“What is the E/M code series that would be considered for an initial visit when seeing a patient in an inpatient, psychiatric facility (POS 56)? Would it be a home code CPT 99341 or 99347?”
“The patient is a 47 year old with a soft tissue mass over the distal fibula. It appears to be a gouty tophus and x-rays show no bone involvement. What would be the proper code for surgical debridement/excision of this mass?”
”We’re having a debate on coding for the diagnosis of primus varus versus the diagnosis of hallux valgus. When measuring angles, most patients have both a first intermetatarsal angle greater than 9 degrees (for primus varus) and a hallux abducto valgus angle greater than 15 degrees (for hallux valgus). Would we bill for both diagnosis codes? These are the diagnosis codes we use when billing our Lapidus bunionectomies.”
