CPTcode 15786 is used for abrasion treatment of a single lesion (e.g., for keratosis) through techniques like dermabrasion (lightly sanding the skin's surface). When treating multiple lesions in this manner, each lesion treated should be coded individually.
Since the patient has 5 keratosis lesions treated through sanding, 15786 x 5 accurately represents the procedure for each lesion.
Explanation of other options:
A: 15787 x 5: Incorrect because 15787 is designated for dermabrasion of "additional lesions" and would be used in conjunction with 15786, not alone.
B: 15786, 15787: Incorrect, as it does not account for all five lesions treated.
C: 15786, 15787 x 4: Incorrect, as 15787 is used only when performed in addition to 15786, not as a replacement for each additional lesion.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 15786 x 5, which accurately reports the treatment of all five lesions.

The operative report documents amalignant lesion excision(basal cell carcinoma) on theright forearmfollowed by reconstruction with anadjacent tissue transfer (rotation flap)afterfrozen sectionconfirmed clear margins. In CPT, when a defect is repaired withadjacent tissue transfer/rearrangement, the flap code includes the work ofexcision (including necessary undermining and preparation of the recipient site)performed as part of creating and closing the defect; therefore the malignant excision code (e.g.,11606) isnot separately reportedin this same session when the excision is integral to the flap repair. Code selection for adjacent tissue transfer is based on theanatomic siteand thetotal defect area (primary + secondary defects). The documentedtotal area is
8 sq cm, and the site is theforearm (arm/leg grouping). For arms/legs,10 sq cm or lessis reported with14020.
Codes14040apply to a different anatomic region grouping and do not match the forearm. Frozen section pathology/margin control does not change the primary surgical coding here. Therefore, report14020 only.

CPT codes are based on ranges, not per-view billing
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
71047 - 2 views only
CPT does not allow "× view" reporting

99386 = Initial comprehensive preventive medicine E/M, new patient, age 40-64 Patient has not been seen in 4 years, which meets the new patient definition (no professional services in past 3 years).
Age = 63
No problem-oriented complaints # preventive service only
Why others are incorrect:
99396 / 99397 - Established patient codes
99387 - Age 65+

In ICD-10-CM coding, personal history codes are used to indicate a patient's past medical conditions that no longer exist and are not receiving active treatment, but that may influence current care or require continued monitoring.
A: is correct because a personal history code can indeed be reported as a primary code if the encounter is specifically for screening due to a past condition.
B: is correct because personal history codes can be reported with follow-up codes to indicate that the patient is being monitored for recurrence of the past condition.
D: is correct because a personal history code is used when the patient no longer has or is being treated for that condition, but it remains relevant to the patient's health history.
C: is false because a personal history code is not used indiscriminately on any medical record; it is only appropriate when the past condition is relevant to the current encounter or impacts current patient care.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. A personal history code is acceptable on any medical record regardless of the reason of the visit.
