Mitigation

Ensure imaging reports are reviewed, Include plaque details in documentation

Using I25.10 when angina is present

Impact

Reimbursement: Potential underpayment due to incorrect code usage, Compliance: Non-compliance with coding guidelines, Data Quality: Inaccurate clinical data representation

Mitigation

Ensure angina status is documented and use appropriate code for angina presence.
