WHAT ARE THE ICD-10-CM and CPT CODE???
Scenario 2 S - A 60-year-old female presents today for care of
painful calluses and benign lesions. O - On examination, the
patient has bilateral bunions at the first metatarsophalangeal
joint. She states that they do not hurt. No pain appears to be
produced by active or passive range of motion or palpation and
direct pressure of the first metatarsophalangeal joint bilaterally.
The patient has a bilateral pinch callus on the medial aspect of
both great toes and there are calluses along the medial aspect of
the right foot. She has a small intractable plantar keratoma,
plantar to her left second metatarsal head, which measures 0.5 cm
in diameter. This is a central plug. She also has a very, very
painful lesion plantar to her right fourth metatarsal head which
measures 3.1 x 1.8 cm in diameter. This is a hyperkeratotic lesion
that extends deep into the tissue with interrupted skin lines. A -
1. Bilateral bunions. 2. Calluses. 3. Heloma durum. 4. Painful
plantar lesions. P - Aseptic technique was used. The feet were
scrubbed with Hibiclens. Topical anesthetic was applied and the
benign lesion on the plantar aspect of the left foot was excised.
Blood loss was minimal. Hemostasis was achieved and the wound was
dressed with Neosporin ointment and absorbent dressing. The benign
lesion on the plantar aspect of the right foot was excised as well.
Blood loss was minimal. Hemostasis was achieved and the wound was
dressed with Neosporin ointment and absorbent dressing. The heloma
durum was shaved bilaterally. The patient tolerated the procedure
well. She was informed that she needs orthotics, but she says she
cannot afford them. I have recommended to the patient that she stop
wearing the small old dress shoes that she is wearing today and
obtain a good pair of support athletic-type shoes such as Reebok.
Follow-up is every three months or whenever needed
