index look for diabetes, diabetic (mellitus) (sugar)/ due to underlying
condition/with ketoacidosis/with coma E08.11. In the tabular list under
category code E08 an instructional note indicated to code the underlying
condition first. In the table of neoplasms look for neoplasm,
neoplastic/pancreas/body and select the code guidance under category code
E08 to use additional code for patients who routinely use insulin. Report
code Z79.4 which is found in the alphabetic index under long term (current)
(prophylactic) drug therapy (use of) insulin directing you to code Z79.4.

• A patient was treated in the emergency department for a nasal fracture.
Bleeding was controlled, a splint applied, and the patient sent home. He
returned to the ED several hours later with new bleeding from both nares
due to the fracture. The ED provider has to repack the nose and insert new
splints to stabilize the fracture. What ICD-10-CM code(s) is/are reported for
the second ED visit? a. T79.2XXA, S02.2XXA b. S02.2XXS c. R04.0 d.
S02.2XXD, T79.2XXD.
Answer: A. T79.2XXA, S02.2XXA The patient is seen for the second time
in the ED for continued care of a nasal fracture. Look in the ICD-10-CM
alphabetic index for hemorrhage, hemorrhagic/traumatic/recurring or
secondary (following initial hemorrhage at the time of injury) which guides
you to T79.2-. Next look for fracture, traumatic/nasal (bones) which guides
you to code S02.2. Per ICD-10-CM guideline I.C.19.a.7, 7th character A for
initial encounter is used for each encounter when the patient is receiving
active treatment. Examples are of active treatment are surgical treatment,
emergency department encounter, and evaluation and continued treatment
by the same or different provider. Because the patient is seen for the second
time inthe ED for continued care of the fracture, 7th character A is used for
each code. Placeholder X is needed for the 5th and 6th characters.

• A 70-year-old with significant pelvic prolapse and grade IV cystocele who
has failed previous primary repair and is status post hysterectomy. She
presents for anterior repair and colpopexy. Procedure: Patient placed in the
dorsal lithotomy position and general anesthetic was induced without
problems. A midline incision is made from just above the bladder neck to
the vaginal cuff. She is noted to have a grade IV cystocele. Vaginal flaps
were dissected to the level of the pubocervical fascia. Her vaginal mucosa
was in good condition but near the urethra and bladder neck it was a little
thinner. There is significant scarring on the left side from previous
procedures. Ishcial spine is identified and swept fiber fatty tissue off of the
sacrospinous ligament bilaterally. No scarring or adhesions in this area.
Anterior needles were passed into place on the elevate mesh and these were
fixed in a manner similar to the MiniArc. They were passed along just
below the bladder neck toward the obturator foramen and fixed in place. An
anterior support was created without tension at the vesicourethral junction.
Apical needles were then used to pass the apical arms into place. There were
gently fixed into place along the sacrospinous ligament approximately 2cm
away from the ischial spine. This was done bilaterally. They passed in a
single pass and were fixed in place confirmed by gentle tugging on both
arms. Three Vicryl sutures had been placed and the vaginal apex were then
passed over into the mesh and tied down. The apical arms were placed
through the eyelets of the mesh and passed down toward the sacrospinous
ligament bilaterally to create good apical support. Eyelet fasteners placed
bilaterally and mesh arms trimmed providing excellent apical and anterior
support. Vaginal mucosa was closed and vaginal packed placed. No
complications. What CPT® code(s) describe(s) this procedure? A. 57250,
57280 B. 57240, 57282 C. 57240, 57283 D. 57250, 57283 View Rationale.
