Thank you you so much as a Gastopresesis patient and advocate and a new coder I could talk on this subject all day . Gastopresesis reflects a minimum of 5 million people here in the United States and while there are few treatments and medication available most do not help and gastopresesis is not curable and very hard to manage. In 2019 we did a walk on Washington to try to get a bill to go thru with our Senators to pass a bill for more studies, better medical coverage and for the FDA to allow certain medications that help treat some of the symptoms. We have a support group with over 50,000 people who talk about their daily struggles. And of course I have my own experiences with Gastopresesis. This coding subject you touched for us today is not a common subject and I am very appreciative you took the time to highlight the coding aspect of it . Thank you .
Can you please do one for Bicuspid Aortic Value- it’s has been captured from Q-Code series, when the provider document without mention of “Congenital “. Please clarify which code best suits for this scenario. Thank you!!
I have a full article coming on Monday, but I wanted to update you quickly here. BAV is generally congenital, which makes it acceptable to capture the Q-code. If a valve is replaced, that's when it then becomes a Z-code for the prosthetic valve, and any rheumatic disorder resulting from that.
When it comes to your reply, so if the patient age (for example) 65, if the HPI and &A/P-just BAV( no evidence of Congenital), in this situation also I’m okay to capture Qcode…

Thank you for asking me to do this! It was honestly fun to do the research on this, and I learned a lot in the process. You are all heroes!
You’re welcome I love collaborating and working with others for awareness. Your support means the world to our community.
Wonderful Talia!! So helpful!!

Thank you so much for your clarification!!
I’m so excited to read the full article!!

Sure, I'd love to!
