Description: AACVPR members are often responsible for coding pulmonary rehabilitation services for insurance reimbursement or sharing the coded information with their hospital's billing department. To help aid this process, we are holding a virtual, workshop that'll give our community the opportunity to connect with experts, ask questions and stay up to date on changes in Medicare payment. This course will provide attendees with current information regarding billing and coding best practices for pulmonary rehabilitation professionals.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss coverage rules and regulations
2. Discuss referral-to-charge key considerations
3. Summarize the key elements of an ITP and how to navigate an audit
4. Identify coverage and regulation resources
5. Describe real-life application of tools/resources

Topics Covered in this Webinar: Electrophysiology of sinus rhythm and calculating HR, Using laddergrams for arrhythmia analysis, Complex cornucopia (early and late), Heart block, and Supraventricular arrhythmias.

Webinar Description: This webinar will begin the discussion of arrhythmias, starting with the electrophysiology of normal sinus rhythm and the technique of calculating heart rate both for regular and irregular rhythms. The technique of using laddergrams for arrhythmia analysis will be described and these techniques will then be used to illustrate and diagnose ectopic complexes and heart block. This webinar will conclude with the interpretation of supraventricular arrhythmias (SVT/MAT/Afib/Aflutter).

Webinar Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Discuss basic electrophysiology for the cardiac rehab specialist.
2. Learn the proper calculation of heart rate in the presence of arrhythmias.
3. Recognize a variety of supraventricular arrhythmias, ectopic complexes and AV block.
4. Learn how to construct a laddergram to better understand the mechanism of arrhythmias.

Specifically designed for the cardiac rehabilitation environment, the course will cover six key areas. These will include: 1) Fundamental concepts of ECG electrophysiology and vectors, 2) Electrocardiography of acute and chronic coronary artery disease, 3) Arrhythmia interpretation, 4) Pacemaker electrocardiography,  5) Chamber enlargement, bundle branch block and preexcitation, 6) Pharmaceutical effects, QT syndromes and metabolic disorders. Educational materials and illustrations will be derived from Dr. Zimmerman’s textbook, ECG Core Curriculum, as well as from actual clinical cases.

Overall Learning Objectives:
At the completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
1. Describe the electrophysiologic basis for the normal ECG.
2. Properly identify and measure ECG intervals, segments and waves.
3. Demonstrate understanding of the vector concept and their relationship to ECG findings, avoiding reliance on pattern recognition.
4. Learn how to diagnose chronic coronary disease and differentiate acute coronary syndromes from “infarction imitators.”
5. Diagnose atrial and ventricular ectopic complexes, tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias.
6. Recognize chamber enlargement, bundle branch block and preexcitation.
