1/ Using the coding techniques described in this
chapter, carefully read through the case study and determine the
most accurate CPT code(s) and HCPCS code(s) and
modifier(s), if appropriate. Answer the question as it guides you
through the coding process.
Ira Morgan, a 16-month-old male, was brought to radiology for a
real-time, limited, static ultrasound of his hips.

2/ Dr. Logan saw Jason Miolo, a 38-year-old
male, with a swollen right eye and loss of vision. Dr. Logan
ordered a CT with contrast of the right eye and area, which
revealed marked proptosis of the right orbit, thrombosis, and
enlargement of the right superior ophthalmic vein.

through the coding process.
William Browne, a 15-year-old male, is brought into Dr.
Jenkins’s office with severe right leg pain. Dr. Jenkins takes
x-rays of his right femur, AP and PA, to determine whether or not
Bill’s leg is fractured.

4/ Using the coding techniques you have learned,
carefully read through the case study and determine the most
accurate procedure code(s) and modifier(s), if
appropriate.
Be sure to list the codes, one code per box, in the correct
sequence, from top to bottom, and in the proper row.
Capitalization, punctuation, and spacing can impact whether or not
your answer is correct. Follow coding best practices. Please list
modifiers with the code they relate to as necessary. Include a
hyphen in between the code and the modifier. Example Procedure:
43846-74 or for Anesthesia: 00797-P2.
KINSEY IMAGING CENTER
951 SYDNEY STREET • SOMEWHERE FL 32811 • 407-555-3573
PATIENT: TREMONT, GARETT
ACCOUNT/EHR#: TREMGA001
DATE: 11/05/18
EXAMINATION: Chest and abdomen
CLINICAL HISTORY: Fever
CHEST: AP supine and lateral films
demonstrate no evidence of alveolar infiltrate or consolidation or
pleural effusion. The mediastinal structures are not enlarged.
There is very mild increase in central bronchovascular markings.
There is no evidence of focal destructive bone lesion.
IMPRESSION: No infiltrate.
ABDOMEN: Supine and erect films
demonstrate mild to moderate dilatation of loops of small bowel
with short air/fluid levels on the erect film. The large bowel is
within normal limits in size but is visualized to the level of the
splenic flexure. There is no air visualized in the remainder of the
colon. The findings are not specific but consistent with ileus.
Further clinical correlation is advised. There is no evidence of
focal destructive bone lesion. There is no suspicious calcification
in the upper abdomen.
IMPRESSIONS: Abdominal bowel pattern, not
specific, consistent with ileus.
