Answer:
CPT is what was done, the ICD is why it was done. Insurance companies, especially Medicare and Medicaid have procedures that they will not cover if you don’t attach an acceptable diagnosis code. Fortunately, this isn’t a secret. They publish documents that outline what the procedure(s) are and what the needed or ‘covered’ diagnoses are.
Most of the links are self evident. Broken arm diagnosis - fix broken arm CPT code. Other pairings are also as easy.
It has gotten more difficult with ICD-10 because the available number of diagnoses has expanded tremendously. For some insurance companies it was an opportunity to narrow down the covered diagnoses for some of the more expensive procedures.
Modifiers have special use in coding. They can be informative; there are modifiers for each of your fingers and each of your toes. They can affect your reimbursement for the procedure performed: there are modifiers for services that were not completed. There are modifiers that will allow you to bill some things you wouldn’t be able to normally; modifiers for the same surgery done at different sites. Modifiers go on the CPT codes, not the diagnosis codes. Some modifiers are only for physician visits, some only for surgery. There are many, and using them is an art form.

Answer: Sarah and Hailey had always been arch rivals. They competed practically everything, however had both cheer leading was of highest importance. Sarah and Hailey had cheered since they were 8 years old, always attempting to one up each other even on the same team. Now, attending the same high school tensions could not be higher. It's try out day for junior varsity cheer, as freshmen Sarah and Hailey knew they had the odds stacked against them as sophomores and juniors often get priority for JV. Sarah spots Hailey in the locker room, and intensely stares her down. "Break a leg" Sarah exclaims sarcastically. They enter the gym, try outs start off with learning a routine the girls must break up into two groups and recite what they just learned. The coach puts Sarah and Hailey in the same group. They feud the entire time, the girls who are taking it seriously are growing tired of their child like behavior. Though they were as civil as they could be, Sarah thinks about having to rely on Hailey to look good and snaps. "That's not how you do it Hailey! Your counts are off and you're making our group look like amateurs." Hailey defends herself "That's not true Sarah! You have stones for feet and your kicks aren't high enough." The insults carry on, the coach finally steps in "That's enough you two, the only reason you had the opportunity to try out for JV is because you are seasoned cheerleaders. This behavior is unacceptable and you're lucky if you even make freshmen with those attitudes!" Hailey and Sarah both blush of embarrassment, and exit the gym. You would think they could reconcile this once so they didn't soil their chance at Freshmen. But the hatred was too deep, "LOOK WHAT YOUR LOUD MOUTH DID YOU COULDN'T JUST HOLD YOUR TOUNGE AND INSULT ME AFTER" Hailey yelled fighting back tears. "HOW CAN YOU HAVE 6 YEARS OF CHEER EXPERIENCE AND STILL SUCK AS MUCH AS YOU DID WHEN WE FIRST STARTED?" Sarah snarked back. Not being able to put their differences aside, they both ruined their chances at even making Freshmen cheer. Guess we will have to see if tryouts are sucessful or escalate next year. Perhaps one of the girls can convince their parents to switch High Schools.
