CPC Exam Dumps : Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam

47563: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cholangiography is coded as 47563. The report details the laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder with intraoperative cholangiography.

74300-26: The radiological supervision and interpretation for the cholangiography is coded as 74300 with modifier -26 (Professional Component) since the interpretation was done by the physician.

1. Procedure and CPT® Code Selection:

The physician administered the MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) vaccine subcutaneously and dose 3 of Hepatitis B vaccine intramuscularly. The physician also provided counseling on routine immunizations.

CPT® Code 90460 is used for immunization administration with counseling by the physician for patients 18 years or younger for the first or only component of each vaccine.

CPT® Code 90461 is used for each additional component in a vaccine with counseling.

90710 is the code for the MMRV vaccine.

90744 is the code for the Hepatitis B vaccine (pediatric).

2. Application of 90460 and 90461:

For the MMRV vaccine (which has four components: measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella), 90460 is reported once for the first component, and 90461 is reported three times (once for each additional component).

For the Hepatitis B vaccine, 90460 is reported again since it is a separate vaccine with one component.

3. Rationale for Excluding Other Options:

Option A (90471, 90472 x 4, 90707, 90746) uses codes for vaccine administration without counseling and incorrect vaccine codes (90707 for MMR instead of MMRV and 90746 for adult Hepatitis B instead of pediatric).

Option B and Option D also contain incorrect vaccine codes and do not correctly apply the counseling administration codes.

4. AAPC and CPT® Coding Guidelines:

According to AAPC guidelines, 90460 and 90461 are the appropriate administration codes for vaccines with counseling provided to pediatric patients, with each component of a multi-component vaccine coded separately.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 90460 x 2, 90461 x 3, 90710, 90744.

Procedure Coding (CPT®):

69910 – Labyrinthectomy, complete; transmastoid approach

Provider performed:

Mastoidectomy

Complete destruction/removal of semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule

This is a complete labyrinthectomy, not partial

69990 – Microsurgical techniques, requiring use of operating microscope

Separately reportable with otologic procedures

Modifier -51 not required (add-on code)

Diagnosis Coding (ICD-10-CM):

H81.391 – Peripheral vertigo, right ear

Correct laterality and condition

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

69905 – Partial labyrinthectomy

R42 – Symptom code (dizziness), not used when definitive diagnosis exists
