CPC Exam Dumps : Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam

Injection of atropine: Atropine is administered to reduce sialorrhea.

Bilateral submandibular salivary glands: The physician administers the injections into the salivary glands.

Total of four glands: Indicates that multiple glands are treated in the same session.

CPT code 64611 accurately represents chemodenervation of the salivary glands, bilateral. The use of -50, -52, or x4 modifiers is not appropriate since CPT guidelines include bilateral procedures in this code without needing additional modifiers or codes.

Omalizumab is a drug reported withHCPCS J2357, and the dose is converted into billable units based on the code’s unit definition. In CPC-style questions,150 mgis commonly represented asJ2357 × 30 units(i.e., 5 mg per unit → 150/5 = 30). Administration is atherapeutic subcutaneous injection, reported with96372(therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection; subcutaneous or intramuscular). Vaccine administration codes (90460/90471) are not appropriate because omalizumab is not a vaccine. For diagnosis, the statement includesstatus asthmaticusbut does not specify severity category (mild/moderate/severe persistent). In the options provided,J45.902is the “unspecified asthma with status asthmaticus” concept, whereas J45.52 requires severe persistent asthma with status asthmaticus (not documented). Therefore, the correct pairing is96372 + J2357 × 30 + J45.902. CPC exam tip: match administration code type (therapeutic injection vs immunization) and choose the most specific ICD-10-CM supported by documentation.

The knee joint consists of three primary compartments:

1. Medial compartment: The inside part of the knee, which includes the femur and tibia interaction on the inner side.

2. Lateral compartment: The outside part of the knee, where the femur and tibia meet on the outer side.

3. Patellofemoral compartment: The area between the patella (kneecap) and the femur.

These three compartments are essential for knee joint stability and function, allowing movement and weight-bearing activities.

B. Trochlea groove and vestibular are not associated with knee anatomy.

C. Posterior malleolus, scapula, and fibular facet do not relate to knee compartments; the malleolus is in the ankle, scapula in the shoulder, and fibular facet is not part of the primary knee compartments.

D. Cochlea is unrelated to knee anatomy and refers to a part of the inner ear.

Thus, the correct answer is A. Medial, lateral, and patellofemoral.
