16. Coding Detached RetinaA case of patient being seen for a detached retina.ANSWER

17. During my internship Ive noticed that some CPT codesare reported to Medicare using a HCPCS code (often aG code). I assume somewhere on the CMS site I canfind a correlation of these codes, so I can write them inmy book, but I have not yet. Any idea where I couldlook?Thanks!ANSWERCPT vs HCPCS codes

18. Coding for Physicals- V70.0 vs V72.3xSharla asks -When pt presents for annual physical and has GYNcomponents to the exam, which ICD-9 would be used asprimary dx V70.0 or V72.3x? There is conflicting informationout there on this subject, it seems some folks use bothcodes with V70.0 as primary and some only use V72.3x.ANSWER

19. I would love to hear some discussion on the differences of the diagnostic/therapeutic wedge resections (32666 – 32668) and also the wedgeresections/biopsies (32607-32608). There is a lot of confusion with thesecodes between our coders, surgeons, and auditing department. Manytimes the surgeons will leave out wording such as complete resection orattention to margins and we have been told to then code it as a 32608 (fora lung mass) – even though the number of incisions and the rest of the opnote and path report matches the description for a therapeutic wedge. Thereimbursement is considerably different and this is causing a great deal ofstress between departments. Id really enjoysome information on this!! ANSWERCoding for Lungs and Pleura Procedures

20. EMR VendorsI keep hearing about different EMR vendors. What are themore common ones that I should be aware of?ANSWER
