NEW QUESTION # 178
A patient who is 37 weeks' gestation is admitted to labor and delivery for a cesarean delivery. An external cephalic version was performed successfully several days ago and she now presents in labor, fully dilated, and the fetus has returned to a footling presentation.
What anesthesia code is reported?
Answer: D
Explanation:
To determine the correct anesthesia code for a cesarean delivery with specific conditions, we review the following codes:
01961 is defined as "Anesthesia for cesarean delivery only," which aligns with this scenario, as the patient is admitted for a cesarean section.
01960 refers to anesthesia for a vaginal delivery, which does not apply here as the delivery is via cesarean.
01967 is for "Anesthesia for planned vaginal delivery," which also does not apply due to the cesarean route.
01958 is used for planned vaginal delivery that may involve a complicated scenario, but since the procedure is a cesarean section, this code is not appropriate.
Given that the patient is in labor for a cesarean section and has had a previous external cephalic version,
01961 is the correct answer.
NEW QUESTION # 179
A 35-year-old female has cancer in her left breast. The surgeon performs a mastectomy, removing the breast tissue, skin, pectoral muscles, and surrounding tissue, including the axillary and internal mammary lymph nodes.
Which mastectomy code is reported?
Answer: C
Explanation:
For a mastectomy that involves removing the breast tissue, skin, pectoral muscles, and surrounding tissue, including the axillary and internal mammary lymph nodes, the appropriate CPT code is:
* 19306: Mastectomy, radical, including pectoral muscles, axillary lymph nodes.
This code captures the extent of the surgery, including the removal of the breast tissue, skin, pectoral muscles, and lymph nodes.
References:
* CPT Professional Edition (current year)
* Surgery guidelines for mastectomy procedures
NEW QUESTION # 180
A patient suffering from idiopathic dystonia is seen today and receives the following Botulinum injections:
three muscle injections in both upper extremities and seven injections in six paraspinal muscles.
How are these injections reported according to the CPT guidelines?
Answer: A
Explanation:
For the injections, CPT code 64642 is used for chemodenervation of one extremity; 64643 for each additional extremity, and 64647 for chemodenervation of muscles in the paraspinal region. The modifier -50 is added to 64642 and 64643 to indicate bilateral procedures. According to CPT guidelines, when multiple sites are treated, each site is coded separately, and appropriate modifiers are used.References: AMA's CPT Professional Edition (current year), Surgery section, Nervous System.
NEW QUESTION # 181
Patient with erectile dysfunction is presenting for same day surgery in removal and replacement of an inflatable penile prosthesis.
What CPTcode is reported for this service?
Answer: C
Explanation:
1. Procedure and CPTCode Selection:
The scenario describes the removal and replacement of an inflatable penile prosthesis due to erectile dysfunction.
CPTCode 54416 is specifically used for the removal and replacement of a multi-component inflatable penile prosthesis. This code accurately describes the procedure performed.
2. Rationale for Excluding Other Options:
Code 54401 represents the initial insertion of a multi-component inflatable penile prosthesis but does not cover removal and replacement, making it inappropriate for this scenario.
Code 54400 is for the insertion of a non-inflatable (malleable) penile prosthesis, which does not apply here as the prosthesis is inflatable.
Code 4417 does not exist in the CPTcoding system and is likely a typo or incorrect option.
3. AAPC and CPTCoding Guidelines:
According to AAPC and CPTguidelines, 54416 is the correct code when an inflatable prosthesis requires both removal and replacement, without the need for additional modifiers for this procedure.
Therefore, the correct answer based on CPTguidelines is D. 54416.
NEW QUESTION # 182
A patient presents to the urgent care facility with multiple burns acquired while burning debris in his backyard. After examination the physician determines the patient has third-degree burns of the left and right posterior thighs (10%). He also has second-degree burns of the anterior portion of the right side of his chest wall (8%) and upper back (6%). TBSA is 24% with third-degree burns totaling 10%.
What ICD-10-CM codes are reported, according to 1CD-10-CM coding guidelines?
Answer: C
Explanation:
In coding burns, ICD-10-CM guidelines indicate that each burn site is coded separately, specifying the degree, location, and extent of the burn. Additionally, a code for total body surface area (TBSA) burned is included when burns cover more than 10% of the body. Here's the breakdown:
1. T24.311A: Represents a third-degree burn on the left thigh, initial encounter.
2. T24.312A: Represents a third-degree burn on the right thigh, initial encounter.
3. T21.21XA: Represents a second-degree burn on the anterior chest wall, initial encounter.
4. T21.23XA: Represents a second-degree burn on the upper back, initial encounter.
5. T31.21: Represents burns with 20-29% TBSA involvement, with third-degree burns covering 10-19% of the TBSA.
Explanation of incorrect answers:
A includes an incorrect TBSA code (T31.21).
B has the correct codes but lists an incorrect TBSA code for third-degree burns.
C uses incorrect burn site codes for the areas involved and incorrect TBSA percentages.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. T24.311A, T24.312A, T21.21XA, T21.23XA, T31.21, which accurately captures the burns' degrees, locations, and TBSA.
