On October 23, 2018 at 8:00 PM EDT: Dr. Aron Tendler, chief medical officer at BrainsWay, will host the webinar, “Deep TMS: Transforming the Treatment Paradigm for OCD.” This webinar will introduce BrainsWay’s platform TMS system, which was recently FDA approved for the treatment of treatment-resistant OCD. During the webinar, Dr. Tendler will discuss OCD including how it is diagnosed and treated. He will also speak about brain stimulation as a new treatment option for use in treatment-resistant patients and the company’s deep TMS device, which has the potential to transform the current standard of care for OCD.

About OCD: Over 1.2 million OCD patients are considered treatment resistant to first-line therapies, including SSRIs. After first-line therapies fail, many physicians consider neuromodulation options such as brain surgery. A new, non-invasive neuromodulation strategy involves TMS targeting the anterior cingulate cortex region of the brain. In addition to providing another treatment option for patients and improving patient quality of life, TMS may also be more cost effective for patients.

About TMS: Deep brain stimulation works to target specific areas of the brain and can affect the treatment of certain disorders including OCD and depression. Brain stimulation devices utilizing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technology have also recently been approved to treat disorders including OCD and depression.

According to the American Heart Association, the total number of inpatient cardiovascular operations and procedures increased 28% between 2000 and 2010, from 5.94 million to 7.58 million.

That’s a lot of procedures to code.

But if you fully understand the structure of the heart, it will help you code better and more accurately.

In addition, with the one-year grace period from last year’s introduction of ICD-10 ending October 1, you’ll have to begin coding with more specificity and become accustomed to many new codes.

You don’t want to have your claims denied because you did not provide a specific enough code.

If you’re not current with the Cardiac Catheterization Coding Guidelines or you’re still struggling to learn the new codes, our timing couldn’t be better.

Now is the right time.
