Seq#7405 (Chest Pain Symptom Assessment)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Sequence 7405 focuses on assessing chest pain symptoms to determine the cause for cath lab procedures. Documentation of typical angina symptoms, like substernal chest discomfort relieved by rest, supports coding as typical angina. Atypical angina is coded with fewer typical symptoms or lower CCS levels. Non-anginal chest pain is coded for different chest pain causes. Asymptomatic is coded when no symptoms are reported. Shortness of breath can be an anginal equivalent when specifying the type of chest pain. These coding guidelines help accurately document chest pain symptoms in sequence 7405.
