AAPC Certified Professional Coder (CPC) — Question 109

An established patient suffering from migraines without aura, no mention of intractable migraine, and no mention of status migrainosus, is seen by his ophthalmologist who conducts a visual field examination of both eyes. The examination was accomplished plotting four isopters utilizing the Goldmann perimeter testing method. The patient and requesting physician receive the interpretation and report on the same date of service.
What procedure and diagnosis codes are reported for this encounter?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as code 92082 corresponds to the visual field examination performed, and G43.009 is the appropriate diagnosis code for a migraine without aura that is not intractable. The other options either use the wrong procedure code or an incorrect diagnosis code that does not match the scenario described.
