O224 - Sequence # 4040 | CHADS-VASc Thromboembolic Event

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this case scenario, the coding for sequence number 4040, Chad's VASC, thromboembolic event, will be coded as "no." This is because a thromboembolic event is defined as an ischemic stroke, peripheral embolism, or pulmonary embolism, and DVT does not fit this definition. The presence of a stationary thrombus, such as DVT, will not be included in the coding of the risk score. If the provider had documented a Chad's VASC assessment and included a thromboembolic event as a condition, it would be coded accordingly. However, in this case, the coding is based on the patient's documented history of ischemic stroke, pulmonary embolism, or peripheral embolism.
