AAPC CPC Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Procedure Code:

90945 – Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), daily

Includes repeated low-level E/M monitoring

Correct for CVVH

Diagnosis Codes:

I10 – Essential hypertension

N18.9 – Chronic kidney disease, unspecified

Why others are incorrect:

90935 / 90937 – Intermittent hemodialysis

90947 – Pediatric CRRT

ICD-9 codes (112.9, 110) are invalid

Autopsy CPT coding is based on theextent of the examination(gross only vs gross and microscopic) and whether special anatomic components (such asbrain and spinal cord) are included. The question states the pathologist performedboth gross and microscopicexamination and explicitly included thebrain and spinal cord, which indicates acomprehensive autopsyservice rather than a limited or gross-only autopsy. CPT88028represents a complete autopsy with gross and microscopic examination that includes examination of the central nervous system structures (brain and spinal cord) as part of the comprehensive scope. The other codes listed represent different autopsy levels or components that do not match the “gross and microscopic” plus CNS inclusion described. CPC exam approach: anchor first ongross + microscopic(not gross-only), then look for wording that indicates acomplete autopsy. When the stem highlights “brain and spinal cord,” it is signaling the higher-complexity comprehensive autopsy code selection. Therefore,88028is the correct CPT code.

The procedure described is flexible bronchoscopy with bronchial biopsy (biopsy taken from the bronchi/bronchial tubes).

31625 = Bronchoscopy, flexible, with biopsy (single or multiple)

Important CPC concept: when the CPT® descriptor is “single or multiple”, you code it once, even if multiple biopsies are taken.

31628 is for transbronchial lung biopsy, which is not what is described (the question specifies bronchial tubes/bronchial biopsies).Therefore, A is correct.
