Specialty CPT Medical Coding

Cardiology Cath Lab Specialty Coding

The Cardiac Cath Lab can be a winner or a loser for a hospital financially. Coding and charging are critical. Complex procedures performed in the Cath Lab can be very difficult to code correctly, and most hospitals struggle with accuracy accordingly. This is because interventional radiology coding and interventional cardiovascular coding for these procedures requires specialization and a tremendous attention to deatil.

The medical coding industry has responded with a specialty credential for coders who choose to specialize in this complex area. The new credential is governed by the Amerian Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). The credential is known as a Certified Interventional Radiology Cardiovascular Coder (CIRCC). We happily employ a number of these highly specialized coders, and they are essential to our success.

The credential isn't easy to get. One must be very knowledgable and experienced in this field to pass the exam. In fact, there are a very limited number of coders who hold the specialty credential in this important coding area. We believe that it takes a good, credentialled coder several years of experience in this area before they are truly ready to earn and represent this credential - not just craming for the exam in a one-week boot camp.
