4. WHAT IS DIFFERENT BETWEEN BIOPSY CODES located in integumentary system and those found in the musculoskeletal section?

The biopsy codes found in integumentary are only codes related to malignant neoplasm

There are no biopsy codes found in the musculoskeletal section

The biopsy codes in the integumentary system are specifically for biopsies of the skin and subcutaneous structures, including bone. On the other hand, the biopsy codes in the musculoskeletal section are for deeper structures, such as bones.

Explanation

The biopsy codes in the integumentary system are specifically for biopsies of the skin and subcutaneous structures, including bone. On the other hand, the biopsy codes in the musculoskeletal section are for deeper structures, such as bones.

5. The patient returns to physician's office one month later for the removal of the cast on her left lower arm. The original attending physician removed the cast the physician also examined the arm and determined no further follow up needed. What is the appropriate code for the service?

25250

99213

No code would be reported

29799

454545

No code would be reported because the physician only removed the cast and examined the arm, but no further follow-up or treatment was needed. Therefore, no specific service or procedure code needs to be reported for this encounter.

Explanation

No code would be reported because the physician only removed the cast and examined the arm, but no further follow-up or treatment was needed. Therefore, no specific service or procedure code needs to be reported for this encounter.
