Abnormal chest x-ray
Z00.00
R90.0
R91.8
Z00.01 - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-R91.8
,Rationale: Since the chest x-ray was only stated as
"abnormal," a code for nonspecific abnormal findings of
lung field, code R91.8
A patient with severe mental retardation and cerumen
impactions in both ears was unable to be cleared in the
office. Using surgical instrumentation, the canal was
cleared of impacted cerumen bilaterally.
69200
69210
69210-50
69205-50 - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-69210-50
Rationale: Assign code 69210-50 for bilateral removal of
impacted cerumen. Cerumen was cleared with surgical
instrumentation and, therefore, was assigned code
69210. The remaining selections are for removal of a
foreign body of the external ear and, therefore, not
appropriate.
,Gastroscope was introduced through the mouth and
passed into the stomach, through the pylorus and into
the second portion of the duodenum. Just inferior to the
Z-line, a small polyp was identified and cold biopsied.
Rectal exam was performed, and colonoscope was
advanced to the cecum. Multiple sessile polyps were
removed utilizing snare and cauterized. There were two
other tiny polyps that were ablated due to their size.

45388, 45385-51, 43239
45385, 45384-51, 43235
45385, 45388-51, 43239 - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-45388,
45385-51, 43239
Rationale: A total of three (3) procedures were
performed, therefore, three (3) CPT codes would be
assigned. Both colonoscopy and
esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) were performed.
The colonoscopy involved fulgurating polyps (45388) and
polypectomy by snare (45385-51). The cauterization of
the snared polypectomy is not separately reportable to
, control bleeding created by the excision. An EGD was
also performed with biopsy, which would be assigned
43239.
The remaining selections did not include the fulguration
of polyps and, therefore, would not be correct.
A 67-year-old patient with known CAD and a history of
MI was admitted for CABG. A portion of the right radial
vein was procured for bypass grafting, and then
proceeded to perform two coronary venous bypass
grafts.

33511
33510, 33534
33510, 35500 - ✔✔ANSWER ✔✔-33511, 35500
Rationale: Assign one code for the vein grafting, 2 vessels
(code 33511), as well as a code for harvesting the radial
vein (code 35500).
