CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#7015 (ICD Indication)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

ICD indication should be documented during initial implants and changes. Implanting physicians determine primary or secondary prevention, to be documented. For secondary prevention, if patient survived cardiac arrest or VT without reversible cause, code as secondary prevention if unable to clarify with clinician. Clear documentation on events like VT or V-fib without reversible cause is needed. Code for primary prevention if patient meets STD, HEFT, MAT-IT-1, or MAT-IT-2 criteria for ICD implant as these were primary prevention trials. Ensure all details are included in medical records for accurate coding.
