CCS Practice Exam/82 Questions andanswers/100% Verified
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?
S52.101AUnspecified fracture of upper end of right radius, initial encounter
for closed fracture
S52.101BUnspecified fracture of upper end of right radius, initial encounter
for open fracture
S52.001AUnspecified fracture of upper end of right ulna, initial encounter for
closed fracture
S52.001BUnspecified fracture of upper end of right ulna, initial encounter for
open fracture
0PSH0ZZReposition right radius, open approach
0PSK0ZZReposition right ulna, open approach
24670Closed treatment of ulnar fracture, proximal end (eg, olecranon or
coronoid process(es) ); without manipulation
24675Closed treatment of ulnar fracture, proximal end (eg - -Correct
Answer: 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
transection)
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).
-Normal twin delivery at 30 weeks. Both babies were delivered vaginally and
were liveborn. What conditions should have codes assigned?
O30.003Twin pregnancy, unspecified number of placenta and unspecified
number of amniotic sacs, third trimester
O30.009Twin pregnancy, unspecified number of placenta and unspecified
number of amniotic sacs, unspecified trimester
O60.14X0Preterm labor third trimester with preterm delivery third trimester,
not applicable or unspecified
O60.14X1 Preterm labor third trimester with preterm delivery third trimester,
fetus 1
O60.14X2Preterm labor third trimester with preterm delivery third trimester,
fetus
2O80Encounter for full-term uncomplicated delivery
Z3A.3030 weeks gestation of pregnancy
Z37.0Single live birth
Z37.2Twins, both liveborn
a. O80, Z3A.30, Z37.0
b. O30.003, O60.14X0, Z3A.30, Z37.2
c. O60.14X1, O60.14X2 O30.003, Z3A.30, Z37.2
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).
-A patient with acute respiratory failure, hypertension, and congestive heart
failure is admitted for intubation and ventilation. The patient's heart failure is
stable on current medications. What are the correct diagnosis codes and
sequencing?
I10Essential hypertension
I11.0Hypertensive heart with heart failure
I50.9Heart failure, unspecified
J96.00Acute respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or
hypercapnia
J96.20Acute and chronic respiratory failure, unspecified whether with
hypoxia or hypercapnia
, a. J96.00, I11.0, I50.9
b. I50.9, J96.00, I10
c. J96.20, I10, I50.9
d. I50.9, J96.20, I11.0 - -Correct Answer: A
The patient was admitted and treated for respiratory failure. The other
conditions present are also coded. The classification presumes a causal
relationship between hypertension and congestive heart failure unless the
physician documents otherwise (Leon-Chisen 2020, 228-231; CMS 2020a,
Section I.C.10.b., 53, Section I.C.9.a, 46; AHA Coding Clinic 2017 1st Quarter,
47).
-A 64-year-old female was discharged with the final diagnosis of acute renal
failure and hypertension. What coding guideline applies?
a. Use combination code of hypertension and chronic renal failure.
b. Use separate codes for hypertension and chronic renal failure.
c. Use separate codes for hypertension and acute renal failure.
d. Use combination code for hypertension and acute renal failure. - -Correct
Answer: C
There is not a combination code for acute renal failure and hypertension.
Acute kidney failure is not the same as chronic kidney disease (CMS 2020a,
Section I.C.9. 2-3, 46-47; Leon-Chisen 2020, 262).
-A patient was discharged from the same-day-surgery unit with the following
diagnoses: posterior subcapsular, mature, incipient, senile cataract right eye,
diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and was treated for mild acute renal failure.
Which codes are correct?
E11.36Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic cataract
E11.29Type 2 diabetes mellitus with other diabetic kidney complication
E11.9Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications
H25.9Unspecified age-related cataract
H25.21Age-related cataract, morgagnian type, right eye
H25.041Posterior subcapsular polar age-related cataract, right
eyeI10Essential hypertension
I12.9Hypertensive chronic kidney disease with stage 1 through stage 4, or
unspecified chronic kidney disease
N17.9Acute kidney failure, unspecified
a. H25.21, E11.29, I12.9, N17.9
b. E11.36, H25.041, I10, N17.9
c. H25.9, E11.29, I12.9, N17.9
d. H25.041, E11.9, I12.9 - -Correct Answer: B
The patient has posterior subcapsular, mature, incipient, senile cataract right
eye, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, acute renal failure. The hypertension
and diabetes are not related to the renal failure as it is acute and not
chronic. Because of this, no combination code is assigned for hypertension,
