0622 - Sequence # 5170 | Baseline Imaging Performed

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the coding of baseline imaging in a case scenario involving a patient named Mrs. Perez who underwent an AFib ablation procedure. The video states that during Mrs. Perez's hospitalization prior to the procedure, a CT of the chest without contrast was performed, but it was not for the purpose of a pre-procedure assessment. The video explains that sequence 5170, which indicates if pre-procedure imaging was performed, should be coded as "no" in this case because the CT was not done for that purpose. It mentions that if sequence 5170 is coded as "no," sequence 5175 and 5185 will not be available for coding.
