Exam CPC Topic 3 Question 45 Discussion

Actual exam question for AAPC's CPC exam
Question #: 45
Topic #: 3
911 is called by the physician for an ambulance with non-emergency basic life support to pick up a patient from his office that had fainted. The patient was taken to the hospital. What HCPCS Level II coding is reported for the ambulance's service?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

To select the correct HCPCS Level II code for a non-emergency ambulance service, we focus on the following components:
A0428 represents "Ambulance service, Basic Life Support (BLS), non-emergency transport," which is appropriate here as the patient was transported with non-emergency BLS following a fainting episode. This eliminates options B and D, which indicate "emergency" (A0429).
QM Modifier indicates "Ambulance service provided under arrangement by a provider of services," relevant when a physician arranges the ambulance transport.
PH Modifier specifies "Physician's office to hospital" transport, matching the scenario where the patient was taken from the physician's office to the hospital.
Thus, A0428-QM-PH accurately describes a non-emergency BLS transport arranged by a provider from a physician's office to the hospital, aligning with choice A.
