Understanding Coronary Artery Disease for Coders and Quality Teams – December 22, 10:00 AM Pacific Time

Coronary artery disease (CAD) coding requires more than recognizing a diagnosis code, it requires understanding the underlying anatomy and disease progression. This session covers the basics of coronary anatomy, atherosclerosis, and common CAD-related events and complications, along with standard medication management. Attendees will learn how to accurately code CAD and its complications, how CAD diagnoses map to HCC categories affecting risk adjustment, and which Category II CPT codes support CAD-related quality reporting. This foundation helps coders and quality teams bridge clinical detail and coding precision.
