Reference no: EM133254605

1. Assign the correct ICD-10-CM code for a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19.

2. Based on the recently released guidelines for COVID-19 infections, a provider should explicitly link the results of the COVID-19 test to the respiratory condition as the cause of the respiratory illness in order to code it as a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. A. True B. False

3. Assign the appropriate ICD-10-CM code for an encounter for antibody testing that is not being performed to confirm a current COVID-19 infection, nor is being performed as a follow-up test after resolution of COVID-19.

4. A patient who is status post colectomy presents with chills, abdominal pain, and fever. On examination, he was found to have feculent wound drainage and the provider diagnosed anastomotic dehiscence of the small bowel to the transverse colon. Assign the correct diagnosis code(s) for an anastomotic dehiscence of the small bowel to the transverse colon.

5. A 68-year-old patient is diagnosed with bilateral lower sacroiliac degenerative joint disease (DJD). Assign the appropriate diagnosis code for bilateral lower sacroiliac degenerative joint disease

6. A 32-year-old patient is admitted for transoral Zenker's diverticulectomy. During surgery, the scope was positioned, and an endovascular gastrointestinal stapler was passed transorally with the staple load in the true esophagus and the anvil in the diverticulum pouch. The stapler was engaged and fired. Repeat endoscopy confirmed the common channel had been appropriately managed with resolution of the Zenker's diverticulum. Assign the correct ICD-10- PCS code for this procedure.

7. A 26-year-old patient with twin pregnancy presented with Twin A in a frank breech position too low in the vagina for a cesarean section. Therefore, a vaginal breech delivery was attempted. The head of Twin A was noted to be entrapped in the cervix so a Duhrssen incision was performed to facilitate delivery. After Twin A was delivered, Twin B experienced recurrent prolonged heart decelerations prompting the decision for cesarean delivery of Twin B. After surgical closure, the cervix was examined and noted to have bleeding from the Duhrssen incision, and the incision was closed with suture. Assign the correct procedure code for a Duhrssen cervical incision.

8. A 45-year-old female patient presents with a painful knee, several months following a right total knee replacement. Arthroscopic manipulation of the right knee to break up the adhesions was performed under anesthesia in the operative suite. Next, arthroscopic inspection revealed peripatellar, suprapatellar, medial and lateral gutter scar tissue, which was removed by nonexcisional debridement. Assign the appropriate procedure code for nonexcisional debridement of the knee.

9. A 23-year-old patient with a history of acute myeloblastic leukemia presented with an intracranial recurrence. An Ommaya reservoir and ventricular catheter was placed for intrathecal delivery of medication. At surgery, the previous twist drill hole in the skull was expanded around the Ommaya reservoir and was able to fit into a bony pocket, but the inner cortical bone was not expanded beyond the twist drill hole. Next, a ventricular catheter was attached to the reservoir and the other end was navigated via the drill hole into the foramen of Monro. Assign the correct procedure code(s) for Ommaya reservoir placement for intracranial medication delivery.

10. A patient, who was diagnosed with stage IV sacral decubitus ulcer with wet gangrene, underwent excisional and nonexcisional debridement, down to and including muscle, fascia, and bone. Assign the appropriate ICD-10-PCS code(s) for excisional and nonexcisional debridement of the same site and depth
