CPT crosswalk for anesthesia administered during a total knee replacement is 01402.
Although CPT 01991 does describe a nerve block, it is considered monitored anesthesia care because the patient is awake. However, in this scenario, general anesthesia is being used for the primary procedure, and the femoral nerve block is administered for postoperative pain management. Therefore, the nerve block would be billed as CPT 64447 with modifier 59 to indicate that it is separately reportable from the primary procedure. If, on the other hand, the nerve block was being used as a component of the general anesthesia, CPT 64447 would be considered inclusive to the general anesthesia and not reported separately. Ultrasound guidance is not currently bundled with the administration of a nerve block and, when used, should be reported separately with CPT 76942.

A urodynamics study is a diagnostic test to evaluate the function of the bladder. When performed using calibrated equipment, it becomes known as a complex cystometrogram (51726-
51729). In CPT code 51728, a complex cystometrogram is performed in conjunction with voiding pressure studies. In the provider's documentation, the bladder is filled with water, and voiding times and volume are recorded, thus fulfilling the requirements for this code. CPT code 51726 in answers A and B only describe a complex cystometrogram without the voiding pressure studies.
Electromyography (EMG) studies were performed without a needle to evaluate pelvic floor activity and are represented by 51784. An intraabdominal voiding pressure study (51797) can be inferred in that the provider had earlier inserted a rectal catheter and, after instructing the patient to cough, obtained an abdominal pressure measurement. A complex urinary flow study (51741) was performed in obtaining the maximum urinary flow rate through calibrated equipment. This procedure is missing in answers B and C. Modifier TC (indicating only a technical component) is amended on all the procedures because the provider is not interpreting the results to the patient.
Modifiers 51 and/or 59 is not amended on any procedure (A and B) because these are routinely billed together.

A level II HCPC code describes medical devices, supplies, medication, and/or other services that a provider and/or entity used during a service provided to a patient. Advanced life support (ALS) fits this description because it is a set of life-saving protocols administered in transit.
Radiation treatment management and a diagnostic colonoscopy describe a level I HCPC code, otherwise known as a CPT code. If the patient was asymptomatic and the colonoscopy was for screening purposes only, a level II HCPC code could be assigned. However, a diagnostic procedure implies a past medical/family history that puts the patient at risk and/or symptoms that warrant the procedure. A malignant neoplasm describes an ICD-IO-CM code because it is a diagnosis.

CPT guidelines define critical care as an illness or injury that acutely impairs one or more vital organ systems, where there is a high probability of imminent or life-threatening deterioration in the patients condition. Additionally, to report a critical care service, the documentation should provide evidence of high-complexity medical decision-making (e.gendotracheal tube insertion, defibrillation, fluid administration for shock, Narcan, etc.). Answer B is the only option listed that contains documentation to support critical care services.
This male patient has Vyvo life-threatening conditions, in which emergent intervention is provided to prevent further deterioration. In ansvver A the female patient may have a life-threatening condition: however, administering oxygen via a nasal cannula and/or transfusing blood does not qualify as critical care. Management of a patient who receives chronic ventilator therapy is also not considered critical care because the medical decision-making involved in the therapy is quite low.
The care a patient receives after having surgery would be considered routine and postoperative, regardless of where they are sent, unless a complication arises in which one or more of the vital organ systems begins to deteriorate in a fashion that poses a threat to life.

It is common practice to perform both an electrophysiology (EP) study and a cardiac ablation procedure in the same session. These procedures have been bundled in the CPC manual, and the coding of such is dependent on the type of arrhythmia being treated. The EP study and cardiac ablation are not to be reported separately. In this scenario, the patient has atrial fibrillation, which is reported with CPT 93656. When fluoroscopy is used for guidance rather than for diagnostic imaging, it is usually not reported separately from the primary procedure. Moderate sedation can be reported when used, and selection is based on time. CPT 99152 and 99153 are counted in 15-minute intervals. lvVhen the procedure does not fall on a 15-minute interval, it must at least meet the halfway point of the time stated to be reported.
