Cardiology Coding Alert

Follow the path to make the switch to 2011 codes a snap.

Make the transition to new iliac revascularization codes a little simpler by using this chart. Be sure to read "37220 to +37223 Revamp Your Iliac Intervention Coding Options" on the cover to get more information on these new codes.

Don't forget: Use the appropriate modifiers to report bilateral services. And if the physician also performs iliac atherectomy, also report 0238T (Transluminal peripheral atherectomy, open or percutaneous, including radiological supervision and interpretation; iliac artery, each vessel).
