Module 05 Written Assignment - Coding Audit Instructions: Each operative report audit is worth a potential 10 points. Points in parentheses are for each operative report. This assignment is worth a total of 30 points. Read each operative report and review the assigned codes.
Identify the error in code assignment (3 points)
Identify the coding guideline or instructional note that applies and explain why the code(s) should or should not be reported as listed (3 points)
Explain in a few sentences the impact of reporting the code(s) incorrectly. Think about reimbursement, compliance, coder performance, reporting, and any other processes that are affected by
coding. (4 points)
Operative report #1 PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES:
1. Interstitial cystitis.
2. Urethral stenosis.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES:
1. Interstitial cystitis.
2. Urethral stenosis.
Procedures:
1. Cystoscopy.
2. Urethral dilation and hydrodilation.
Description of Procedure:
Urethra was tight at 26-French and dilated with 32-French. Bladder neck is normal. Ureteral orifice is normal size, shape and position, effluxing clear bilaterally. Bladder mucosa is normal. Bladder capacity is 700 mL under anesthesia. There is moderate glomerulation consistent with interstitial cystitis at the end of hydrodilation. Residual urine was 150 mL.
The patient was brought to the cystoscopy suite and placed on the table in lithotomy position. The patient was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A 21 Olympus cystoscope was inserted and the bladder was viewed with 12- and 70-degree lenses. Bladder was filled by gravity to capacity, emptied and again cystoscopy was performed with findings as above. Urethra was then calibrated with 32-French. The patient was taken to the recovery room in stable condition.
The CPT codes reported were 0TJB8ZZ,OT7D8ZZ
.
The CPT codes reported were: 52000, 52281
•
Identify the error in code assignment (3 points) •
Code OTJB8ZZ should not be coded The root operation and cystoscopy for inspection should be
coded separately
.
•
Identify the instructional note or coding guideline that applies and explain why the code(s) should or should not be reported as listed (3 points) •
Guidline B3.11A
•
Explain in a few sentences the impact of reporting the code(s) incorrectly. Think about reimbursement, compliance, coder performance, reporting, and any other processes that are affected by coding. (4 points) •
Coding incorrectly impact the patient care, can effect the insurance or any payment if the coder coded wrong.
Operative report #2 PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Right nasal lacrimal duct obstruction.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Same.
PROCEDURE: Right dacryocystorhinostomy.
INDICATIONS: The patient is a 42-year-old lady with the chronic epiphora from the right eye. This has been
worked up by the Ophthalmology Dept. and the diagnosis of functional nasolacrimal duct obstruction was
made. A dacryocystorhinostomy was indicated.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: After general endotracheal anesthesia was established, the patient's face
was prepped and draped in a sterile field. A curvilinear incision was made at the right medial canthus. This
was deepened down to the nasal bone. Then using a Freer elevator, the periosteum was reflected laterally
exposing the lacrimal fossa and posterior aspect of the lacrimal sac. Using a burr, a 1 cm. opening was made
in the lateral nasal bone obliterating also the lacrimal crest. The nose had previously been packed with
cocaine soaked cottonoids. An opening was then made in the nasal mucosa. The puncta were then dilated
with a series of lacrimal probes. With a probe in place through the lower punctum, the back wall of the
lacrimal sac was opened. The contents of the sac were clear. There was no evidence of tumor in the sac.
The opening in the sac was then enlarged and Quickert-Dreyden tubes were passed through both puncta
through the opening into the nose. The tubes were then tied within the nose with a silk suture and cut
short and allowed to retract in the nose. The skin incision was then closed with running 6-0 nylon suture.
Bleeding throughout the procedure was controlled with bipolar cautery. A corneal shield was placed during
the procedure to protect the globe. The patient tolerated this procedure well. Blood loss was negligible.
She was taken to the recovery room in good condition.
The correct CPT code for the operation stated in question 2is 68761, which means to Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).
The CPT Codes reported were: 68810-50, 68720-50
•
Identify the error in code assignment (3 points) •
The mistake of CPT codes 68810-50 and 68720-50 are for the operation performed. These codes has different operation that are not unique to a dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), which was the primary surgery
.
•
Identify the instructional note or coding guideline that applies and explain why the code(s) should or should not be reported as listed (3 points)
•
CPT codes 68810-50 and 68720-50 were incorrectly assigned. Bundled procedures and included services within a complte process are coding rules. the codesshould not be reported separtely since they are essential to the primary operation dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and are not payable independently under coding rules.
•
Explain in a few sentences the impact of reporting the code(s) incorrectly. Think about reimbursement, compliance, coder performance, reporting, and any other processes that are affected by coding. (4 points)
•
Incorrect coding affects reimbursement, complaince, and coder performance, generating billing difficulties, fines, record errors, and adminstrative disruptions.
Procedure note #3
Chief Complaint: Lump, left ear.
History, Physical, and Treatment:
This 20-year-old male notes a lump which has developed anterior to his left ear over the last week. It is
painful to him. Denies fever or chills. States he had a problem similar to this in the past.
Inspection of the ear area reveals a 2 cm size lump just in the pre-auricular area of the external ear. It is
tender to palpation, it is fluctuant. No cellulitis or erythema is present. Area was cleansed, local infiltration
with 1% Xylocaine for anesthesia was performed. Area was incised with a #11 blade. A large amount of
purulent material was expressed. Samples taken for culture and sensitivity. Loculations were broken up.
Incision was irrigated and Iodoform was packed. Bandaid applied.
The patient also complained of pain in the left ear. Impacted cerumen was noted. This was removed with a
cerumen spoon without difficulty. Routine ear wash was advised. Patient is to return tomorrow for removal
of packing.

