CPC Exam Dumps : Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam

For a follow-up examination after the removal of polyps with no new polyps found, the appropriate diagnosis codes are:

Z09: Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm.

Z86.010: Personal history of colonic polyps.

Using Z09 indicates that the follow-up exam is to check the patient after treatment, and Z86.010 indicates a history of colonic polyps, which is relevant to the patient's medical history.

This scenario describes acytogenetic-type analysis targetingchromosomal abnormalities, performed using fluorescence-based microscopy techniques (commonly conceptually aligned with FISH-type evaluation). The question explicitly states thatno specific CPT code accurately describes the service, which signals that anunlistedcode is required. In CPT, the88299code is the unlisted procedure code forcytogenetic studies, used when a chromosomal/genetic laboratory procedure does not have a more specific existing CPT descriptor. The other unlisted options correspond to different laboratory sections:84999is an unlisted chemistry procedure,88199is an unlisted cytopathology procedure, and88749is not the correct unlisted cytogenetics code for this context as presented. CPC exam technique: match thedomainfirst (chromosomes → cytogenetics), then select the appropriateunlisted code within that domainwhen the stem says no specific CPT code exists. Proper use of unlisted codes also implies documentation of method, purpose, and comparables for payer review, but the test asks only for the correct unlisted CPT code.

The anesthesia code for an axillary block for procedures on the upper arm and elbow, which includes the monitoring by the anesthesiologist throughout the procedure, is 01830. This code is appropriate for anesthesia for all procedures on nerves, muscles, tendons, fascia, and bursae of the shoulder and axilla.
