CPC Exam Dumps : Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam

C2617 = Implant, sinus, drug-eluting, absorbable

Procedure Coding:

44970 – Laparoscopic appendectomy

Appendix removed via scope through umbilical incision, confirming laparoscopic approach

Diagnosis Coding:

K35.32 – Acute appendicitis with perforation and localized peritonitis, without abscess

Documentation supports ruptured (perforated) appendicitis

No abscess documented

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

B – Signs/symptoms (R11.2, R10.31) not coded once definitive diagnosis is established

C – 44960 = open appendectomy (not performed)

D – 44950 = open appendectomy, diagnosis code incorrect

ICD-10-CM Guideline Reference:

Do not code symptoms when a definitive diagnosis is confirmed.

The correct J codes are selected based on the specific medications administered and their quantities:

J2405 represents "ondansetron, 1 mg," and since the patient received a 2 mg dose, J2405 is reported once with a quantity of 2 mg.

J1885 represents "ketorolac tromethamine, 15 mg," which matches the single 15 mg dose administered to the patient, so J1885 is reported once.

Each J code is billed according to the precise dosage given, as no multipliers are required beyond the single-unit codes provided in choice A, making it the correct answer.
