Explanation:

Analyze Question 12

Using the Foreign Body Detection Coding knowledge point

• The clinical scenario describes a child who swallowed a metal jack. A radiological exam is performed from the nose to the rectum to locate the foreign body.
• CPT code 76010 specifically represents "Radiologic examination from nose to rectum for foreign body, single view".
• The modifier -26 represents the professional component.
• Therefore, the single code 76010-26 is the correct and most specific code for this comprehensive single-view survey, rather than billing multiple individual anatomical site codes.

Analyze Question 13

Using the Diagnostic Mammography Coding knowledge point

• The patient presents with left breast pain and a lump, which are signs/symptoms. This makes the mammogram diagnostic rather than screening.
• The exam is performed on a single breast (unilateral) using computer-aided detection (CAD) software.
• CPT code 77065 represents "Diagnostic mammography, including computer-aided detection (CAD) when performed; unilateral".
• CPT code 77066 is for bilateral diagnostic mammography.
• CPT code 77067 is for screening mammography.
• Therefore, 77065 is the correct code for a unilateral diagnostic mammogram with CAD.
