b. E11.8

c. E11.8, Z79.4


d. Z79.4, E11.8 - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔ -a. E11.9, Z79.4




If the type of diabetes mellitus is not documented in the medical record the default is E11.-, Type

2 diabetes mellitus. Code Z79.4, Long term (current) use of insulin, should also be assigned for

patients who take insulin (CMS 2018a, Section I.C.4.a.2, 34).

A 65-year-old male patient is being assessed for possible colon cancer and treated in the special

procedure unit of the hospital. He undergoes a colonoscopy into the ascending colon with biopsy

of a suspicious area in the transverse colon using the cold biopsy forceps. In addition, a colonic

ultrasound of the area is performed, with transmural biopsy of an area of the mesentery adjacent

to the transverse colon. Assign the appropriate CPT codes.

a. 45384, 45342

b. 45380, 45391

c. 45384, 45392

,d. 45380, 45392 - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔ -d. 45380, 45392




Use index entry Colonoscopy, flexible, biopsy to assign CPT 45380 and entry Colonoscopy,

flexible, ultrasound for 45392. The CPT coding guidelines and descriptions of colonoscopy

codes and the Colonoscopy Decision Tree should be referenced for correct coding of these

procedures (AMA CPT Professional Edition 2018, 314-317).

coronary artery disease. How should this be coded?




a. CAD, AMI

b. AMI

c. AMI, CAD


d. Query the physician for the principal diagnosis - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔ -c. AMI, CAD




If a patient with coronary artery disease is admitted due to an acute myocardial infarction (AMI),

the AMI should be sequenced before the coronary artery disease (CMS 2018a, Section I.C.9.b,

44).

A 70-year-old patient was admitted with pneumonia. The history and physical documented that

the patient has a history of diabetes, hypertension, and migraine headache about 10 years ago

,without recurrence. The patient was administered IV antibiotics, metformin, and Altace during

the hospitalization. Which conditions would be reported at the time of discharge?




a. Pneumonia, diabetes, hypertension, and migraine headaches

b. Pneumonia, diabetes, hypertension, and history of migraine headaches

c. Pneumonia, diabetes, and hypertension


d. Pneumonia - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔ -c. Pneumonia, diabetes, and hypertension




Pneumonia, diabetes, hypertension should be coded. The migraine headaches are a past condition

and would not be coded as per the reporting guidelines for the UHDDS for "other conditions"

(CMS 2018a, Section III, 105-106).

A 75-year-old female was admitted for acute myocardial infarction and underwent a diagnostic

cardiac catheterization. Following the catheterization, the patient developed a thrombophlebitis

documented as due to the catheter in the common femoral artery. The thrombophlebitis would be

coded as:




a. T81.718A, Complication of other artery following a procedure, not elsewhere classified, initial

encounter

b. I97.51, Accidental puncture and laceration of a circulatory system organ or structure during a

circulatory system procedure

, c. I72.4, Aneurysm of artery of lower extremity

d. I97.52, Accidental puncture and laceration of a circulatory system organ or structure during

other procedure - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔ -a. T81.718A, Complication of other artery

following a procedure, not elsewhere classified, initial encounter




Thrombophlebitis occurred in the artery where the catheterization was performed and the cause

of the thrombophlebitis is documented as due to the catheterization. Thrombophlebitis resulting

from a procedure is listed as T81.72. When the tabular is reviewed, this code relates to a vein.

The exercise states that the artery is the location of the thrombophlebitis. Therefore a code from

the T81.718 category is used (CMS 2018a, Section I.B.16, 18).

A 75-year-old woman is admitted to the hospital after tripping and falling at home. She
