In the emergency room, Dr. Shanequa took a detailed history, did a comprehensive physical, and ordered lab work and x-rays of the head, neck, and back, along with the right leg, because Nick was complaining of severe pain in the lower portion of the leg. Dr. Shanequa determined that although Nick was pretty banged up and should not ride the dirt bike for a while, he was fine. The x-rays showed a bad sprain in the ankle area, but nothing was broken. (Hint: Keep in mind that Dr. Shanequa is Nick's primary care physician and not the ED doctor.) CPT code(s): __________ Correct Answer-Case 4—99214 Rationale: The key components support the level of service performed. Dr. Shanequa is not an emergency department physician, so he would not be billing the emergency department codes (99281-99285). The emergency department is considered outpatient.
