Errata

Following the publication of Dr. Z's Medical Coding Series, there are necessary revisions that reflect changes in coding rules and corrections to typographical errors. These revisions are published on our website as errata. Review errata documents quarterly to ensure all reference material is current.

When downloading an errata document, please make sure to refresh the browser window of the errata PDF when it finishes loading to ensure you're viewing the most recently uploaded version. Thank you.

2023 Errata

In our test for 2023 - CPT Coding Updates for Interventional Radiology, Cardiology, and Vascular and Cardiothoracic Surgery an incorrect option for answer was published. This error has now been corrected and relates to the new use of pulmonary artery stent codes 33900-33904. Please note that placement of a PDA stent is reported with 33902, unilateral pulmonary artery stent, abnormal connections, even though “just a PDA” is considered a congenital heart catheterization with normal connections. Most PDAs that have stents placed are associated with congenital heart disease associated with abnormal connections, thus, the use of 33902 over 33900. Dr.z
