ACC/MedAxiom Webinar on New 2009 CPT® Codes for Cardiac Device Monitoring
In 2009, cardiovascular health care professionals will see a fundamental shift in coding for cardiac device monitoring services, including pacemaker and ICD interrogations and programming sessions, remote monitoring, ICMs and ILRs. CPT 2009 includes 23 new codes for reporting these services. To help members understand the new structure, the ACC and MedAxiom held a Webinar on November 14 to discuss the changes. A recording of the Webinar is available.
