Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diagnosis code for cough is 786.2, and the procedure code for a two-view chest x-ray is 71020. Choice A is incorrect because V72.5 is a screening code and not appropriate for this scenario. Choice C is incorrect because 71035 is the code for a chest x-ray with fluoroscopy and not necessary for a routine two-view chest x-ray. Choice D includes an additional diagnosis code for a chest pain that is not mentioned in the scenario.
