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?

closed fracture

open fracture

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

,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: B
The code that best reports the tubal ligation is 58670 Laparoscopy, surgical; with
fulguration of oviducts because there are no clips or excision of lesion
completed during the procedure (CPT Assistant Nov. 1999, 29; March 2000, 10).

d. O80, O30.009, Z3A.30, Z37.2 - ✔✔Correct Answer: C
A code for preterm labor and delivery is assigned for each fetus since both
babies were born preterm as noted in Coding Clinic. Additionally, a code from
category O30, Multiple gestations, must be assigned (Leon-Chisen 2020, 325;
AHA Coding Clinic 2016 2nd Quarter, 10-11).
