Coding suspected conditions are referred to as difficulty in giving a code at the time of discharge for the disease diagnosis.
The importance of it is for claiming insurance purposes, prevent medical error,time saving, easily identifiable by the health care professionals on the he line of treatment given to a patient.
The specific characteristics are
When the diagnosis has a term of possible,probable ,question mark,suspected .This gives only a possible or suspected diagnosis which is not confirmed for the disease conditions.
Relate the concept of Diagnostic Coding and importance in the Medical Field. Differences between Inpatient versus Outpatient Coding and the uses Characteristics and importance of The Diagnosis CODEBOOK Important and characteristics of Tubular list of diseases. Briefly describe the concept and organization of the Alphabetic Index to Diseases Relate the characteristics of Inpatient Coding Importance and Characteristics of Coding Suspected Conditions Enumerate the Documentation Requirements in the patient's record at the time of the service The future of Diagnostic Coding...
A patient is suspected of having low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochloridia. To determine whether the patient has this condition, her doctors take a 19.00 mL sample of her gastric juices and titrate the sample with 0.000300 M KOH. The gastric juice sample required 12.1 mL of the KOH titrant to neutralize it. Calculate the pH of the gastric juice sample. Assume the sample contained no ingested food or drink which might otherwise interfere with the titration.
A patient is suspected of having low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochloridia. To determine whether the patient has this condition, her doctors take a 17.00 mL sample of her gastric juices and titrate the sample with 2.96×10−4 M KOH. The gastric juice sample required 2.23 mL of the KOH titrant to neutralize it. Calculate the pH of the gastric juice sample. Assume the sample contained no ingested food or drink which might otherwise interfere with the titration.
A patient is suspected of having low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochloridia. To determine whether the patient has this condition, her doctors take a 20.00 mL sample of her gastric juices and titrate the sample with 2.38 x 10-4 M KOH. The gastric juice sample required 21.6 mL of the KOH titrant to neutralize it. Calculate the pH of the gastric juice sample. Assume the sample contained no ingested food or drink which might otherwise interfere with the...
What is the importance of knowing proper CPT coding? How does it differ from other codes? Provide examples.
Describe the importance of proper coding in healthcare to ensure prompt reimbursement by answering the following: 1. describe the role of finance in the healthcare system 2. describe the diagnosis codes and how they are used impacting reimbursement 3. describe the features of third-party-payers 4. explain the reimbursement methods used and the effects of coding on reimbursement
A patient is suspected of having low stomach acid, a condition known as hypochloridia. To determine whether the patient has this condition, her doctors take a 15.00 mL sample of her gastric juices and titrate the sample with 2.74×10−4 M KOH. The gastric juice sample required 8.29 mL of the KOH titrant to neutralize it. Calculate the pH of the gastric juice sample. Assume the sample contained no ingested food or drink which might otherwise interfere with the titration. pH=...
