The CPT code is 32484.
You should first go to the section removal and then look for lung. After that, you should check the code for "single segment" as only one lung segment was resected. The CPT codes are yearly reviewed, so there is a chance that this code might not correspond to the latest version, although it is not likely. These codes are always five digits long and the system was developed by the American Medical Association.<span>

</span>The ICD-10-CM code is C34.10.
Firstly select the Neoplasms (section C00-D49) because it is lung cancer, then look for "Malignant neoplasms of respiratory and intrathoracic organs" as we are talking about the lung (section C30-C39). After this go to "Malignant neoplasm of bronchus and lung" (C34) which is the specification. Now you should select the type it is referring to, and we are looking for cancer in the lungs on the apical area from where the biopsy was done, with no specification of which lung - so, the right option should be "<span>Malignant neoplasm of upper lobe, unspecified bronchus or lung" (C34.10).</span>

Answer:

32484 (CTP) and C34.10. (ICD-10-CM)

Explanation:

Both CTP and ICD-10-CM are sets of codes used by healthcare professionals in the hospital setting. These codes are very useful for doctors, nurses and any other medical professional, because they reference all diseases, surgeries, procedures, applications and any other photor performed in the medical environment. These codes allow communication between professionals to be done faster and more universally, so professionals in any region of the world can understand what is happening to a patient.

In the case shown in the question above, the codes used would be 32484 in CTP and C34.10 in ICD-10-CM.

Is there any great similarity between the muscle structure and muscle arrangement in the cat and humans?
STALIN [3.7K]
The similarity in the arrangement and structure exists mostly with the quads because we, just like cats, need to be able to flex and extend them so we need a lot of strength in them.

Answer:

1. Radiometric dating

2. Relative dating is used to determine the age of fossils or rock layers by by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.

3. The youngest rock layers are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom, which is according to the law of superposition.

4. Tribolite and Pecten fossils

Fossils are used to determine the ages of rock layers. Index fossils are the most useful in determining relative aging. Index fossils are of organisms that lived for a short period of time. An index fossil allows a scientist to determine the age of the rock it is in. So if they are found in a particular age, it means they belong in that age.

5. Scientists commonly use radioactive dating methods by using radioactive decay cloak of certain elements such as potassium or carbon to date fossils or rocks.

6. Law of superposition because in terms of finding the age of the rock as an object, all that needs to be identified are the layers of the rock.

7. The nuclear decay of radioactive elements are a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion which makes it a useful tool for determining the exact age of fossils or rocks.
