Amanda Miller asked:
I am a visual learner; and I am having a hard time figuring out how to properly code catheterization procedures. A lot of times the entrance is not in a first family order branch and makes it confusing as to what different branches you are supposed to include.
Is there a chart or any type of visual graph to help? (Besides the CPT index L; that is just the orders and does not help with the actual introduction and movement of the catheter.)
Thank you so so much!

Answer:
CCO had a free tool Cardiac Catheterization Coding Answer Sheet to help with this.
