Using the techniques described in this chapter, carefully read through the case study and determine the most accurate ICD-10-CM code(s) and external cause code(s), if appropriate. Remember, check the chapter-specific, sub-chapter-specific, and category-specific notations within the Tabular List. Sonia Grasso, an 11-year-old female, was diagnosed with idiopathic adolescent scoliosis. Joshua Medical Supplies and Equipment was referred by Dr. Karpel, her orthopedist, to provide a Milwaukee brace: cervical/thoracic/lumbar/sacral orthotic. Be sure to list the codes, one code per box, in the correct order, from top to bottom. Capitalization, punctuation, and spacing can impact whether or not your answer is correct. Follow coding best practices. Determine the most accurate HCPCS Level II code(s) and modifier(s), if appropriate. The number of spaces provided does not indicate the number of codes required to accurately report this encounter.
