NEW QUESTION # 318

What CPT codes are reported?

Answer: C


NEW QUESTION # 319
View MR 002395
MR 002395
Operative Report
Pre-operative Diagnosis: Acute rotator cuff tear
Post-operative Diagnosis: Acute rotator cuff tear, synovitis
Procedures:
1) Rotator cuff repair
2) Biceps Tenodesis
3) Claviculectomy
4) Coracoacromial ligament release
Indication: Rotator cuff injury of a 32-year-old male, sustained while playing soccer.
Findings: Complete tear of the right rotator cuff, synovitis, impingement.
Procedure: The patient was prepared for surgery and placed in left lateral decubitus position. Standard posterior arthroscopy portals were made followed by an anterior-superior portal. Diagnostic arthroscopy was performed. Significant synovitis was carefully debrided. There was a full-thickness upper 3rd subscapularis tear, which was repaired. The lesser tuberosity was debrided back to bleeding healthy bone and a Mitek 4.5 mm helix anchor was placed in the lesser tuberosity. Sutures were passed through the subcapulans in a combination of horizontal mattress and simple interrupted fashion and then tied. There was a partial-thickness tearing of the long head of the biceps. The biceps were released and then anchored in the intertubercular groove with a screw. There was a large anterior acromial spur with subacromial impingement. A CA ligament was released and acromioplasty was performed. Attention was then directed to the supraspinatus tendon tear. The tear was V-shaped and measured approximately 2.5 cm from anterior to posterior. Two Smith & Nephew PEEK anchors were used for the medial row utilizing Healicoil anchors. Side-to-side stitches were placed. One set of suture tape from each of the medial anchors was then placed through a laterally placed Mitek helix PEEK knotless anchor which was fully inserted after tensioning the tapes. A solid repair was obtained. Next there were severe degenerative changes at the AC joint of approximately 8 to 10 mm. The distal clavicle was resected taking care to preserve the superior AC joint capsule. The shoulder was thoroughly lavaged. The instruments were removed and the incisions were closed in routine fashion. Sterile dressing was applied. The patient was transferred to recovery in stable condition.
What CPT coding is reported for this case?

Answer: C

Explanation:
29827: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is correctly coded as 29827.
29828: Arthroscopic biceps tenodesis is an additional procedure and should be coded as 29828 with modifier -51 (Multiple Procedures).
29824: Arthroscopic claviculectomy (partial resection of the distal clavicle) is coded as 29824 with modifier -51.
29826: Arthroscopic subacromial decompression, including coracoacromial ligament release, is coded as 29826.
All these procedures were performed arthroscopically and documented in the operative report, justifying the use of these codes and the use of modifier -51 for multiple procedures.

NEW QUESTION # 320
A patient presents with keratosis lesions on her left cheek, above the left eyebrow, and on the chin area. The dermatologist treats those areas by lightly sanding the surface of a total of 5 lesions.
What CPTcoding is reported?

Answer: D

Explanation:
CPTcode 15786 is used for abrasion treatment of a single lesion (e.g., for keratosis) through techniques like dermabrasion (lightly sanding the skin's surface). When treating multiple lesions in this manner, each lesion treated should be coded individually.
Since the patient has 5 keratosis lesions treated through sanding, 15786 x 5 accurately represents the procedure for each lesion.
Explanation of other options:
A: 15787 x 5: Incorrect because 15787 is designated for dermabrasion of "additional lesions" and would be used in conjunction with 15786, not alone.
B: 15786, 15787: Incorrect, as it does not account for all five lesions treated.
C: 15786, 15787 x 4: Incorrect, as 15787 is used only when performed in addition to 15786, not as a replacement for each additional lesion.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 15786 x 5, which accurately reports the treatment of all five lesions.


NEW QUESTION # 321
The patient came in with an inflamed seborrheic keratosis on her nose for a shave removal. After applying local anesthesia, a 0.7 cm dermal lesion was removed using an 11 blade.
What CPT and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?

Answer: D

Explanation:
Shave removal → CPT 11300-11313, not excision (11400-11646).
Face (nose) → 11310-11313
0.6-1.0 cm → 11311
Inflamed seborrheic keratosis → L82.0


NEW QUESTION # 322
A provider orders liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) definitive drug test for a patient suspected of acetaminophen (analgesic) overdose. What CPT code is reported for the test?

Answer: B

Explanation:
Frozen section pathology coding rules:
88331 - Frozen section, first tissue block, each specimen
88332 - Frozen section, each additional tissue block, same specimen
Breakdown:
Specimen 1
Block 1 → 88331 × 1
Block 2 → 88332 × 1
Specimen 2
Block 1 → 88331 × 1
Block 2 → 88332 × 1
However, multiple frozen sections per tissue block are separately reportable:
Total first blocks = 4 frozen sections → 88331 × 4
Total additional blocks = 3 frozen sections → 88332 × 3
CPT pathology guidelines require coding by tissue block and specimen, not by polyp alone.
