*When you have a procedure to code in CCI, the first thing that needs to be done is to decide the intervention category:   
*When you have a procedure to code in CCI, the first thing that needs to be done is to decide the intervention category/CCI chapter:   
**[[#Therapeutic Procedures]]
**1. [[#Therapeutic Procedures]]
**[[#Non-imaging Diagnostic Procedures]]
**2. [[#Non-imaging Diagnostic Procedures]]
**[[#Diagnostic Imaging Procedures]]
**3. [[#Diagnostic Imaging Procedures]]
**[[#Obstetrical Procedures]] -- these comprise a small picklist of therapeutic and diagnostic procedures directly related to the pregnant mother.  Other procedures done on a woman who happens to be pregnant (i.e. are not directly related to pregnancy and childbirth) would go under one of the other CCI categories listed on this page.

**[[#Miscellaneous]] - Immunotherapy procedures -- the only item on this list is intravenous administration of immunoglobulin (ivIg)

*It's usually easy to figure out which category to use, but sometimes an intervention can be both therapeutic and diagnostic (e.g. thoracentesis).  '''A rule is that when you have a procedure that has both therapeutic and diagnostic aspects, ONLY code the therapeutic part'''.  For example, for a diagnostic cardiac catheterization where at the same sitting a stent is placed, only code the stent placement.
