S06.0X1A = Concussion with brief LOC

V40.5XXA = Driver injured in collision with fixed object

V47.5XXA = Car accident, driverExternal cause codes correctly describe mechanism and role.

ICD-10-CM guidelines state that healing pressure ulcers are coded as the stage documented.

L89.624 = Pressure ulcer of left heel, stage 4

Stage 4 ulcers involve full-thickness tissue loss and are commonly referenced in exam scenarios involving treatment of healing ulcers

Unspecified stage or laterality codes are not appropriate when documentation supports specificity.

Frozen section pathology coding rules:

88331 – Frozen section, first tissue block, each specimen

88332 – Frozen section, each additional tissue block, same specimen

Breakdown:

Specimen 1

Block 1 → 88331 × 1

Block 2 → 88332 × 1

Specimen 2

Block 1 → 88331 × 1

Block 2 → 88332 × 1

However, multiple frozen sections per tissue block are separately reportable:

Total first blocks = 4 frozen sections → 88331 × 4

Total additional blocks = 3 frozen sections → 88332 × 3

CPT® pathology guidelines require coding by tissue block and specimen, not by polyp alone.
