Resolved Questions continued from tonight's Office Hours for Students meeting

[KathleenH_59930]

Hi Alicia,
The IR/Cath topics were for (1) AV Fistula intervention (Angiography with Balloon Angioplasty for the peripheral dialysis segment). It had US fluoroscopy guidance (which is included in CPT code). (2) US and fluoroscopy guided placement of power port in upper right chest via right jugular vein access to upper right atrium. (3) Mesenteric Angiogram (this is the one we went over in the meeting). (4) Iliac and Gastroduodenal Arteriography with embolization of the proximal gastroduodenal artery. For that one a retrograde right external iliac arteriogram also done, which I believe would not be coded since it was for verification. (5) G-tube placement via Kumpe catheter and fluoroscopic guidance (also included).
The YouTube video I mentioned stopped on me even with several tries I just checked it works fine. Must have been my internet connection.
Thank you for covering IR topic today and suggesting resources!
Kathleen

Kathleen I appreciate the way you titled this. Thanks for that as it will let us track it better. You are awesome! I have made a list (note) for myself and am going to add it to the student as well as Club line ups. Also, will reach out to Kimberly and get her insight. I am really wanting to interview her on a CCO Live.
