en.Wedoany.com Reported - Using artificial intelligence (AI) for coronary artery plaque analysis has become an important trend in cardiology. By evaluating plaque characteristics in coronary CT angiography (CCTA) images, this non-invasive technique provides detailed observation of a patient's coronary artery condition, avoiding the risks associated with traditional invasive procedures. In 2024, this technology received a new Category I CPT code, along with improved Medicare coverage, ensuring appropriate compensation for the medical team's time.

A growing number of medical teams are adopting AI-powered coronary artery plaque analysis tools to diagnose, treat, and manage patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). However, adapting existing workflows to maximize efficiency and properly handling coding and billing issues have become key challenges in the implementation process. To address this, Cardiovascular Business and Circle Cardiovascular Imaging co-hosted a free webinar dedicated to exploring these solutions.

This webinar will delve into implementation strategies for AI-driven coronary artery plaque analysis, covering core topics such as workflow integration, billing, and coding. Dr. Kevin Steel, Medical Director of Cardiac Imaging at PeaceHealth and Chief Medical Officer at Circle Cardiovascular Imaging, along with Audrey Sheely, Registered Nurse and Founder of Sheeley Consulting Services, will present, and interact with the audience during a subsequent live Q&A session.
