Meg Combatti 5/3/2022 HIM-215 Journal 1-3 Scenario 1: Provider performs a chest x-ray A chest x-ray is a procedure that is done and because of this, using a CPT code would be the correct code process to use . The main terms is chest x-ray Using the SelectCoder tool, the CPT code for chest x-ray is 3006F . Scenario 2: Patient presents with severe chest congestion, and after review of chest x-ray, it is determined that the patient has pneumonia . This scenario states that a patient is getting a chest x-ray done which would qualify as a CPT code to be used as it is a procedure happening. This patient is also said to have pneumonia which would be grounds for an ICD-10 Diagnosis . The main terms are chest x-ray and pneumonia . According to our text, “ICD-10-CM is a morbidity classification published by the United States for classifying diagnosis and reason for visits in all health care settings.” (Johnson, 2016 ( Johnson also states, “ICD-10-CM also requires assignment of the most specific code to represent the diagnosis or problem being treated by the provider. This means the primary or first- listed diagnosis should be the one for the reason the patient sought medical care ”. In this scenario, the primary first listed diagnosis would be the fact that the patient
presented with severe chest congestion. When using the SelectCoder tool, it wouldn ’t give me a straight code for chest congestion. But after searching the different terms that can go together to form a code, I think the correct ICD-10-CM would be R09.89, which is “ Other specified symptoms and signs involving the circulatory or respiratory systems ”. Using the SelectCoder tool, the CPT code for chest x-ray is 3006F . References Johnson, S. L., & Linker, R. (2016). Understanding Medical Coding: A Comprehensive Guide (4th Edition).
