To determine the correct CPT code for the visit and the ICD-9-CM code, we need to analyze the given information. Let's break it down step by step:
1. The scenario mentions that Chester has an appointment for a checkup on his asthma.
2. Chester is wheezy and experiencing labored breathing.
3. His established physician performs a problem-focused exam and history.
4. No further treatment is recommended for his asthma.
5. Chester is scheduled to return in three months for a checkup on his atopic asthma.
Step 1: CPT Code
Since the scenario does not provide specific details about the procedures or services performed during the checkup, we can use a general CPT code for an established patient office visit. The most common CPT code used for such visits is 99213, which represents a problem-focused evaluation and management (E/M) service.
So the CPT code for Chester's visit would be 99213.
Step 2: ICD-9-CM Code
To determine the ICD-9-CM code, we need to identify the primary diagnosis or reason for the visit. In this case, the primary diagnosis is Chester's atopic asthma.
Unfortunately, the scenario does not provide enough specific information (such as chest X-ray results or spirometry values) to accurately identify the ICD-9-CM code for atopic asthma. Additionally, the question mentions putting a "number in D21," but it is unclear what D21 refers to.
To determine the appropriate ICD-9-CM code for atopic asthma, you would need more information about Chester's condition. Consultation with a healthcare professional or medical coding specialist would be necessary to accurately assign the correct ICD-9-CM code for atopic asthma in this case.
Please note that ICD-9-CM codes have been replaced by ICD-10-CM codes as of October 1, 2015. Using the correct ICD-10-CM code would be necessary for current medical coding purposes.
In summary, the CPT code for Chester's visit would be 99213, but without additional information, it is not possible to provide the correct ICD-9-CM code for his atopic asthma or understand what "D21" refers to.
