Therapeutic Px

This page is about the procedures that are part of CCI Collection in the CCI Category "Therapeutic Procedure".

Collection Instructions for Therapeutic Procedures

Here are the rules for what we will code and what we won't code:
1. Include all codable therapeutic procedures done outside the patient’s unit.
2. Include all codable therapeutic procedures done using an endoscope (in or out of the patient's unit) - whether inserted through an orifice, incision or wound.
3. In addition to (1) and (2) code the following (and only the following) therapeutic procedures done in the patient’s unit - but only the FIRST TIME (date) IT WAS DONE during the patient’s stay on that unit
- Sublist of these procedures that are chosen from the Picklist:
  - Hemodialysis (intermittent)
  - Peritoneal dialysis
  - Plasmapheresis
  - Mechanical ventilation, noninvasive - includes CPAP, BiPAP, and classic NIV (where a mask is connected to a regular ventilator)
- Sublist of these procedures that are coded in the usual CCI manner, i.e. using components:
  - PEG -- for which you combine the body part Therapeutic Intervention on Stomach, Pylorus with "what was done" as Bypass
  - debridement -- for which you combine the body part, with the "what was done" CCI code Excision, Resection, partial
  - tracheostomy placement (i.e. done bedside) -- combine code for body part Therapeutic Intervention on Trachea with "what was done" as Bypass

- - You have instructions for the therapeutic procedures. Are there any instructions for the diagnostic procedures and tests ie. which ones to collect and what time frame we are collecting, etc. ?? --LKolesar 13:28, 2018 May 4 (CDT)
