The correct answer is C. Kiana peered at her watch. It had been four hours since she and Albert had started hiking the trail, but their destination had not yet appeared. What if they were lost? She hoped Albert couldn't sense her worry.
Explanation:
Excerpt C is the only one that describes the actions of a story by using third-person pronouns such as "she" or "they", which is the main feature in the third-person point of view. This is exemplified in "Kiana peered at her watch" or "She hoped Albert couldn't sense her worry". Moreover, the general narrating style shows the narrator is mainly an observer rather than a participant in the story, which is common in this point of view. Moreover, other excerps use the pronoun "I" and this is only used if the text is written in the first-person point of view rather than the third-person point of view.
The Answer: The best way to understand someone's true abilities is to listen to him or her use language
Answer:
CPT is what was done, the ICD is why it was done. Insurance companies, especially Medicare and Medicaid have procedures that they will not cover if you don’t attach an acceptable diagnosis code. Fortunately, this isn’t a secret. They publish documents that outline what the procedure(s) are and what the needed or ‘covered’ diagnoses are.
Most of the links are self evident. Broken arm diagnosis - fix broken arm CPT code. Other pairings are also as easy.
It has gotten more difficult with ICD-10 because the available number of diagnoses has expanded tremendously. For some insurance companies it was an opportunity to narrow down the covered diagnoses for some of the more expensive procedures.
Modifiers have special use in coding. They can be informative; there are modifiers for each of your fingers and each of your toes. They can affect your reimbursement for the procedure performed: there are modifiers for services that were not completed. There are modifiers that will allow you to bill some things you wouldn’t be able to normally; modifiers for the same surgery done at different sites. Modifiers go on the CPT codes, not the diagnosis codes. Some modifiers are only for physician visits, some only for surgery. There are many, and using them is an art form.
