Correct Answer: B Because a separate procedure is considered a part of, and integral to, another, larger procedure, it is not coded when performed as part of the more extensive procedure. See Surgery Guidelines. It may, however, be coded when it is not performed as part of another, larger service; therefore, answer "c" is not correct (AHIMA 2012a, 586).
