Dr. X asks Dr. Y to look at a 65-year-old male who is in a nursing facility for decubitus ulceration. Dr. Y is unable to obtain

history due to current mental status. He obtains a detailed history from Dr. X since the patient is unable to provide a history. A detailed exam along with low MDM is performed. Dr Y. recommends to Dr. X that the patient needs to go to the surgical suite for debridement of the ulcerations. Since the patient is unstable at the moment due to elevated blood pressure and a UTI, they decide to delay surgery and to keep monitoring the patient until he stabilizes.

Answer:

99253

Explanation:

Dr. X asks Dr. Y to undergo a consultation on a patient occupying a nursing facility.

Based on CPT® guidelines: “The preliminary inpatient consultation codes (99251-99255), should be employed just once by the reporting provider for a singular hospital or nursing institution to patient for a specific admission. It is necessary for these codes to be documented for consultations given to hospital inpatients, occupiers of nursing institution, or patients occupying a partial hospital environment.”

A consultation is a kind of service offered by a provider whose idea or guidance on the aspect of examination and /or handling of a certain problem is demanded for by a different provider.

The requesting provider undergoes the consultation, records his or her view in the client's medical record, and pass on findings/recommendations with the aid of a written report to the demanding provider or other relevant source.

Consultations demands the need to record three of three basic constituent. The provider undergo a comprehensive history, explicit exam and modest MDM.

The correct code would be 99253

The services of a professional gardener would be included in the GDP. True or False?​
miskamm [114]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

GDP is gross domestic product measuring the economic stance of a country by actually using government spending, consumption, saving and investing. So if used items that are resold would actually increase the GDP of an economy drastically as there would be a double, triple or quadruple count in certain items in a country and that would spike tax charges which can affect the life’s of consumers and also buyers by items having ridiculous prices. The imports and exports will also be affected as there’s certain taxes imposed on the items being imported or exported by a country as country’s will also have huge deficits and credits on other countries.

This in turn will have a negative value in the study of a country’s economy and well countries would not trade imports and exports easily as countries which have struggling economies will suffer even more on getting products from other countries and countries which are first world will easily purchase from other countries because they will have weak economies because of multiple counting of a single product being sold or traded. The economies won’t really save or invest a lot as they will increase on their expenditure to obtain what they want and also consumers will suffer with high interest and inflation rates in that economy.
