Answer to Question 2

1,2,3,4,5
Rationale: CPT codes were grouped into services by the first digit followed by four more digits that further described the procedure. The number 9 is reserved for visits related to evaluation and management procedures. Thus, the CPT code 99211 is an office visit for less than 10 minutes and is often used when the patient only sees a nurse for an injection, blood pressure check, or some other simple procedure, which does not involve direct contact with the physician. Incorrect use of codes and modifiers delay claim processing.
