0824 - Sequence # 9040| Heart Failure

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the August 2024 case scenario, Mr. Jones underwent a successful AFib ablation procedure but developed pulmonary edema in the post-op area. Heart failure sequence 9040 should be coded as a post-procedure event due to decompensation of previously diagnosed heart failure. Respiratory failure sequence 9225 should not be coded, as there was no new diagnosis requiring mechanical ventilation. Mr. Jones will not be included in metric key 2765 for death or major adverse events post-procedure but will be included in metric key 2792 for any adverse events post-procedure. This case highlights the importance of accurate coding based on documentation.
