Here are some of the most frequently reported infectious disease codes for diagnoses. While this tool can help streamline your coding workflow, be sure to always check the ICD-10-CM manual for further coding guidance.
Use this diagram to visualize the excision of the lingual frenum (CPT code 41115), a procedure also known as a lingual frenectomy. The procedure, which is performed to treat ankyloglossia, entails removing the flap of tissue that holds the tongue to the floor of the mouth to allow the tongue to have a greater range of motion.

This exercise is designed to help coders practice reading and interpreting operative reports related to the heart and great vessels. 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.
Here are some of the most frequently reported speech pathology codes for diagnoses. While this tool can help streamline your coding workflow, be sure to always check the ICD-10-CM manual for further coding guidance.
Here is a reference sheet with some of the most frequently reported endocrinology codes for diagnoses. While this tool can help streamline your coding workflow, be sure to always check the ICD-10-CM manual for further coding guidance.
This clinical scenario for a new patient’s concern about a lesion 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 CPT procedural codes. The answer key is included with the correct code to report. This scenario was originally published in E/M Office Visit Reference Guide, Third Edition.
