CPC Exam Dumps : Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam

For a patient diagnosed with sepsis and associated acute respiratory failure, the ICD-10-CM codes are:

A41.9: Sepsis, unspecified organism.

R65.21: Severe sepsis with septic shock.

J96.00: Acute respiratory failure, unspecified whether with hypoxia or hypercapnia.

These codes appropriately capture the severity of the sepsis and the presence of acute respiratory failure.

The emergent endovascular repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with an aorto-aortic tube endograft is coded with CPT 34702. This code includes the deployment of the endograft and the necessary balloon angioplasty for sealing the proximal and distal attachment zones.

A tympanoplasty repairs aperforated tympanic membrane. The key phrase “doesnotremove the mastoid” means this istympanoplasty without mastoidectomy, which is correctly represented by69631in the answer set. Codes that include mastoid work (or represent different tympanoplasty variants) are incorrect because the documentation explicitly states the mastoid was not removed. Diagnosis coding should reflect both thechronic otitis mediaand theperforation. In the options,H66.92represents otitis media (as offered) andH72.92represents perforation of the tympanic membrane (as offered). Although the clinical story specifies the left ear, the provided diagnosis options do not include laterality; on CPC-style questions, you choose the best match among the answer choices. Therefore, the correct combination within this question’s choices is69631 with H66.92 and H72.92, matching tympanoplasty without mastoidectomy plus the documented conditions.
