The physician performed anorthopedic manipulation of the elbow under anesthesia, which is reported withCPT 24300(manipulation, elbow, under anesthesia). The anesthesia service is separately reported by theanesthesia provider(the anesthesiologist/CRNA) using an anesthesia CPT code, but the question asks specifically what is reportedfor the physicianperforming the manipulation—not the anesthesiologist. Therefore, you donotassign the anesthesia code (e.g., 01710) to the manipulating physician. Option A is incorrect because it includes anesthesia coding under the physician. Options B and D include24605, which represents a different service (not the correct manipulation-under-anesthesia code for this vignette). CPC exam strategy: identifywhois billing (surgeon vs anesthesiologist) and select the CPT code that describes the physician’s operative service. Here, the physician’s work is the manipulation itself, accurately captured by24300alone.
