surgery performed in the United States, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. CPT codes for coronary artery bypass procedures are found in the Cardiovascular System subsection (33016-37799) of the CPT Surgery section. Coding these procedures using the CPT codes requires a solid understanding of the cardiovascular anatomy, types of grafts used, and the CPT coding guidelines and instructions. This course will cover coding the different types of coronary artery bypass procedures using the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®).
A current copy of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®), Professional Edition, is strongly recommended to optimize your understanding of the content covered.
