    Code anesthesia for procedures on bony pelvis.

    • 00400

    • 01170

    • 01120

    • 01190

    Correct Answer
    A. 01120
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 01120. This code represents the anesthesia for procedures on the bony pelvis. Anesthesia is often required for surgeries or procedures involving the pelvis to ensure that the patient remains comfortable and pain-free during the operation. Code 00400 is for anesthesia for procedures on the spine and spinal cord, 01170 is for anesthesia for procedures on the urinary system, and 01190 is for anesthesia for procedures on the female genital system. None of these codes specifically match the given scenario of procedures on the bony pelvis, making 01120 the correct answer.

    • 72156

    • 72142

    • 72149

    • 72126

    Correct Answer
    A. 72142
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 72142. This code represents an MRI of the cervical spine without contrast. Since the patient is status post automobile accident, it is important to evaluate the cervical spine for any potential injuries or abnormalities. However, in this case, the MRI is performed without contrast, which means that no dye or contrast agent is used to enhance the visibility of certain structures or abnormalities. This code accurately describes the procedure performed in this scenario.
