Intra or Post-Procedure Event Types - Bleeding – Access Site

Video Transcription

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.
