is an inflammation of the gallbladder, an organ which is responsible for concentrating the bile used in digestion. Individuals with experience pain in their upper right abdomens, and they can also develop symptoms such as nausea. Treatment for this condition varies, depending on the cause, but most classically the gallbladder is removed from the patient.

Cholecystitis

|
|
PROCEDURE: Biliary scan was performed which showed delayed emptying of the gallbladder. The patient was later diagnosed with chronic cholecystitis.

A patient with cancer of the lung metastatic to the neck and mediastinum underwent treatment today. The patient was treated to the lower right neck, mediastinum, and lung using an AP/PA technique with a 10 MeV beam using three treatment ports. This field was collimated to 18 x 23.5 cm using custom Cerrobend blocking to protect normal structures

Secondary ICD-9-CM Code(s |
Answer:162.9, 198.89, 197.1
|
Code all documented conditions that coexist at the time of the encounter/visit that require or affect patient care, treatment, and management. These conditions may be sequenced as secondary diagnoses. The order of presentation does not matter.
First, the patient was diagnosed with lung cancer. To locate this code, turn to the Neoplasm Table and locate the main term lung. Now locate the code in the primary column. The code listed is 162.9; malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung. The patient was diagnosed with metastatic neck cancer. To locate this code, turn to the Neoplasm Table and locate the main term neck NEC. Now locate the code in the secondary column. The code listed is 198.89; secondary malignant neoplasm of other specified sites, other. The patient was also diagnosed with metastatic mediastinum cancer. To locate this code, turn to the Neoplasm Table and locate the main term mediastinum, mediastinal. Now locate the code in the secondary column. The code listed is 197.1; secondary malignant neoplasm of mediastinum |

Primary CPT Code |
Correct Answer:77413
|
To code for the treatment of the cancer turn to the “CPT Index®” to the main term, radiation therapy and the sub-terms, treatment delivery and # or more areas. This lists codes 77412-77416. Based on the documentation of 3 treatment areas and the use of custom blocking the correct code is 77413; Radiation treatment delivery, 3 or more separate treatment areas, custom blocking, tangential ports, wedges, rotational beam, compensators, electron beam; 6 to 10 MeV.
