Question

Using the coding techniques you have learned, carefully read through the case study and determine the most accurate diagnostic code(s). Remember, check the chapter-specific, subchapter-specific, and category-specific notations within the Tabular List. Remember to use required punctuation and placeholders as necessary to create a complete code meeting specificity guidelines. Then determine the most accurate CPT and/or HCPCS procedure code(s) along with any modifier(s), if appropriate. Please list the Procedure and/or HCPCS code in the appropriate column and add any appropriate modifier(s) in the column directly adjacent to the procedure column titled for modifiers. Case Study: Richard was referred to the hematologist because of persistent easy bruising with purpura and petechiae. Diagnosis at this time is idiopathic thrombocytopenia. In addition to the high-level-complexity consult, testing includes CBC w/platelet count and automated WBC differential, platelet assay (reticulated), and bone marrow biopsy (trocar), which also reveals aplastic anemia.
