CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#5202 (Stress Test Results)

Video Transcription

Sequence 5202, Stress Test Result, is indicating the results of the non-invasive stress test performed between birth and current procedure.  While the Data Dictionary does provide guidance for coding stress test results, should the  information you are provided clearly and explicitly fall within the definition parameters, it would be acceptable to code.  Additionally, it is also acceptable to code based on physician documentation or interpretation as this reflects the outcome of the stress test experience.  However, as interpretation of stress test results requires licensing and training, if there is uncertainty in the documentation supplied, please clarify with the physician.  If there is no opportunity to clarify and no documentation present to support coding, unavailable would be coded.

Video Summary

The Stress Test Result code for Sequence 5202 interprets non-invasive stress test outcomes from birth to the current procedure. Coding should align with the Data Dictionary guidelines unless information meets the defined criteria. Physician documentation or interpretation is valid for coding, denoting the stress test results. However, due to specialized training requirements, uncertainties should prompt consultation with the physician. If clarification is unattainable and no supporting documentation exists, code as "unavailable."
