Video Transcription

Video Summary

This case involves a 56-year-old male with worsening angina undergoing a positive stress echo indicating high ischemia risk. He receives an urgent coronary angiography revealing two-vessel disease and an immediate PCI to the mid-RCA, then is discharged. During a second visit from home, he undergoes a successful elective staged PCI to the left circumflex. For Sequence 5200 (Stress Test Performed), coding for the second cath lab visit is "No" because the second PCI is a separate episode of care. Metric 2 also excludes this procedure from the denominator based on the coding guidelines.
