AAPC CPC Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

For a procedure involving the placement of a 6-French sheath and catheter into the coronary artery, advancing to the left ventricle, performing ventriculography with power injection of contrast agent, obtaining pressures in the left heart, and imaging the coronary arteries, the correct CPT® code is 93458. This code includes all the components of the described procedure.

Esotropia of the right eye: Indicates strabismus surgery is required.

Resection of medial rectus horizontal and lateral rectus muscles: Specific muscles addressed during the surgery.

Adjustable sutures: Used in securing the muscles, indicating specific techniques.

Extensive scar tissue from previous surgery: Requires additional work and isolation.

CPT codes 67314 and 67334 are used to report the resection of two muscles with adjustable sutures (67314) and surgery on an extraocular muscle involving extensive scar tissue (67334).

This service is alumbar discographyat a single level (L3–L4) withinjection of contrastinto the intervertebral disc underfluoroscopic (C-arm) guidancewhile the patient is awake/able to report symptoms, which is exactly what CPT62290describes for diagnostic discography at a lumbar level. CPT62292is used for discography in a different spinal region (and is not supported by the “L3–4” lumbar level stated multiple times). The post-discography CT scan is referenced as planned/reviewed but is not clearly documented as performed/interpreted as part of this same physician service in the stem, and it is not part of the answer choices. For ICD-10-CM, the confirmed postoperative finding is “normal discography,” but the reason for the study remains the patient’slow back painand suspected stenosis; in outpatient/procedural settings you code thereason for the testwhen the definitive suspected condition is not confirmed. Here, the stenosis was ruled out (“no evidence”), so donotcode spinal stenosis; reportM54.50for low back pain. Therefore,62290 with M54.50is correct.
