CPC Exam Dumps : Certified Professional Coder (CPC) Exam

This is anestablished patient office visitcoded byMDM(or time, but time is not provided). Problems:one acute, uncomplicated illness(URI) → supportslowproblem complexity. Data: no labs/imaging ordered or reviewed →minimal/nonedata. Risk: although a prescription is given, MDM level is determined by2 of 3elements (Problems, Data, Risk). Here, only the risk might approach moderate due to prescription management, butproblems and data remain low/minimal, so the overall MDM doesnotmeet moderate. Therefore, the visit is best supported atlow MDM, which corresponds to99213for an established patient. It is more than minimal (99212) because a focused exam and management plan are documented, but it does not meet the higher complexity required for 99214/99215 (multiple problems, significant data review, or high-risk management). CPC exam focus: don’t let a single element (like antibiotics) automatically “force” a higher code—MDM requires meeting the level intwo elements.

To determine the correct anesthesia code for a cesarean delivery with specific conditions, we review the following codes:

01961 is defined as "Anesthesia for cesarean delivery only," which aligns with this scenario, as the patient is admitted for a cesarean section.

01960 refers to anesthesia for a vaginal delivery, which does not apply here as the delivery is via cesarean.

01967 is for "Anesthesia for planned vaginal delivery," which also does not apply due to the cesarean route.

01958 is used for planned vaginal delivery that may involve a complicated scenario, but since the procedure is a cesarean section, this code is not appropriate.

Given that the patient is in labor for a cesarean section and has had a previous external cephalic version, 01961 is the correct answer.
