Hi I'm working on a final project and wanted to know if I coded it right

Well a 45 yr old woman goes in for a headache. Undetermined why. I put code 99202 for np ov. Then returns for ov a week later hot compresses worked but is swelling exam shows subcutaneous nodule. I put 99212. Returns 2 weeks later for reexam. A decision is made for excise the benign lesion. Scalp cyst 1.5 cm removal with six black 000 silk sutures. I put code 11422LT. Returns a week later for suture removal. I put 99212. And a week later a final check up. I put 99212. And the diagnosis code I put Is 784.2

There are no tutors here who have expertise in this subject area.

Please use your textbook, study materials, and a good search engine or two to find your answers.

1. Go to http://www.google.com or http://www.bing.com

2. Type in cpt codes (or whatever search terms you need). Press Enter.

3. Read different search results until you find what you need.

4. Re-search with different search terms if you don't find all you need.

Based on the information provided, here is an analysis of the codes you have used:

1. Initial visit for a headache: You have used code 99202 for a new patient office visit (np ov). This code represents an expanded problem-focused history, an expanded problem-focused examination, and straightforward medical decision-making.

2. Follow-up visit for headache with swelling and subcutaneous nodule: You have used code 99212 for an established patient office visit (ov). This code represents an expanded problem-focused history, an expanded problem-focused examination, and straightforward medical decision-making.

3. Visit for excision of benign scalp cyst: You have used code 11422LT. This code represents the excision (removal) of a benign cyst or tumor, measuring 1.5 cm.

4. Visit for suture removal: You have used code 99212, which represents an established patient office visit for straightforward medical decision-making.

5. Final follow-up visit: You have used code 99212 again, which represents an established patient office visit for straightforward medical decision-making.

It is important to note that I am an AI language model and not an expert in medical coding. To ensure accuracy, it is recommended to consult with a certified medical coder or a healthcare professional who specializes in medical billing and coding. They can review the specific documentation and provide guidance on coding accuracy and any potential modifiers that may need to be added to the codes.

Regarding the diagnosis code 784.2, this code represents a specific symptom, which in this case is headache. However, the accuracy of the diagnosis code may vary depending on the specific condition or diagnosis determined by the healthcare professional during the patient's assessment.

Again, it is advisable to consult with a certified medical coder or healthcare professional to ensure accurate coding based on the patient's specific condition and documentation provided.
