CHAPTER 14 STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS VERIFIED A+ Sciatic - correct answers-Which nerve is the largest nerve of the body? Vertebra - correct answers-What is not a region of the spinal cord nerve segments? G89.11, M54.2 Rationale: The scenario documents the patient has acute neck pain due to an MVA accident (trauma). In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Pain(s)/acute/due to/trauma directing you to code G89.11. ICD-10-CM coding guideline I.C.6.b.1.(ii) indicates that codes from G89 are reported as the primary code if the encounter is for pain control or pain management and may be used in conjunction with codes identifying the site of pain. In the Alphabetic Index locate Pain/neck NEC and you're directed to M54.2. In the Tabular List, code M54.2 is Cervicalgia which is the medical term for neck pain. - correct answers-A 27 year-old had an MVA accident a couple days ago and sees his primary care physician for pain management for acute pain in his neck since the accident. Select the ICD-10-CM code(s). E10.52 - correct answers-A 65 year-old patient with type 1 diabetes may need left lower leg amputation due to diabetic gangrene. Select the ICD-10-CM code(s) to report. 95955-26 - correct answers-A 50 year-old with left internal carotid artery stenosis presents for a left carotid thromboendarterectomy with electroencephalogram monitoring. Electroencephalogram (EEG) leads were placed on his head prior to surgery. Throughout the procedure, EEG patterns were symmetrical. What CPT® code is reported for this EEG Monitoring? 63005 Rationale: Only a laminectomy with decompression is performed. There is no documentation to indicate a facetectomy, foraminotomy, or discectomy was performed. Look in the CPT Index for Laminectomy/for Decompression/Lumbar or Decompression/Spinal Cord. Verify code selection in the Nervous System section. - correct answers-A patient has severe spinal stenosis between L3-L5 inferior to disc space. A laminectomy is performed on L4 along with a decompression of L3-L4 and L4-L5. What CPT® code is reported for this surgery? 62362, 62350-51 - correct answers-A 59 year-old female with failed back syndrome has undergone a recent test dose of intrathecal narcotics with good pain response. She is brought to the operating room for preparation and insertion of Medtronic programmable pain pump and intrathecal catheter. What CPT® codes are reported for this surgery? 99212-24 Rationale: Even though the patient is in a post-operative period from surgery, the physician can bill this E/M visit and append modifier 24. The examination is unrelated to the nerve repair surgery. Modifiers 55 and 54 are only appended to surgical procedure codes not Evaluation and Management services. - correct answers-A patient sees her physician for follow-up of a repaired damaged nerve to her finger.
