1121 - Sequence # 10205 | Discharge Medications Prescribed - ARNI

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case scenario regarding a patient who is discharged after being treated for a CRTD and has a history of cardiovascular issues. The patient is unable to tolerate ACE and ARB medications and is prescribed a combination medication called angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI). The video explains that documentation of a contraindication to prescribing an ARB is sufficient to code the ARNI as "no medical reason." However, a medical reason or concern for not prescribing an ARNI cannot be applied to an ARB or an ACE inhibitor. Clarification is provided on how to code these medications based on documentation.
