0320 - Sequence # 10116 | Cardiac Rehab Referral

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a case scenario is presented where a 70-year-old male with a history of multivessel disease is unable to undergo an elective PCI procedure due to the inability to cross the lesion with the guide wire. The patient is discharged and instructed to continue current medication and provided a referral to a cardiothoracic surgeon for possible cabbage. The coding process reveals no documentation for cardiac rehab, and when clarified with the physician, it is stated that rehab was not necessary because no PCI was done. As a result, the coding for sequence 10116, Cardiac Rehabilitation Referral, is "No, reason not documented." The video emphasizes the importance of providing a cardiac rehab referral for patients undergoing PCI to improve quality of care and reduce all-cause mortality. Exceptions to providing a referral include a documented medical reason, lack of nearby cardiac rehab programs, or patient refusal with supporting documentation.
