1-3 Journal: Coding StepsSouthern New Hampshire University HIM 215: Coding and Classification Sys 08:56:41 GMT -05:001-3 Journal: Coding StepsFor the first scenario I chose when the provider performs an x-ray, this scenario would only contain a CPT code. I determined this because it only states that the patient was seen by the provider for a chest x-ray, there is no other information including a diagnosis. A CPT code is used to report medical, surgical, and diagnostic services performed by health care providers.For the second scenario I chose when the provider injects 25 mg of dimenhydrinate. This scenario should contain both a CPT code and an HCPCS code. A CPT code would report the procedure that was performed by the provider while the HCPCS code reports the supplies, such as injectable medications. The scenario does not contain a diagnosis, which would rule out the need for an ICD10 code. 08:56:41 GMT -05:00
