NEW QUESTION # 122
A patient is evaluated in the clinic. Documentation states: "HIV positive, gravida 1 at 24 weeks." Which of the following conditions will be coded and in which sequence based on the documentation?
Answer: B
Explanation:
In outpatient coding, selection and sequencing must follow ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, including obstetric chapter rules. When HIV is documented in a pregnant patient, the pregnancy complication code is sequenced first because the pregnancy status frames the encounter and drives the obstetric complication coding structure. The phrase "HIV positive" (without documentation of HIV-related illness or "HIV disease") is treated as asymptomatic HIV infection status, which aligns with the status concept rather than active HIV disease. Therefore, the correct approach is to code pregnancy complicated by asymptomatic HIV first (obstetric complication category), followed by the HIV status code to fully describe the condition affecting the pregnancy. Options that place "pregnancy" second do not follow obstetric sequencing conventions, and options that assume "HIV disease" overstep the documentation because "HIV positive" alone does not confirm symptomatic HIV disease. Outpatient CDI best practice would be to query if the provider intends HIV disease versus asymptomatic status, but based strictly on the given statement, pregnancy with asymptomatic HIV is most appropriate.
NEW QUESTION # 123
The primary purpose of the RADV program is to
Answer: C
Explanation:
RADV (Risk Adjustment Data Validation) is a CMS audit program used in Medicare Advantage to confirm that diagnoses submitted for risk adjustment are supported by medical record documentation and meet reporting requirements. Its central aim is payment integrity-ensuring that risk-adjusted capitation payments to Medicare Advantage organizations are accurate based on valid, documented conditions. In outpatient CDI practice, RADV risk underscores why documentation must clearly support each reported diagnosis (e.g., condition evaluated/assessed/treated, clinically relevant, and properly documented by an eligible provider), because unsupported diagnoses can lead to payment recoupment and compliance exposure. RADV is not designed to assess medical necessity of the services provided (that is typically addressed through utilization review and other payer audits), nor is it focused on identifying overpayments to individual physicians (it targets plan-level risk adjustment payments). It also is separate from E/M leveling accuracy, which is governed by CPT/E/M guidelines and distinct audit processes. Therefore, the best definition of RADV's primary purpose is ensuring the integrity and accuracy of risk-adjusted payments.
NEW QUESTION # 124
In February, a patient is diagnosed with prostate cancer, which is classified as HCC 23. In October, the patient is diagnosed with prostate cancer with bone metastases, which is classified as HCC 18. Which of the following is true about the patient's risk score?
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the CMS-HCC model, many related conditions are organized into hierarchies so that only the most severe manifestation within a disease family contributes to the RAF. This prevents double counting when multiple codes describe progressive severity of the same underlying condition. Cancer categories are a common example: a diagnosis reflecting metastatic disease represents substantially higher expected resource utilization than a diagnosis of localized/primary malignancy. In this scenario, the February prostate cancer maps to a lower-severity HCC (HCC 23), while the October documentation of prostate cancer with bone metastases maps to a higher-severity HCC (HCC 18). When both are captured within the applicable period, the hierarchy logic retains the higher-weighted metastatic category and suppresses the lower category. The timing of which was coded first does not control the hierarchy outcome, and both HCCs are not counted together when they fall within the same hierarchical grouping. Therefore, the patient's risk score calculation reflects HCC 18 rather than HCC 23.
NEW QUESTION # 125
A patient is seen at the clinic for a fever, and the provider documents possible Zika virus. A CDI specialist reviews the record and notes that a positive serology test indicates the Zika virus. Which of the following should the CDI specialist do NEXT?
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the outpatient setting, diagnoses documented as uncertain (e.g., "possible," "probable," "suspected," "rule out") are generally not coded as confirmed conditions; instead, coding is based on confirmed diagnoses or, when not confirmed, the presenting signs/symptoms. Here, the provider documented only "possible Zika," which is not a confirmed diagnosis for outpatient reporting. Even though the CDI specialist sees a positive serology result, lab data alone does not replace provider diagnostic confirmation in the assessment/plan. The appropriate next step is to query the provider to confirm whether Zika is the established diagnosis based on the positive test (and whether it is clinically addressed during the encounter). If confirmed, Zika can be coded appropriately and sequenced based on the reason for the visit; if not confirmed or still under evaluation, the symptom (fever) remains first-listed. Option B is incorrect because coders do not "code the result" of a serology test as a diagnosis; they code the condition the test supports once clinically confirmed.
NEW QUESTION # 126
A patient with a PMH of DM, GERD, and HTN is seen in the clinic with complaints of stuffy nose, fever, and feeling tired for the past four days. The patient's medication list includes SSI, Prilosec, and Diovan. The provider documented: "Congestion, fever, malaise, DM, GERD, HTN. Continue OTC medications for congestion and fever. Rest. Return to the clinic in one week if symptoms persist." Which of the following ICD-10-CM guidelines BEST applies to how this scenario should be coded?
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the outpatient setting, when the provider does not document a definitive diagnosis for the acute complaint (e.g., influenza, sinusitis, URI), ICD-10-CM guidance directs coders to report the signs and symptoms that are documented and addressed. Here, the clinician documents congestion, fever, and malaise and provides treatment instructions for those symptoms (OTC meds, rest, follow-up). That makes the symptom codes the most appropriate representation of the reason for the encounter. Outpatient CDI principles further emphasize that chronic conditions like DM, GERD, and HTN should only be coded when the documentation shows they were evaluated, monitored, assessed/managed, or treated during the visit (e.g., status, control, medication adjustment, related testing, counseling). In this note, the plan targets only the acute symptoms and does not demonstrate active management of the chronic conditions beyond listing history/medications. Therefore, the guideline most directly applicable to correct coding of the encounter is codes that describe symptoms and signs.
