Answer :
Final answer:
The CPT code for radiofrequency ablation of the greater auricular nerve is not specifically listed in the provided options, but typically such procedures are coded under broader categories like 64640. The ICD-10 code for chronic right periauricular pain is H93.11, indicating the condition on the right side. Option B is the correct answer from the provided choices, using 64400 for the CPT code and H93.11 for ICD-10.
Explanation:
The question pertains to the selection of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) codes for a medical procedure and an associated medical condition. Specifically, it inquires about the CPT code for right greater auricular radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and the ICD-10 code for chronic right periauricular pain.
The correct CPT code for greater auricular nerve RFA has not been provided because specific nerve RFA procedures usually lie under broader codes, making this scenario likely fall under CPT code 64640 which covers destruction by neurolytic agent, peripheral nerves. However, none of the provided options contain this CPT code, so if we must choose from the given options, CPT code 64999 (unlisted procedure, nervous system) would be the most appropriate. For the ICD-10 code for chronic right periauricular pain, the appropriate code is H93.11 which specifies the right ear.
Option B appears to be the best match among the provided choices: CPT code: 64400 (Injection, anesthetic agent; trigeminal nerve, any division or branch), ICD-10 code: H93.11 (Otitis externa, right ear).
