Suggested Answer: C

The procedure performed is a bilateral screening mammogram with computer-aided detection (CAD). CPT code 77067 is for bilateral screening mammography with CAD. ICD-10-CM code Z12.31 is for an encounter for screening mammogram for malignant neoplasm of the breast. Z80.3 is for a family history of malignant neoplasm of the breast. Therefore, the correct coding is 77067, Z12.31, Z80.3. Reference: CPT Professional Edition (current year), ICD-10-CM (current year).

This question is making my head spin! I know the shoulder has something to do with the arm, but I can't recall the specific bones. I'll just guess and go with option A.

Wait, wasn't it the carpal, radius, and humerus? I can never remember the bones in the shoulder. Oh well, I'll have to go with option B just to be safe.
