Codes from category Z3A are for use, only on the maternal record, to indicate the weeks of gestation of the pregnancy, if known.
What CPT® code is used to report 50% removal of the vulva and deep subcutaneous tissues? Response Feedback:Rationale: In the CPT® Index look for Vulvectomy/Radical, directing you to codes 56630, 56631, 56633-56640. Removal of 50% of the tissue is a partial vulvectomy and removal of deep subcutaneous tissue is radical.
The Bartholin glands, also known as the greater vestibular glands (or vulvovaginal glands) are paired pea-sized structures, lying on either side of the vaginal opening, and are homologous to the bulbourethral (Cowper) glands in the male. They form part of the vulva.
56620If you remove >80% of the total vulva, it is considered “Vulvectomy, simple complete” (56625). If <80% is removed, it is considered “Vulvectomy, simple partial (56620).
ICD-10 code E27. 2 for Addisonian crisis is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases .
A Bartholin cyst is a buildup of fluid that occurs if the opening of the gland is blocked. A Bartholin abscess may occur if the cyst fluid becomes infected. The Bartholin cyst or abscess appears as a lump or swelling on the side of the vaginal opening.
The Bartholin's glands (or greater vestibular glands) are important organs of the female reproductive system. Danish anatomist Caspar Bartholin Secundus first described them in 1677. [1] Their primary function is the production of a mucoid secretion that aids in vaginal and vulvar lubrication.
Experts believe that the cause of a Bartholin's cyst is a backup of fluid. Fluid may accumulate when the opening of the gland (duct) becomes obstructed, perhaps caused by infection or injury. A Bartholin's cyst can become infected, forming an abscess.
Rationale: In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Abortion/threatened (spontaneous) O20.0. Chapter notes indicate to code the weeks of gestation. In the Alphabetic Index look for Pregnancy/weeks of gestation/15 weeks referring you to Z3A.15. Verify codes in the Tabular List.
C. Yes, because the doctor did the work, even though the outcome was unsuccessful. Report this procedure with code 59412
In the CPT® Index, look for Fimbrioplasty/Uterus guiding you to code 58760. Two modifiers are appended to this code: Modifier 51 to indicate more than one procedure was performed and modifier RT to indicate only the right tube was involved. Both of these procedures were performed with an incision, not laparoscopically.
Rationale: In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Abortion/threatened (spontaneous) O20.0. Chapter notes indicate to code the weeks of gestation. In the Alphabetic Index look for Pregnancy/weeks of gestation/15 weeks referring you to Z3A.15. Verify codes in the Tabular List.
Rationale: In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Prolapse/uterus/incomplete directing you to code N81.2. Looking in the Tabular List confirms this code selection.
Rationale: When reporting a procedure code for an uncomplicated twin delivery by cesarean delivery, you code the global cesarean code once, because there is only one incision to deliver both babies by a cesarean delivery. Many payers will not provide additional reimbursement for a twin delivery by cesarean. Look in the CPT® Index for Cesarean Delivery/Routine Care referring you to 59510. Verify in the numeric section.
