AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam Sample Questions (Q69-Q74):NEW QUESTION # 69
A 65-year-old man had a right axillary block by the anesthesiologist. When the arm was totally numb, the arm was prepped and draped, and the surgeon performed tendon repairs of the right first, second, and third fingers.
The anesthesiologist monitored the patient throughout the case.
What anesthesia code is reported?
  • A. 01820
  • B. 01810
  • C. 01840
  • D. 01830
Answer: D
Explanation:
* The anesthesia code for an axillary block for procedures on the upper arm and elbow, which includes the monitoring by the anesthesiologist throughout the procedure, is 01830. This code is appropriate for anesthesia for all procedures on nerves, muscles, tendons, fascia, and bursae of the shoulder and axilla.

NEW QUESTION # 70
A three-year-old patient is in the operative suite for stage 2 of treatment for double right outlet syndrome. The patient previously had the pulmonary artery banded and is returning for removal of the pulmonary band and transposition repair of the great vessels via aortic pulmonary reconstruction.
The surgeon performs a time-out and pre-incision review of respiration and BP then the previous sternal incision site is inspected and lightly painted with povidone. Next, reopens the sternal cavity and inserts central cannulae in the IVC, SVC and ascending aorta for extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) bypass, chemical cardioplegia is initiated, stopping the heart and ECMO is initiated. A physician assistant monitors vitals and oxygenation until heart function resumes. The surgeon carefully incised and removes the Dacron band encircling the pulmonary artery, with nominal need for dilation. A section of coronary ostia is removed and sutured to the root of the pulmonary trunk. The pulmonary trunk and aortic root are then transected and transposed to allow for ideal cardiac circulation. Once structural integrity is visually confirmed, the physician assistant is permitted to administer the cardioplegia reversal solution and the surgeon removes the central cannulae after heart function safely resumes. The sternotomy is closed and the patient is transported to the NICU.
What CPTcodes are reported for the surgery today?
  • A. 33779-58, 33955-58, 33985-58
  • B. 33779-78, 33953-78, 33985-78
  • C. 33778-78, 33953-78, 33985-78
  • D. 33778-58, 33955-58, 33985-58
Answer: B
Explanation:
1. Procedure Details and CPTCode Selection:
The patient is undergoing stage 2 treatment for double outlet right ventricle (DORV) with a removal of the pulmonary artery band and transposition repair of the great vessels.
Code 33779 is specific for correction of a double outlet right ventricle, with transposition of the great arteries.
This code accurately reflects the procedure performed, including the complex repair involving the transposition of the pulmonary trunk and aortic root.
Code 33953 is used to report the initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which was used to maintain oxygenation during the procedure.
Code 33985 is for the termination of ECMO following the surgical repair once heart function has resumed.
Both 33953 and 33985 accurately document the initiation and termination of ECMO during this complex heart repair.
2. Modifier Selection:
Modifier 78 (unplanned return to the operating room for a related procedure during the postoperative period) is appropriate here. This is a subsequent stage in the treatment plan, but due to the complexity and specific surgical intervention required, it is treated as a return to the OR for related procedure coding.
Modifier 58 (staged or related procedure during the postoperative period) would not be as suitable here because the procedure involves a new return to the OR.
3. AAPC and CPTCoding Guidelines:
AAPC guidelines support the use of specific modifiers (78 for unplanned return) and appropriate ECMO codes (33953 and 33985) in complex cardiac cases requiring bypass and staged treatment.
Thus, the correct CPTcodes based on CPTand AAPC coding standards are C. 33779-78, 33953-78,
33985-78.

NEW QUESTION # 71
A 16-year-old female just moved to the area and is living in a campground with her parents. She has several medical conditions and the parents are unable to take her to a physician's office. A physician sees the patient in the campground and documents a medical decision making of moderate complexity. After the visit, the physician spends an additional 25 minutes in a prolonged discussion with the patient's parents; he reviews complex and detailed medical records from her previous physicians and completes a comprehensive treatment plan. A care plan with the local hearth agency and a dietician is initiated.
What E/M coding is reported for this visit?
  • A. 0
  • B. 1
  • C. 99344,99417
  • D. 99204,99417
Answer: C
Explanation:
Service location = campground → domiciliary/home visit
Patient is new
99344 = New patient domiciliary visit, moderate MDM
Prolonged Services:
Additional 25 minutes beyond base time
99417 is used for prolonged services with office/home E/M codes
Why others are incorrect:
99349 - Established patient
99204 - Office visit (wrong location)

NEW QUESTION # 72
A patient with three thyroid nodules is seen for an FNA biopsy. Using ultrasonic guidance, the provider inserts a 25-gauge needle into each nodule. Nodular tissue is aspirated and sent to pathology.
What CPT coding reported?
  • A. 10021, 10004 x 2, 76942
  • B. 10005, 10006 x 2, 76942
  • C. 10005, 10006 x 2
  • D. 10006 x 3
Answer: C
Explanation:
The CPT code 10005 is for fine needle aspiration biopsy, including ultrasound guidance, for the first lesion. CPT code 10006 is for each additional lesion with ultrasound guidance. Since the provider aspirated tissue from three nodules, the coding should be 10005 for the first nodule and 10006 x 2 for the additional two nodules.

NEW QUESTION # 73
Miranda is in her provider's office for follow up of her diabetes. Her blood sugars remain at goal with continuing her prescribed medications.
When referring to the MDM Table in the CPTcode book for number and complexity of problems addressed at the encounter, what type of problem is this considered?
  • A. Acute, uncomplicated illness or injury
  • B. Stable, chronic illness
  • C. Minimal problem
  • D. Stable, acute illness
Answer: B
Explanation:
1. Problem Type Selection:
Miranda is following up on her diabetes, which is a chronic condition. Her blood sugars are controlled, indicating that the condition is stable with her current medication regimen.
Stable, chronic illness is defined in the CPTMDM (Medical Decision Making) Table as a chronic condition that is under control and not currently worsening, even if ongoing management is required. This aligns with the patient's diabetes being well-managed with her prescribed medications.
2. Rationale for Excluding Other Options:
A: Acute, uncomplicated illness or injury is not applicable as diabetes is a chronic condition, not an acute issue.
B: Minimal problem refers to conditions that are minor or self-limited and typically require little to no treatment, which does not apply to chronic conditions like diabetes.
D: Stable, acute illness would refer to an acute condition that has stabilized, whereas diabetes is a chronic condition, not acute.
3. AAPC and CPTCoding Guidelines:
According to the CPTMDM Table, a "Stable, chronic illness" is the correct classification for a follow-up encounter on a controlled chronic condition like diabetes.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. Stable, chronic illness.
