CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#7214 (Fluoroscopy Time)

Video Transcription

Sequence 7214, fluoroscopy time, is indicating the total fluoroscopy time recorded to the nearest minute between start of the procedure as coded in sequence 7000, procedure start  date and time, to the end of the CAP PCI procedure as coded in sequence 7005, procedure end date and time. The time recorded should include the total time for the lab visit.  This element can be captured up to the 10th place or one place after the decimal. However, if you have a total fluoroscopy time that reports to the 100th place or two places  after the decimal, then please truncate or simply drop the value. As an example, if the level is reported as 50.32 minutes, then code 50.3 and simply drop the 2.

Video Summary

Sequence 7214 in medical coding refers to the total fluoroscopy time recorded in minutes from the start of the procedure (sequence 7000) to the end of the CAP PCI procedure (sequence 7005), including the lab visit time. The time can be recorded to the 10th place or one decimal place, but if it is reported to the 100th place or two decimal places, the value should be truncated. For instance, if the time is 50.32 minutes, it should be coded as 50.3, dropping the decimal. This ensures accurate documentation of the fluoroscopy time in medical records.
