Q:
Procedure Code
1. Simple excision of nasal polyp. 1.
2. Two-year-old Ben is playing with a marble and sticks it in his nose. His mother is unable to dislodge the marble so takes Ben to the physicians office. The physician removes the marble with hemostats. 2.
3. Physician removes fluid from the chest cavity by puncturing through the space between the ribs. Using an aspirating needle attached to a syringe, the physician passes the needle over the top of a rib, punctures through the chest tissues, and enters the pleural cavity. With the end of the needle in the chest cavity, the physician withdraws the fluid from the chest cavity by pulling back on the plunger on the syringe. 3.
4. Endoscopic lobectomy. 4.
5. Endoscopic biopsy of the lung. 5.
6. Insertion of chest tube for pneumothorax. 6.
7. Bronchoscopy with placement of catheter for intracavitary radioelement application. 7.
8. Reshaping of the nasal septum by septoplasty to correct airway obstruction. 8.
9. Physician uses endoscope for diagnostic evaluation of the nose. A polyp is identified and removed using forceps. 9.
10. Drainage of an abscess in the nose via internal approach. 10.
11. Second rhinoplasty with major reconstruction of nasal tip to correct results of an initial rhinoplasty done elsewhere. 11.
12. Surgical thoracoscopy with excision of pericardial tumor. 12.
13. Flexible bronchoscopy with use of laser therapy to relieve stenosis. 13.
14. Diagnostic, indirect laryngoscopy with vocal cord injection of Gelfoam. 14.
15. Implantation of patient-activated cardiac event recorder. 15.
16-17. Five-vessel coronary artery bypass using 2 arteries and 3 vein grafts. 16.
17.
18 -19. Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty of the renal artery. Code the cardiovascular code and radiology code. 18.
19.
20. 72-year-old patient has a tunneled centrally inserted central venous catheter, without pump or port. 20.
21. Direct repair of aneurysm associated with occlusion of the vertebral artery. 21.
22. Single-level, noninvasive physiologic study of arteries of the arm, bilateral. (vascular studies) 22.
23. Duplex scan of aorta, complete study. 23.
24. Insertion of single chamber pacing cardioverter-defibrillator pulse generator. 24.
25. End-stage renal disease requiring an arteriovenous fistula (shunt) using Gore-Tex graft for hemodialysis. Non direct. 25.
