Achieve appropriate reimbursement for cardiovascular procedures
Nuance Cardiovascular CAPD, powered by ZHealth, improves interventional cardiology case reporting speed and accuracy with a single documentation‑to‑coding system that enables physicians to create fully‑specified reports completed with codes generated automatically.
White paper
Is your cardiovascular reimbursement accurate?
A recent study of 51 U.S. hospital systems revealed 45 percent of interventional cardiovascular cases were coded incorrectly, and each under‑coded case averaged $8,000 in missed reimbursement. Learn where opportunities exist.

How to bill cath lab procedures with near 100% accuracy every time
Discover how Nuance Cardiovascular CAPD improves the documentation‑to‑coding process and automates coding with near 100% accuracy.
The opportunity
Capture complete documentation and automate coding
Cardiac catheterization lab procedures are among the most complex areas of the hospital to accurately document, code, and bill. Variations in clinical presentations, methods, communication, and documentation styles affect the downstream workflow and coding, and even the most advanced hospitals struggle to capture the right information and revenue.
45%
cardiovascular reports contain coding errors
$8K
average missed reimbursement per under‑coded case
100s
of cases per year pose a compliance risk for the average size hospital
$180
average under‑reimbursement per case (Medicare payment level)
Benefits
Streamline catheterization lab documentation and coding
Nuance Cardiovascular CAPD helps hospitals and providers recognize the full value of every interventional cardiology procedure. By consolidating multiple steps into a single documentation‑to‑coding system, physicians create fully-specified reports with codes generated automatically.
Accelerate the revenue cycle
Consolidate multiple steps into a single documentation‑to‑coding system to accelerate the revenue cycle by a day or more.
Improve efficiency
Reduce time spent on documentation, coding, and billing by 50% with streamlined workflows.
Support compliant coding
Automatically generated codes with near‑100% coding accuracy and alignment on hospital and physician billing codes.

Features
A single system
In a single solution, Nuance Cardiovascular CAPD marries powerful user interfaces to a state‑of‑the‑art coding engine, harnessing ZHealth’s unique insights to improve coding accuracy resulting in a streamlined process.
Anatomical user interface
A physician‑designed anatomical interface lets physicians quickly capture pathology and procedure details.
Coding engine
The finely tuned engine transforms the case description into codes which are kept current with the latest guidelines.
Compliance interface
Coders can view physician documentation and coding output immediately. Inventory discrepancies and day-of-therapy procedures are flagged to ensure accuracy.
Physician reports
Physician reports are generated from the same data as the rest of the case record, eliminating discrepancies. Structured dictation automatically creates high quality narratives with no extra effort.
