A 35-year-old patient was a passenger on a motorcycle involved in an accident and sustained three severely broken ribs and a fractured right femur. Chest x-ray showed a 45 percent collapse of the left lung and air in the pleural space. The patient complained of increasing shortness of breath and was cyanotic. A chest tube was inserted into the third intercostal space by the emergency department (ED) physician. A subsequent chest x-ray showed marked improvement to only 5 percent collapse. The patient was thoroughly evaluated by the ED physician for possible internal injuries. The ED physician documented a comprehensive history, comprehensive physical examination, and complex medical decision-making. The final diagnosis was tension pneumothorax; fractured right femur, midshaft; and multiple rib fractures. The patient was taken to surgery by the on-call orthopedic surgeon to care for the fractured femur sustained in the accident. Which of the following is the correct ICD-10-CM and CPT code set for reporting the ED physician’s services? a. J93.0, S22.49XA, V29.9XXA; 99284-25, 32551 b. S27.0XXA, S72.301A, S22.49XA, V29.9XXA; 99285-25, 32551 c. S27.0XXA, S72.401A, S22.49XA, V29.9XXA; 99285, 32405 d. J93.0, S72.401A, S22.49XA, V29.9XXA; 99284, 32405
