CPC Exam Dumps : Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam

Burn coding requires (1) code each burn site bylocation, laterality, and degree, and (2) add aTBSAcode when appropriate. The patient hasthird-degree burnsof both thighs (right and left), so the correct site/degree codes areT24.311A(third-degree burn of right thigh, initial encounter) andT24.312A(third-degree burn of left thigh, initial encounter). He also hassecond-degree burnsof the right anterior chest wall and the upper back, reported withT21.21XA(second-degree burn of chest wall, initial encounter) andT21.23XA(second-degree burn of back wall, initial encounter). TBSA is24%(falls in the 20–29% category), andthird-degree is 10%(falls in the 10–19% third-degree category), so the correct TBSA code isT31.21. Option D matches the required site/degree codes and the correct TBSA/third-degree percentage code pairing.

20552 = Injection(s); single or multiple trigger points, 1–2 muscles

Total muscles injected = 2 (trapezius + pectoralis)

Number of injections does not determine code selection—number of muscles does
