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.

Note: This question is incomplete because the question statement is missing. Here is the missing section.

Add the CPT code to each situation.

Answer:

The correct order of events in sound transmission is 1, 4, 2,3 5  

Explanation:

1. Tympanic membrane vibrates.

4. Ossicles of the ear vibrate.

2. Internal ear fluids are set in motion.

3. Hearing receptors are stimulated.  

5. Auditory cortex is stimulated.

Sound is received by external ear or pinna that travels into the ear canal and causes the eardrum or tympanic membrane to move. The tympanic membrane vibrates with sound waves. Sound vibrations move through the ear bones or ossicles to the cochlea and cochlea moves due to sound vibration. Fluid movement causes the hair cells to move. As hair cells move up and down, electrical signals is generated. The auditory nerve sends electrical signal to the brain, which turns it into a sound.

Answer:

1. Lack of Money

2. Lack of Awareness/ Ignorance

3. Religion      

Explanation:

1. <em>Money</em> plays a crucial role when it comes to seeking health services. Once a person lacks in it, it prevents him from accessing specific health services. For example, he'd like to have his heart checked but he doesn't have enough money even to pay the doctor's fee, so he doesn't visit the doctor.

2. <em>Lack of awareness of a particular condition or disease</em> may lead to <u>not accessing health services at all.</u> For example, a person thinks that his symptom of coughing for two weeks is just normal. Thus, he doesn't seek any medical help.

3. <em>Specific religions may have their own sets of belief regarding medical treatments and healthcare.</em> For example, many priests do not agree with flu vaccination because there are findings that it could somehow cause sterility. In Christian religion, reproduction is reinforced so this means that some Christians may not avail of the flu vaccine due to its said sterility effects.
