Understanding Dysrhythmias for Coders and Quality Teams – January 5, 10:00 AM Pacific Time

Dysrhythmias present unique coding challenges due to the range of arrhythmia types and their varying clinical significance. This session introduces the basic anatomy and electrical conduction system of the heart, common types of dysrhythmias, and their associated complications and treatments. Attendees will learn how to select accurate diagnosis codes based on arrhythmia type and complication, how dysrhythmia diagnoses relate to applicable HCC categories, and which Category II CPT codes apply to dysrhythmia-related quality measures. The session connects cardiac anatomy and physiology directly to coding and metric accuracy.
