CCI Collection Mode: CCI collect each

This procedure is a part of CCI Collection. This is one of the CCI component 2 codes - what was done.

Additional Info

  • This is a type of "what was done" to the body part in question --- it applies to Therapeutic Procedures only.
  • Includes occlusion of vessels via: ligation, banding, filter insertion (e.g. IVC filter), embolization, repair of aneurysm or AVM (where the abnormal connection was occluded).
    • Includes filter because a filter works by partial occlusion.
    • Regarding of embolization or banding of a vessel that is currently BLEEDING -- it would be appropriate to code both the occlusion of the vessel, and the Control of bleeding of the vessel.
  • Also includes mechanical occlusion of other structures (e.g. lacrimal gland duct)
