New Pаtient Histоry & PhysicаlCHIEF COMPLAINT: Right chrоnic inguinаl hernia.HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: This 44-year-оld athletic man has been aware of a bulge and a pain in his right groin for over a year. He is very active, both aerobically and anaerobically. He has a weight routine which he has modified because of this bulge in his right groin. Usually, he can complete his entire workout. He can swim and work without problems. Several weeks ago, in the shower, he noticed there was a bulge in the groin and he was able to push on it and make it go away. He has never had a groin operation on either side. The pain is minimal, but it is uncomfortable and it limits his ability to participate in his physical activity routine. In addition, he likes to do a lot of exercise in the back country and his personal provider, Dr. X told him it would be dangerous to have this become incarcerated in the back country.PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Serious illnesses: Reactive airway disease for which he takes Advair. He is not on steroids and has no other pulmonary complaints. Operations: None.MEDICATIONS: Advair.ALLERGIES: None.REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: He has no weight gain or weight loss. He has excellent exercise tolerance. He denies headaches, back pain, abdominal discomfort, or constipation.PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: VITAL SIGNS: Weight 82 kg, temperature 36.8, pulse 48 and regular, blood pressure 121/69.GENERAL APPEARANCE: He is a very muscular well-built man in no distress.SKIN: Normal.LYMPH NODES: None.HEAD AND NECK: Sclerae are clear. External ocular eye movements are full. Trachea is midline. Thyroid is not felt.CHEST: Clear to auscultation.HEART: Regular rhythm with no murmur.ABDOMEN: Soft. Liver and spleen not felt. He has no abnormality in the left groin. In the right groin I can feel a silk purse sign, but I could not feel an actual mass. I am quite sure he has by history and by physical examination a rather small indirect inguinal hernia. His cord and testicles are normal.IMPRESSION: Right chronic indirect inguinal hernia.PLAN: We discussed observation and repair. He is motivated toward repair and I described the operation in detail. He was cautioned on the fact this could become an emergent situation if this becomes incarcerated. I gave him the scheduling number, and he will call and arrange the operation.What CPT® and ICD-10-CM codes are reported?
