Answer:
a. Atenolol is a beta-blocker, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic.
b. Atenolol and Hydrochlorothiazide can be used together to decrease the blood pressure and to slow the heart rate down.
c. The patient needs to have into consideration that both medications may cause irregular heartbeats, dizziness, weakness and fainting.
Explanation:
Atenolol is a beta-blocker, it means that this drug slows down the heart rate by changing how the body responds to nerve impulses, which enhances the pumping of blood. Moreover, Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or 'water pills' drug that can be used to treat edema conditions (i.e., excess fluid in tissues), thereby enhancing blood pressure that can damage the heart. It has been shown that the combination of both drugs may decrease the blood pressure and the incidence of hypertension.
The CPT code that best fits this case is 99325.
In healthcare, CPT codes are used to identify the types of services provided to a patient. In this way, there are different codes for diagnostic services, surgeries, etc.
In the case described, the service provided has the following characteristics:
- The patient is new.
- He is a custodial care center.
- This is only a regular domiciliary visit.
- This case is just a low complexity case.
Based on this information we can conclude:
- The patient can be classified as a level 2 because his case is not very complex.
- The patient is in a custodial care center rather than in his own home or hospital.
- This is a new patient, not an established patient.
Now, the code to describe these features is 99325 because the codes 99324 to 99337 are used to describe patients in custodial care visits, and the last number (5) determines the patient is a new level 2 patient.
