CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#5037 (Electrocardiac Assessment Method)

Video Transcription

Sequence 5037, electrocardiac assessment method, is indicating the method used for electrocardiac  assessment, whether it's abnormal, uninterpretable, or normal, 30 days prior to the procedure. The coding instructions are outlined in the notes.  It is hierarchical and should be applied as follows.  First, you want to capture the assessment method that identified the last abnormal electrocardiac value between 30 days prior to the procedure.  If there was no abnormal electrocardiac value observed, then you're going to capture the assessment method performed that identified the last uninterpretable electrocardiac value  30 days prior to the procedure. And if an uninterpretable electrocardiac value was not observed, then you're going  to capture the assessment method that identified the last normal electrocardiac value 30 days prior to the procedure.  But if an electrocardiac assessment was not performed 30 days prior to the procedure, you would then code none.

Video Summary

Sequence 5037 is used for electrocardiac assessment leading up to a procedure, categorizing results as abnormal, uninterpretable, or normal. The code to use depends on the last assessment type recorded within 30 days before the procedure: abnormal, then uninterpretable, and finally normal if no abnormalities or uninterpretable results are found. If no assessment was done, the code is marked as "none." Follow the hierarchical order outlined in the notes for applying the coding instructions correctly.
