Activity Instructions: Using the coding techniques you have learned, carefully read through the case study and determine the most accurate diagnostic code(s). Remember to check the chapter-specific, subchapter-specific, and category-specific notations within the Tabular List. Remember to use required punctuation and placeholders as necessary to create a complete code meeting specificity guidelines. Then, determine the most accurate CPT and/or HCPCS procedure code(s) along with any modifier(s), if appropriate. Please list the Procedure and/or HCPCS code in the appropriate column and add any appropriate modifier(s) in the column directly adjacent to the procedure column titled for modifiers. Be sure to list the codes, one code per box, in the correct order, from top to bottom, and in the proper column. You may not need all of the spaces provided. Case Study: John is a 40-year-old white male who returns to the office because of increasing bouts of heartburn. At this point, eating anything appears to trigger his symptoms, which are typically worse at night. He has stomach pain unless he stays on Mylanta. He now resorts to sleeping in a recliner because lying flat is simply too uncomfortable. Today, barium swallow is performed, in addition to esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy. Diagnosis is GERD with esophagitis and low-grade dysplastic Barrett's esophagus. Diagnosis code(s) Procedure code(s) Applicable modifier HCPCS Level II code(s) Applicable modifier
