Seq#5264 (Prior Diagnostic Coronary Angiography Procedure without intervention Date)

Video Transcription

Sequence 5264, Prior Diagnostic Coronary Angiography Procedure Date, is coded with the most recent date of the diagnostic cath performed prior to the current procedure.  When only the year is known, please code 01-01 and insert that known year. If the specific year is unknown and in the record, the year can be estimated based on  timeframes found in prior documentation, it may be used for coding. As an example, if the patient had most recent diagnostic coronary angiography documented  in a record from 2011, then the year 2011 can be utilized and coded as 01-01-2011.

Video Summary

Sequence 5264 involves coding the most recent date of a prior diagnostic coronary angiography procedure before the current one. If only the year is known, code it as 01-01 and insert the known year. If the year is not specific but can be estimated from prior documentation, use that estimated year based on timeframes. For instance, if a patient had a diagnostic coronary angiography in a record from 2011, code it as 01-01-2011. This coding process ensures accurate documentation of prior procedures before the current one.
