Coding for peripheral vascular procedures requires coders to not only be aware of the complex anatomy involved, but also accurately interpret provider documentation to choose the most appropriate procedure code. This requires the ability to define terminology used in the CPT Manual and its guidelines, in addition to knowing what is included in each code.
Don’t be frustrated by the difficulty of coding for these procedures—ensure your coders are all on the same page by attending this three-hour virtual workshop from expert speaker Stacie L. Buck, RHIA, CCS-P, RCC, CIRCC. She will guide participants through the components of successful coding and review case studies that highlight frequently challenging clinical scenarios, focusing on catheter-based diagnostic imaging of the arterial system.
Participants are encouraged to take this 30-question self-assessment ahead of the workshop. Responses submitted before Thursday, April 12 will be included in the program, where Buck will discuss the results and answer participant questions. Use this opportunity to test your team, compare responses to other organizations, and take the test again after the program to verify what was learned!
Below are some questions included in the assessment. Do you know the answers?

1. Which of the following is considered a selective catheterization? - Access at the right common femoral artery for imaging of the right lower extremity
- Access at the left common femoral artery, catheterization of the abdominal aorta for imaging
- Access at the right common femoral artery for imaging of the left lower extremity from the left common iliac
- Access at the left subclavian artery, catheterization of the abdominal aorta for run off imaging
2. Which of the following abnormal anatomy configurations decrease the number of vascular families? - Aberrant subclavian

- 36227, 75756
- 75710, 75726
- 75756, 75710
