Review the following medical coding scenario. Assign all of

the ICD-10 and CPT codes for the diagnoses and procedures

indicated in the scenario. Advanced Medical Coding Assignment Paper

After being evaluated by his gastroenterologist, Mr. Jackson

was sent to the hospital for a diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

He is having several symptoms that indicate a

potential gastrointestinal condition. As a result, he was admitted

in observation. His symptoms include vomiting, weight

loss, and dysphagia. The esophagogastroduodenoscopy reveals

that the patient has low-grade Barrett’s esophagus, GERD

with reflux esophagitis and a non-obstructing hiatal hernia.

Patient was also incidentally diagnosed with Crest Syndrome

(CRST), which correlates with his complaint of dysphagia.

After the procedure, the patient was noted to have several

PVC’s on his EKG. These resolved shortly after the patient

arrived in the recovery room. Based on the results of the

detailed history, detailed, exam, and straight forward medical

decision making, it was decided that the patient could be discharged

home on the same day with instructions for a follow

up office appointment in 2 days. Code this scenario.
