Provider Training - Lower Extremity Revascularization
Hierarchies and Territories

Description

This 15-minute webinar explores reviews CPT coding for endovascular lower extremity revascularization, with emphasis on procedural hierarchies, vascular territories, lesion classification, and vessel-based reporting rules. The course incorporates an overview of the CPT overhaul effective January 1, 2026, helping providers, coders, and compliance professionals navigate new code families, terminology, and reporting guidance with confidence.

Key Takeaways 

• Understand the updated CPT code structure for lower extremity endovascular revascularization
• Identify reportable interventions including angioplasty, stent placement, atherectomy, and intravascular lithotripsy
• Apply procedural hierarchies to select the single most intensive service per vessel
• Differentiate straightforward versus complex lesions and understand how lesion type affects code selection
• Accurately assign codes based on vascular territory and vessel designation, not lesion count
• Apply add-on code rules correctly across iliac, femoral–popliteal, tibial–peroneal, and inframalleolar territories
• Avoid common reporting errors related to unsuccessful interventions and diagnostic angiography

Who this course is for

• Providers performing or documenting lower extremity revascularization procedures
• Coding professionals responsible for CPT assignment and compliance review
• Auditors and compliance teams validating complex endovascular claims
• Revenue integrity and HIM leaders supporting vascular service lines

Why it matters

• Prevent under- or over-reporting under the new CPT revascularization framework
• Reduce audit risk by aligning code selection with vessel-based and territory-specific rules
• Improve consistency and defensibility of lower extremity revascularization claims
• Support accurate documentation that reflects procedural complexity and intensity

What you get

• 15-minute  webinar — focused, practical content you can watch on your schedule
• Transcript & slides available for review and reference
• Insights you can apply immediately to documentation and coding workflows
