CCS Practice Exam QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS

A 12-year-old boy was seen in an ambulatory surgical center for pain in his right arm. The x-ray showed fracture of ulna. Patient underwent closed reduction of fracture right proximal ulna and an elbow-to-finger cast was applied. What diagnostic and procedure codes should be assigned? S52.101AUnspecified fracture of upper end of right radius, initial encounter for closed fracture S52.101BUnspecified fracture of upper end of right radius, initial encounter for open fracture S52.001AUnspecified fracture of upper end of right ulna, initial encounter for closed fracture S52.001BUnspecified fracture of upper end of right ulna, initial encounter for open fracture 0PSH0ZZReposition right radius, open approach 0PSK0ZZReposition right ulna, open approach 24670Closed treatment of ulnar fracture, proximal end (eg, olecranon or coronoid process(es) ); without manipulation 24675Closed treatment of ulnar fracture, proximal end (eg, olecranon or coronoid process(es) ); with manipulation 25560Closed treatment of radial and ulnar shaft fractures; without manipulation 29075Application, cast; elbow to finger (short arm) a. S52.101A, S52.001A, 0PSK0ZZ b. S52.101B, S52.001B, 0PSH0ZZ c. S52.101B, S52.001B, 25560, 29075 d. S52.001A, 24675 Correct Answer: Correct Answer: D The patient has a fracture of the right proximal ulna and closed reduction is necessary. In the ICD-10-CM Code Book, under Fracture, ulna, proximal, the coder is referred to Fracture, ulna, upper end. The term "manipulation" is used to indicate reduction in CPT. According to CPT guidelines, cast application or strapping (including removal) is only reported as a replacement procedure or when the cast application or strapping is an initial service performed without a restorative treatment or procedure (AMA CPT Professional Edition 2020, 182). (Note: Since this is an ambulatory surgery center case, CPT codes are assigned rather than ICD-10-PCS codes.) A laparoscopic tubal ligation is completed. What is the correct CPT code assignment? 49320Laparoscopy, abdomen, peritoneum, and omentum, diagnostic, with or without collection of specimen(s) by brushing or washing (separate procedure) 58662Laparoscopy, surgical; with fulguration or excision of lesions of the ovary, pelvic viscera, or peritoneal surface by any method 58670Laparoscopy, surgical; with fulguration of oviducts (with or without transection) 58671Laparoscopy, surgical; with occlusion of oviducts by device (eg, band, clip, or Falope ring) a. 49320, 58662 b. 58670 c. 58671 d. 49320 Correct Answer: Correct Answer: B The code that best reports the tubal l
