This clinical scenario for Tracheostomy is designed to simulate real-life coding processes for training and assessing new coders or keeping skills sharp for experienced staff. After reviewing the case, coders should report the most applicable ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes and all relevant CPT procedural codes. The answer key is included with the correct codes to report for this case. This scenario was originally published in JustCoding’s Clinical Scenario Workbook.

This exercise is designed to help coders practice reading and interpreting operative reports related to the gastrointestinal system. As you review the operative information, your task is to assign the correct ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes. Pay close attention to the specific terminology used in the report, including diagnoses, procedures, and any relevant anatomical references, and remember to reference coding guidelines. Once you have filled in your codes, you may scroll further down to reveal the answers.
