The code I10 represents essential (primary) hypertension, N18.9 represents chronic kidney disease, and I24.9 represents other forms of acute ischemic heart disease. Therefore, I12.9 is the most accurate code for a patient diagnosed with hypertension and chronic kidney disease.Rate this question:

- C.
Both A and B
- D.
None of the Above

The statement mentions that the delivery was complicated by a first-degree tear of the perineum, indicating that this is the primary issue that needs to be addressed and treated. The other option, "Outcome of Delivery - Single Live Birth," is not the principal diagnosis as it is a general description of the outcome rather than a specific medical condition.Rate this question:

These complications may require additional treatment or management. Therefore, "complications" is the most appropriate answer in this scenario as it aligns with the definition and purpose of combination codes.Rate this question:

- A.
Following utilization of resources, preventing healthcare fraud, and determining health policy
- B.
Assessing reasons for hospital visits, reporting vaccinations, and creating an anonymous medical report

- D.
Tracking infant deaths, planning a healthcare delivery system, and checking costs of healthcare in different areas
Correct Answer
D. Tracking infant deaths, planning a healthcare delivery system, and checking costs of healthcare in different areasExplanation
The ICD-10 is used for tracking infant deaths, planning a healthcare delivery system, and checking costs of healthcare in different areas. This coding system allows for the collection of data on infant deaths, which can help identify patterns and trends in order to develop strategies for prevention. It also helps in planning healthcare delivery systems by providing information on the prevalence and distribution of diseases and conditions. Additionally, the ICD-10 allows for the comparison of healthcare costs in different areas, which can inform policy decisions and resource allocation.Rate this question:

What code would be reported when a newborn is seen in the pediatrician’s office because of a white coating on the inside of the mouth? Physician documentation indicates a diagnosis of candidiasis.
- A.
P37.5 Neonatal candidiasis
- B.

- C.
B37.9 Candidiasis, unspecified
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. P37.5 Neonatal candidiasisExplanation
The correct answer is P37.5 Neonatal candidiasis. This code is appropriate because it specifically identifies the condition as neonatal candidiasis, which matches the physician's documentation of a white coating on the inside of the mouth. The other options, B37.0 Candidal stomatitis and B37.9 Candidiasis, unspecified, do not specify that the condition is neonatal, which is important for accurate coding in this case.Rate this question:

Find the correct code : The patient is seen for a prenatal visit at 12 weeks. She states she is doing well. During the exam, a fetal heartbeat cannot be found.
- A.
Z38.1
- B.
O02.9
- C.
O02.1
- D.
O0.0
Correct Answer
C. O02.1Explanation
The correct answer is O02.1. This code is appropriate because it represents a missed abortion, which occurs when a fetus dies in utero but is not expelled. In this scenario, the absence of a fetal heartbeat during a prenatal visit suggests a missed abortion. The other options (Z38.1, O02.9, and O0.0) do not accurately reflect the situation described.Rate this question:

Surgical aftercare codes:
- A.
Are generally first listed and explain the reason for the encounter
- B.
Only one aftercare code may be listed per claim
- C.
Aftercare codes are conditions the patient has had in the past but no longer exist
- D.
Aftercare codes do not exist in ICD-10 and the acute code should be listed with a 7th character describing the encounter
Correct Answer
A. Are generally first listed and explain the reason for the encounterExplanation
Surgical aftercare codes are generally first listed and explain the reason for the encounter. This means that when coding for surgical aftercare, the aftercare code should be listed before any other codes to indicate that the encounter is for the purpose of providing follow-up care after a surgical procedure. The aftercare code helps to explain the reason for the encounter and distinguishes it from the initial surgical procedure.Rate this question:
