0223 - Coding Aortic Valve Regurgitation: Post-Procedure and Follow-Up

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the focus is on coding aortic valve regurgitation in two specific sequences - 13.526 for post-procedure aortic valve regurgitation, and 13.527 for follow-up aortic valve regurgitation. The case scenario involves an 84-year-old patient with aortic stenosis who underwent a TAVR procedure. Although there was no physician documentation of aortic regurgitation, echocardiograms performed before discharge and at the 30-day follow-up showed mild and trace trivial paravalvular leaks, respectively. The video explains that the coding for post-procedure aortic regurgitation should be based on the highest value of paravalvular or central regurgitation documented in the echocardiogram, which in this case is mild. Similarly, for follow-up aortic regurgitation, the coding should be based on paravalvular and central regurgitation severity, with trace trivial being coded as "none." The resource FAQ ID 25309 is also mentioned for further clarification.
