I just took this quiz online and I chose B but the correct answer is A. Medical Coding is a new field for me so I am guessing that although the mass is in his thigh, the ultrasound will look at the "complete joint" vs "limited"? The difference between complete joint and limited is what confused me. Maybe someone can clarify this for me better than the textbook.

29yrs old Male patient with an abnormal mass in his left thigh region is here today to take Ultrasound of the lower extremity, how would you report this service?
A. 76881
B. 76882
C. 93970
D. 76886
