But, when you start digging into the details of how medical coding works and what it can affect, the liability potential of applying the wrong medical codes becomes apparent. Mismatched Coding Can Lead to Insurance Fraud Claims This is not a sensationalist headline. It is actual reality. Let's say a medical coder mismatches certain procedures and diagnostic codes on a patient record.…
Other codes can be used to identify procedures for open rib fractures. I know change is “just the way it is” in this profession so I’m trying to gear myself up for it. Examples of when you would dig out the HCPCS book :-) When a 68-year-old patient had a complete cystectomy they would need to have a catheter system supplied for them. You would find it in the HCPCS. When a patient goes in for nuclear medicine imaging procedure the contrast would be identified by a HCPCS code. When a patient…

In “Distortions of mind perception in psychopathology,” Gray, Jenkins, Heberlein and Wegner investigated the effects of psychopathology on social perception. Rather than compartmentalizing different disorders, as is often done when studying psychopathological conditions, this study wanted to consider these disorders differently, but not independently.

Introduction Throughout the years, many criminologists have developed various theories on youth offending in hopes of being able to use their knowledge to prevent offending.

Prof Geiling was talking about psychology and mental diseases by what modern people suffered. Prof. Dresser taught us about Christianity and who Jesus is, and why he does matter us. Personally, I have some experiences to attend services and learning about Jesus before, but the psychology was a completely brand-new to me; thus I…
