Answer:

ICD-10-CM (Clinical Modification)  are codes used to describe the primary diagnosis of a patient

CPT codes are the billing codes used for getting payment from insurance companies

Explanation:

ICD is the international standard for reporting diseases and health conditions including monitoring of disease. ICD-10 is the the 10th edition.

As explained above, ICD-10 codes describe the main/primary diagnosis this is followed by the CPT/billing code which describes how insurance companies should pay for said primary condition - making them dependent.

Modifiers are then used to give more information about the ICD-10 codes or adjust care descriptions, they provide extra details concerning a procedure or service provided by a doctor. They also help further describe a procedure code without changing its definition

Which aspect determines a health source's credibility?
Alex

The correct answer is C.

An author's credentials can determine a health source's credibility. None of the other options would apply to credibility. When it comes to health, if you want to make sure that what you are researching or reading is authentic and reliable you need to find out whether the author is a professional health expert or not. You can do this by finding out their credentials.

They killed him, Diego! I don't know how they did it, but they killed your brother!" I dropped the smartphone and its screen sha
ipn [44]

The correct answer is C. Infection

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, Diego who is the brother of a superhero known as Impervious describes his thoughts as he is informed about his brother's death. One of the main points in this excerpt is who or what killed Impervious or Javier because according to Diego he was an invincible superhero.

Due to this, the narrator considers possible causes such as an "alien technology" and "damage or infection" but he rules out these options because Aliens were fictional and Javier seemed indestructible not only outside but inside, which proves he was not likely to develop an infection or disease. In this context, one of the weaknesses Diego rules out is an infection.
