Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Code A6021 is for a collagen dressing pad, size less than or equal to 16 square inches. Code A6022 is for a collagen dressing pad, size greater than 16 square inches. Since Ashlie Morris was given two pads, each 16 square inches, the correct code would be A6021×2, indicating two of the smaller size pads. Code A6022-52 would be incorrect as the -52 modifier (which indicates a reduced service) is not applicable in this scenario.
