How are coronary artery bypass procedures coded?

Coronary artery bypass procedures are coded differently than other bypass procedures, which is described in guideline B3.6a. Rather than identifying the body part bypassed from, the body part identifies the number of coronary artery sites bypassed to, and the qualifier specifies the vessel bypassed from. ICD-10-PCS Guideline 3.6c.

What is the ICD 10 code for presence of pacemaker?

Z95.0ICD-10-CM code Z95. 0 is used to report the presence of a cardiac pacemaker without current complications. If the device is interrogated, code Z45. 018 would be reported as it is no longer just the presence of the device but attention to the device.

What is the difference between the root operations measurement and monitoring?

Measurement is the first root operation and is used when the procedure determines the level of a physiological or physical function at a point in time. Monitoring is the second root operation and is used when the procedure determines the level of a physiological or physical function repetitively over a period of time.

What is presence of cardiac pacemaker?

A pacemaker is a small device that's placed (implanted) in the chest to help control the heartbeat. It's used to prevent the heart from beating too slowly. Implanting a pacemaker in the chest requires a surgical procedure. A pacemaker is also called a cardiac pacing device.

What is ICD-10-PCS?

1. Monitoring of urinary flow

The first objective is to determine what is the procedure being performed. What’s being done when we’re measuring or monitoring.

2. Fetal monitoring of cardiac electrical activity via natural opening

Now, let’s look at some other examples. We walked through this one.

3. Monitoring of respiratory flow, via nose – nasal cannula

Here’s one that’s very common again. The objective: we’re monitoring. What are we doing? Respiratory is the body system. For what? The flow. So, monitoring, respiratory and flow gives us the codes 4A19. So, we’d look in the Index, monitoring, then go into respiratory and flow, that gives us to the section 4A19.

4. External measurement of cardiac pacemaker

I think we have the last one that is also a very common PCS code – “External measurement of cardiac pacemaker.” What’s the objective here? We’re not monitoring anymore, we’re measuring. So, you’re going to go to the index to measurement. What are we measuring? The cardiac is the body system – cardiac.

The first objective is to determine what is the procedure being performed. What’s being done when we’re measuring or monitoring. Then, the next thing you need to determine is where on the body that you’re going to be working, that’s the next step. So, you take it one step at a time. Chandra found a great graphic here, so let’s star…

Fetal Monitoring of Cardiac Electrical Activity Via Natural Opening.

  • Now, let’s look at some other examples. We walked through this one. This time, we’re not going to show you a graph but I’m going to give you the verbiage/the terminology that you need – “Fetal monitoring of cardiac electrical activity via natural opening.” Actually, what they can do with that is ‘fetal’ is going to be the baby and cardiac electrical activity via natural opening. There are a lots o…
