CPC Exam Dumps : Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam

CPT® code 15786 is used for abrasion treatment of a single lesion (e.g., for keratosis) through techniques like dermabrasion (lightly sanding the skin's surface). When treating multiple lesions in this manner, each lesion treated should be coded individually.

Since the patient has 5 keratosis lesions treated through sanding, 15786 x 5 accurately represents the procedure for each lesion.

Explanation of other options:

A. 15787 x 5: Incorrect because 15787 is designated for dermabrasion of "additional lesions" and would be used in conjunction with 15786, not alone.

B. 15786, 15787: Incorrect, as it does not account for all five lesions treated.

C. 15786, 15787 x 4: Incorrect, as 15787 is used only when performed in addition to 15786, not as a replacement for each additional lesion.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. 15786 x 5, which accurately reports the treatment of all five lesions.

69209 = Cerumen removal using irrigation

69210 = Cerumen removal using instrumentation

Different techniques on different ears require separate codes with laterality modifiers

To determine the correct anesthesia code for a cesarean delivery with specific conditions, we review the following codes:

01961 is defined as "Anesthesia for cesarean delivery only," which aligns with this scenario, as the patient is admitted for a cesarean section.

01960 refers to anesthesia for a vaginal delivery, which does not apply here as the delivery is via cesarean.

01967 is for "Anesthesia for planned vaginal delivery," which also does not apply due to the cesarean route.

01958 is used for planned vaginal delivery that may involve a complicated scenario, but since the procedure is a cesarean section, this code is not appropriate.

Given that the patient is in labor for a cesarean section and has had a previous external cephalic version, 01961 is the correct answer.
