CV ASC Registry Education-Intra or Post-Procedure Event Types - Bleeding

Video Transcription

To code yes for bleeding at access site, there must be documentation the patient experienced external bleeding at the access or percutaneous site that's coded in sequence 7320 arterial access site that was observed and documented in the medical record.  Then, once that is identified, there must be any one of the following, a hemoglobin drop of three or more, a transfusion, or a procedural intervention or surgery at the bleeding site to reverse stop or correct the bleeding.  While there may be documentation that criteria number one or two or three took place, when there is no documentation reflecting the patient experienced external bleeding at the access site, this bleeding event would not be captured.

Video Summary

To code bleeding at an access site, the patient must have experienced external bleeding at the access or percutaneous site, coded under 7320 arterial access site. Following this, the documentation should include a hemoglobin drop of three or more, a transfusion, or a procedural intervention/surgery at the bleeding site to address the issue. If criteria one, two, or three are met without documentation of external bleeding, the event won't be captured for coding purposes. It is essential to establish a clear link between bleeding at the access site and the subsequent actions taken to address it for accurate coding and billing.
