6 Answers to 20 sample test questions for the CPC exam 1. a. The CPT Professional Edition guidelines for anesthesia codes provide reporting instructions for physical status modifiers, add-on codes for qualifying circumstances, and bundled services. The preoperative visit would not be reported due to bundling rules. 2. d. One way to find this answer in the CPT Professional Edition index is under the main term Breast, then Reconstruction, and with free flap. The operating microscope is bundled with this procedure. Notice the parenthetical note following the surgical code. 3. a. It is important to watch the weight and weeks of gestation when reporting ICD-9 codes for premature babies. You can find this instruction with the diagnosis codes for premature or low birth weight newborns. 4. a. Burns to multiple sites in the same anatomic location are reported with a fifth digit of 9 (multiple sites). Additionally, burns with more than one degree by anatomic site are listed to the highest degree. Refer to the ICD-9 guidelines related to burns for further reporting rules. Also, it is important to code for the cause of the burn and place of occurrence. 5. d. According to Chapter 2 in the ICD-9 guidelines, when a patient is being treated with chemotherapy, that code should be listed first, followed by the site being treated. At this point, the primary location is unknown, so code is reported for tracking purposes. 6. b. The description of code G0105 is specific regarding conditions or diagnoses for high-risk patients. 7. d. The CPT Professional Edition subcategory guidelines with initial and continuing intensive care service provide information related to reporting visits per calendar day, age, and weight requirements. 8. a. Refer to the subcategory guidelines in the CPT Professional Edition, which indicate that accession, examination, and reporting are included. The add-on code is reported separately when decalcification is completed. Additionally, the number of specimens is defined in these same guidelines. 9. c. One way to find this answer in the index of the CPT Professional Edition, is under the main term Removal, then Foreign Body, Subcutaneous Tissue, and with Debridement.
7 10. b. Find this answer by reviewing Appendix A in the CPT Professional Edition for definitions of modifiers. 11. b. You can find this answer in the CPT Professional Edition with review of the anatomical illustration of the brain at the beginning of the nervous system. 12. b. You can find this answer in Appendix L, Vascular Families, of the CPT Professional Edition. 13. c. A parenthetical note with this code set indicated that unilateral study should be reported with modifier a. One way to find this answer in the CPT Professional Edition index is under the main term Angiography then Pulmonary. The codes for radiology and injection procedures are listed. Once these are located in the index, cross-reference to ensure code selection. 15. a. One way to find this answer in the CPT Professional Edition index is under the main term Impression, then Maxillofacial, and Palatal Lift Prosthesis. The subcategory guidelines provide direction for reporting these codes. 16. d. You can find this answer in the evaluation and management guidelines of the CPT Professional Edition. 17. b. There are many prefixes, suffixes, and root words listed at the beginning of the CPT Professional Edition in the illustrated anatomical and procedural review section. 18. c. One way to find this answer in the ICD-9 index of diseases and injuries is under Crepitus, then cross-reference to Joint and read the definitions and/or diagnosis codes. 19. a. One way to find this answer in the ICD-9 index of diseases and injuries is under Hernia, hiatal, then cross-reference to this code set and review the codes for definitions. 20. d. One way to select this answer is by breaking down the word and concentrating on the suffixes. The suffix -ostomy or -stoma is the surgical creation of an opening for drainage.
