The urinalysis performed is described asautomated, without microscopy, which corresponds to CPT81003(urinalysis, automated, without microscopy). CPT81001includes microscopy and is not supported because the question explicitly states “without microscopy.” For diagnosis coding, the providersuspecteda UTI, but the urinalysis is negative andUTI is ruled outas the final diagnosis. Under ICD-10-CM reporting principles, conditions documented asruled outarenot codedin the outpatient/office setting; instead, you code thesigns and symptomsthat prompted the visit and testing. The symptoms documented aredysuriaandlower abdominal pain, which are coded asR30.0andR10.30(as presented in the answer choices). Therefore, the correct combination is81003withR30.0andR10.30only. CPC exam tip: outpatient “rule out” → codesymptoms, not the excluded diagnosis.
