@DrRoderickTung Agreed. Trying to plan for this as well out here in Cali. Will you do ablations in the ASC and is it connected to an inpatient facility?

@leftbundle Mintu. This is the cross we bare...

@ShaojieChen1 Welcome to my last 15 years. This shit works!!

@ChristianHeeger @RolandTilz @seriedel @chris_sohns @ShaojieChen1 @jongichun Very interesting. Please tell us your settings. What power? Time for lesion? Metric utilized to assess for legion formation.

@ditchhaporia Congratulations Dipti! I don't know if you remember me but our parents are friends. My folks were so happy to hear about this.

@EJSMD @netta_doc Did they do posterior wall isolation in the endocardial group? from the image it looks like they did not isolate the posterior wall in the endocardial group but did in the hybrid group.

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@leftbundle Agree. I think should be giving us pause to think this through. my experience with Device related thrombus has been significantly lower than 3.7%. This may partly be due to patient selection. Definitely only do patients who I feel could tolerate a noac for at least 6 weeks.

@CardiologyCoder Gotcha. Thanks!!

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@CardiologyCoder
Quick question. Have you heard anything about mue increasing by one additional unit for 93657 and 93655 in mid 2020?

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@CardiologyCoder Thank you! I heard somewhere that 93655 had an increase MUE to three as of last year. Does that make sense? 93657 to 2 as you mentioned.

@CardiologyCoder Atrial fibrillation (stroke, chf etc.), VT, CAD. Basically most disease states in cardiology.

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@CardiologyCoder Level 5 will be easy based on time. 40 minutes for full prep, patient encounter and crafting/ finishing note is very common.
For mdm, will be tougher.

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@CardiologyCoder Ok. Interesting

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@CardiologyCoder I am curious why you say this. Time-based billing for something that is 40 minutes total is level 5. That wouldn't be too hard to do on many patients when you take into account the review of data, talking to the patient, creating the note and so much more.

@50wattdoc So awesome. Pelotón next😀

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@EPLabDigest @50wattdoc @DrBradleyKnight Nice work 50wattdoc!!

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@aalahmadmd @jongichun More and more I am leaning this way. Or at least searching out for any AFib in a "primary" typical atrial flutter referral.

@Sierra_at_Tahoe Will you be posting when it is open again?

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@djcantillonmd @andreanatalemd @omwazni @khaldountarakji @EladAnter And do we have a winner? PP or continuous

[Rob Patrawala @PatrawalaRob]

@CardiologyCoder Given how much time people spend on notes both pre and post I would expect that the CPT code chosen will rise on average. Does that make sense? Why would anyone choose the MDM option moving forward? Wouldn't most Cardiology follow up notes be level 5 now?
