In the index of the CPT book, you will look up anesthesia, transurethral procedures, which gives you the code range 00910-00918. Turning to the Anesthesia section, where these codes are located, you will see that these codes are for different kinds of transurethral procedures. The question asks for ureteral calculus removal, and the code that matches this is 00918, which is for these kinds of procedures with fragmentation, manipulation, and/or removal of ureteral calculus. Since this is what the question is asking for, this code would be the correct answer. A patient undergoes a relocation of the hip joint after her dislocation of the same joint. Choose the correct anesthesia code. Correct answer: 01200 In the index of the CPT book, you will look up anesthesia, hip, which gives you the code range 01200-01215. Turning to the Anesthesia section, where this range is located, you will see that the range is broken up by what type of procedure was done on the hip. In this case, the procedure done was a relocation of a dislocated hip, so code 01200 would be the correct answer for this question. How is an emergency defined in the anesthesia guidelines? Correct answer: When delay in treatment of the patient would lead to a significant increase in the threat to life or body part The Anesthesia section, like every other section, has a guidelines section. In this section, there is a subsection called qualifying circumstances. These are codes that would be used as add-ons for extreme age or other varying conditions including an emergency situation. And, according to the definition at the bottom of code 99140, an emergency is "defined as existing when delay in treatment of the patient would lead to a significant increase in the threat to life or body part." Therefore, this would be the correct answer to this question. A 71-year-old patient with asthma has to be placed under anesthesia for repairing a tendon in her upper arm. How would the anesthesia part of the procedure be billed? Correct answer: 01714-P2, 99100
