0920 - Sequence # 5200 | Stress Test Performed

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses a case scenario involving a 56-year-old male with angina and CAD. The patient presents to his provider with worsening symptoms and undergoes a stress echo, which indicates a high risk of ischemia. He then has an urgent diagnostic coronary angiography and PCI procedure, followed by a staged PCI to another vessel in a later visit. The question is whether Sequence 5200, Stress Test Performed, should be coded for the second cath lab visit, and the answer is yes. The video explains that the coding instructions and target value are both met for the second visit. The patient is excluded from the denominator for metric 2, which relates to PCI procedures with positive stress or imaging studies.
