Hello coders,

New to Cardiology here, does anyone have a Cardiology Code sheet they would share with our office that would make it easier for charging cath's at the hospital including modifers etc.

I watched a video from Codingcertification.org / love the instructor however am unable to reach her for a copy of her Charge sheet she teaches with and probably sells. If anyone has something they could share it would be greatly appreciated.

Or if you know where I can obtain one I would appreciate that as well. :cool:

Please email if you do to me at dar2@ymail.com
 
Did you receive a sheet?

Did you receive the sheet you were requesting. I am running into denials from medicare on all of my stenting codes and if you have this sheet, I would so be indebt to you if you could email it to me at khesselb@yahoo.com

Thank you so much!!!!!
 
Charge Sheet Heart Cath's

No I am sorry I have sent so many requests and no one seems to respond. I know there is one out there somewhere that we can use. If you manage to get ahold of one let me know please. The Sheet from the instructor Laureen on codingcertification.org is a great tool however no one calls or responds back by email.

I have also tried putting a link out here for members to assist and direct me in finding a Cath Charge Sheet and nothing yet. lol

Ugh,,, it would make my world easier until I can create my own.. Right now working two jobs I don't have that time. Lets keep each other informed.
 
Are you looking for something that explains each cath code a little more? I am uncertain of what exactly it is you are looking for. I have a book from Lauren and I will see if it has a cath code charge sheet in it.

Thank You

Do you have any information on what modifiers to use, when and for whom? I have been getting denials from Medicare on my stenting codes.
Modifiers, modifiers, modifiers.......always something!!!

I really appreciate your help!
 
LM - Left Main Coronary Artery
LD - Left Anterior Descending Artery
LC - Left Circumflex Artery
RC - Right Coronary Artery
RI - Ramus Intermedius

Hope this helps
 
2013 cath billing sheet

I emailed a sample of 2013 cath billing slip to you. I hope you find it helpful.
 
Medicare is not recognizing the LD, etc modifiers, right now. If you are receiving denials, you need to take them off and rebill. I've contacted our provider rep at Noridian and she didn't know there was a problem. Not sure what the fix is.
 
LHC procedure or surgery?

When it's proper to bill an E/M code the same day as a Left Heart Cath, which modifier is correct? 25 or 57? I just received a call from a fellow cardiology coder and she has been told to use 25 because a LHC is not a surgery.

Modifier -25 because cardiac caths/stents have a zero day global.

-57 modifier is reserved for those surgeries with a 90 day global period.
