Answer:

You should give him some form of assurance, as he has no family members to assist him during the ordeal of the surgery. You should also tell him what he needs to be wary of prior to and after the surgery has been completed.

What are some of the effects of not having a claim scrubbed prior to submission ?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
· Claim rejections are often the result of human error, and can easily be avoided. Manually checking claims before they're submitted to the insurance payer can be a time-consuming process, and claims re-work due to rejections can be costly. The AMA has identified these as the most common medical coding errors.

Describe how you can avoid spreading invasive plant species.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

There are three main ways of avoiding the spreading of an invasive plant species via manual control. Manual control techniques include activities such as hand-pulling, digging, flooding, mulching, burning, removal of alternate hosts and manual destruction or removal of nests, egg masses or other life stages. These techniques work best on small populations or in areas where chemicals or motorized equipment cannot be used. Manual control efforts must be persistent and several treatments may be needed to reduce or eliminate the target population. If infestations are too pervasive, manual control may become labor intensive and thus not economically feasible. Digging/Hand-pulling: Remove entire root to prevent resprouting. Usually works best with small or young plants, in sandy or loose soils, or when soils are damp. Smothering: Use mulch, black plastic, carpet, or any other impenetrable barrier to cover target plants for at least one growing season. The effectiveness of this technique can be increased by first cutting the target plants and then smothering them. If dealing with a species that produces clones, be sure to cover all stems of the species. Flooding: This is only feasible where water levels can be manipulated to completely cover cut plants for a period of time. The depth of water necessary and the amount of time cut plants should be covered will vary from species to species.

Answer:

The answer to the question: What are the code selections for the procedure and diagnosis, would be: 51702, N40.1 and R33.8.

Explanation:

ICD-10-CM codes are a system of classification that categorizes illnesses, diseases and injuries on patients and they have been established and accepted by the WHO (World Health Organization), therefore they are accepted worldwide as coding descriptors for patient illnesses. These codes used to be known before as ICD-9 codes, but this classification was changed to ICD-10. On the other hand, we have, CPT codes, Current Procedural Terminology, an American coding system used for billing purposes that classifies the medical, surgical and diagnostic procedures that will be charged for when a patient is treated for a specific condition, injury, or disease. In the case of this patient, the ICD-10 and CPT codes will depend on the disease for which the patient will be treated and also the materials, procedures and general diagnostic services that will be used to treat his urinary situation.
