BC3020: Week 1 - Coding Application TEST
About
The coding application provides you the opportunity to apply the coding skills you’ve learned this week. As the
courses progress and your skills increase, the rigor of the coding application will increase as well. Every professional
coder will tell you the more you code, the better coder you become so practice, practice, practice.
To do well on the coding application, you must read the assigned chapters and complete the exercises in your
textbook. It is recommended that you look over the questions before reading the case scenario to give you an idea of
what information you will be asked to answer. Be sure to read every question completely as some are asking for a
written response while others are asking you to assign a code. Steps for Coding
Steps for correct CPT coding:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9. Determine the procedure, test, or service to be coded
Identify all terms
Locate each main term in the Alphabetic Index
Review and select the subterms indented below the main term
Note the code number(s) found opposite the selected main term or subterm
Verify the code in the Tabular List
Review coding notes and coding conventions
Determine modifiers when applicable
Repeat steps for additional code(s) Steps for correct ICD coding:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8. Identify all terms in the diagnosis
Locate each main term in the Alphabetic Index.
Refer to any subterms indented under the main term.
Follow cross-reference instructions if the needed code is not located under the first main entry consulted.
Verify the code in the Tabular List.
Read and be guided by any instructional terms in the Tabular List.
Assign codes to the highest level of specificity.
Code the diagnosis until all elements are completely identified. (See next page to continue) BC3020: Week 1 - Coding Application TEST
Coding Test: 45 points Directions: Read the following Case Scenario
Using your ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS coding manuals, answer the questions in Parts 1 through 4
below. CASE SCENARIO:
LOCATION: Inpatient, Hospital
PATIENT: Mike Bahas
ATTENDING PHYSICIAN: Loren White, MD
CONSULTANT: Timothy Pleasant, MD
REASON FOR CONSULTATION: Rule out neck injury.
HISTORY: This patient is a 17-year-old male who was involved in a motor vehicle accident last night. He
remembers driving down the road and the next thing he remembers was trying to reach for his cell phone at a
stop sign after the accident. He does not remember any of the details. The car apparently went off the road
and hit a tree. The patient is amnesiac for the event but does not believe he lost consciousness. His vehicle was
apparently traveling 35-40 miles an hour. There was no report that he was ejected from the vehicle.
PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: He had childhood asthma.
MEDICATIONS: None.
ALLERGIES: None.
FAMILY HISTORY: Noncontributory to the present problem.
SOCIAL HISTORY: He chews tobacco. Alcohol use is rare.
EXAMINATION: Vital signs show he is afebrile. Pulse 64. Blood pressure 110/50. Neurologic: He is awake, alert,
and fully oriented. His cranial nerves are grossly intact. HEENT: His extraocular movements are full. His eyes are
conjugate. His pupils are equal. His facial strength is intact. On motor examination, he has grossly normal
motor strength bilaterally in the upper and lower extremities. His reflexes are normal and symmetric at the
biceps, triceps, and brachioradialis. The ankle jerks and the knee jerks are normal and symmetric. Gait is not
tested. Sensory examination is grossly intact to light touch. Spine examination: The patient’s cervical collar was
removed. He has no tenderness to palpation of the cervical spine whatsoever.
The x-rays of the cervical spine, as well as the CT scan of the cervical spine, were reviewed. No fractures or
subluxations are noted. CT scan of the head was reviewed, and it is negative for any intracranial pathology.
IMPRESSION/PLAN: In summary, we have a 17-year-old male involved in a motor vehicle accident. He has a
mild concussive head injury, as evidenced by his amnesia, and I believe he did lose consciousness for a brief
period; however, the exact amount of time for his loss of consciousness is unknown. There is no evidence of
any cervical spine injury. The patient is neurologically normal. He does not need to wear a cervical collar. I
explained to him and his mother, Gloria, that if the patient develops any weakness, numbness, or tingling in
the arms or legs, trouble with his balance, sleepiness, vomiting, weakness of one side of the body, or any other
symptoms, they should call their physician immediately.
I want to thank Dr. White for asking me to see this patient. BC3020: Week 1 - Coding Application TEST
