Video Summary

In this video, the AFib Ablation Registry Monthly Case Scenario for August 2020 is discussed. The case scenario focuses on two sequences: Intra-Procedure Anticoagulation (7225) and Other (7250). A patient was admitted for an AFib Ablation procedure and it is noted that their Eloquus medication was not held prior to the procedure. The operating clinician was aware of this. Based on the available documentation, the uninterrupted Eloquus therapy should be captured using the code for Other (Sequence 7250). If Eloquus was not held, it should be coded as an anticoagulant used during the procedure. Warfarin therapy and Bivalirudin are separate codes. Apixaban is coded as Current for pre-procedure medication.
