I personally want to thank you for making these videos. I work in the coding world right now. I'm taking the CPC test next month, but your videos is helping me with my problem. I took a lot of notes from your videos.
thank you so much! you're really making it easier to understand how to code. i'm not there yet but going through the questions with you help me get familiar with the guidelines & help me make notes on my book
Question 10. i think the correct ans is B because complicated - Multiple incision , Packing of wound , deep cleaning . so (wound was packed ) is matching
Hi, the procedure described involves a simple incision and drainage without additional complexities, which is why CPT 10080 is the correct code.The presence of packing alone does not necessarily classify a procedure as complicated. A complicated procedure (CPT 10081) typically involves additional factors such as: Multiple sinus tracts,Extensive infection, Placement of a drainage tube and More complex wound management.
When you fast forward to 14:42, you indicated on the previous video, if packing is used it is considered "complicated " however you selected simple for that questions why is that?
Hi , thanks for asking. The right answer is Option-D. Because it includes the size of lesion excision: 5 cm and Rhomboid flap: 10 cm. Therefore, we have to choose 14021.
@@chatteraway7858 according to cpt24 book, page 98 right before the 14000 code, "The primary defect resulting from the excision and the secondary defect resulting from flap design to perform reconstruction are measured together to determine the code." Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm also new to the study of cpt.
I read the questions fr others below regarding the 1st question for 14020 & 14021. I didn't get it as well, initially -why the answer is 14021 when it is for 10.1 to 30.0. But when I reread the ATT explanation in the CPT, it says "the primary defect resulting from the excision & the secondary defect resulting from the flap....are measured together to determine the code". -I'm assuming this is the correct explanation for the code.

Mam i have a doubt in question no 6 where exactly we found that or else gow to remember those questions and question no 10 the below 3 options i didn't found in cpt 2024 integumentary system codes
In question 1) The correct CPT code for the procedure is 14021. This code covers the excision of the basal cell carcinoma along with the use of a rhomboid flap for reconstruction. The excised diameter of "5 cm" and the use of a "10 cm" rhomboid flap align with this code. So it will be 15 cm and the code is 14021- Defect 10.1 to 30.0...
@@CodeMedMastery but i think we shouldn't be adding up the measurements during excision. also if reconstruction is 10 cm,the 5cm excision will be covered within the excision right??
If the procedure involved just a straightforward incision and drainage with wound packing, without extensive removal of tissue or complex closure, it would typically be coded as simple. If the tissue requires excision and is sutured in several layers, it's considered complicated.
Hi , thanks for asking. The right answer is Option-D. Because it includes the size of lesion excision: 5 cm and Rhomboid flap: 10 cm. Therefore, we have to choose 14021.

Hi. If the procedure involved just a straightforward incision and drainage with wound packing, without extensive removal of tissue or complex closure, it would be coded as simple.
Option C is incorrect, because-11750 is not appropriate for the scenario, The procedure involved removing the damaged nail and suturing the nail bed, not the permanent removal of the nail and nail matrix. 11740 is correct for draining blood from under the nail, but the modifier 59 is unnecessary here. The correct modifier should indicate the specific finger, such as F4 for the fourth finger.

Removal of damaged nail means exicision know?
Onychectomy is the surgical removal of a part or the whole toenail or fingernail.
@@CodeMedMasteryk so in this question here not mentioning any term like this if it is surgical removal then it will mention the term right?
Ma'am first question :option B is the right and. Right?
The right answer is Option-D
include excised lesion 5cm then rhomboid flap 10 we add 5+10 =15cm
So right answer is D
in question 1. the correct ans 14020 because the defect is 10 sq cm or less
Even I feel that same thing option B is right
The right answer is Option-D.
Because it includes the size of lesion excision: 5 cm and
Rhomboid flap: 10 cm.
Therefore, we have to choose 14021.
Do we add or multiply excision and flap diameter? Sorry not clear about this question.Can you please explain?
Mam i have a doubt in question no 6 where exactly we found that or else gow to remember those questions and question no 10 the below 3 options i didn't found in cpt 2024 integumentary system codes
Mam 10cm or less than 10cm is 14020 mam ..14021 is from 10.1 cm
In question 1)
The correct CPT code for the procedure is 14021. This code covers the excision of the basal cell carcinoma along with the use of a rhomboid flap for reconstruction. The excised diameter of "5 cm" and the use of a "10 cm" rhomboid flap align with this code.
So it will be 15 cm and the code is 14021- Defect 10.1 to 30.0...
Mam but how we know about 5 cm in exam
@@CodeMedMastery but i think we shouldn't be adding up the measurements during excision. also if reconstruction is 10 cm,the 5cm excision will be covered within the excision right??

Q 10: How to differentiate simple and complicated pilonidal cyst ?