Diagnosis:
Infected abscess, left ear. Incised and drained.
The CPT Code reported was: 69000-LT CPT 69000-LT means " Drainage of infection; external ear. " This code appears acceptable for the
incision and drainageof the left ear abscess, where liquid occurred, cultures were taken, and the area
was irrigated and seal the classification is for external ear infection drainage, which meets the
treatment.
•
Identify the error in code assignment (3 points) •
There are no obvious mistakes in the 69000-LT code assigment.
•
Identify the instructional note or coding guideline that applies and explain why the code(s) should or should not be reported as listed (3 points)
•
The operationn "Drainage of abscess; external ear ; is coded 69000-LT to appropriately indicate
the left ear abscess incision and drainage. The code follows the method and does not break any guidelines.
•
Explain in a few sentences the impact of reporting the code(s) incorrectly. Think about reimbursement, compliance, coder performance, reporting, and any other processes that are affected by coding. (4 points)
•
Coding errors affect reimbursement, compliance, and medical records. Financial impacts, compliance issues, coder accuracy, and patient history misrepresentation may influence future care choices.

CarpetPlus sells and installs floor covering for commercial buildings. Brad Sweeney, CarpetPlus account executive, was just awarded the contract for five jobs. Brad must now assign a CarpetPlus installation crew to each of the five jobs. Because the commission Brad will earn depends on the profit CarpetPlus makes, Brad would like to determine anassignment that will minimize total installation costs. Currently, five installation crews are available for assignment. Each crew is identified by a color code, which aids in tracking ofjob progress on a large white board. The following table shows the costs (in hundreds of dollars) for each crew to complete each of the five jobs:

A hotel chain based in the United States contracts with a European vacuum cleaner manufacturer to supply a large number of upright
cleaner units. After delivery, the hotel raises questions about manufacturer vacuum cleaner performance claims, pointing out that the
units should have been tested to meet ASTM 558, an American standard. The manufacturer notes the advertised performance is based
on IEC 60312, a European standard, and the two test codes will yield similar, if not exact, results. Investigate both test codes and
address similarities and differences. Is there a legitimate claim here?

Problem: Consider fully-developed flow of water through a 24-cm diameter tube. The water comes in at
20°C and exits at 40°C. The surface temperature of the tube is uniform at 60°C. The water flow has a
mass flow rate of 0.24 kg/s. What is the average convection coefficient of the water flow?
Solution: We have T, = 60°C, Tmi = 20°C, Tmo = 40°C, So, the bulk-mean temperature is Tm = 30°C.
The appropriate properties are: u = 7.98 × 10-4 kg/ms;
k = 0.615…

In Agile:
All code should be written before test plans are created in case changes in the
code occur
Test plans should be written before coding begins
All coding should be stopped at a time in the sprint that allows adequate time to
write test plans and perform the testing
Testing is not a part of the sprint
DAD stands for:
Direct Agile Discipline
Disciplined Agile Delivery
