I need it if 15 hours time.

As a medical assistant, you are performing reagent chemical strip analyses on patient specimens when you discover a specimen that is more than 2 hours old and has been sitting at room temperature during this time.

When you remove the lid from the container, you smell a foul, ammonia-like odor. The chemical strip indicates positive protein, positive nitrite, and positive bacteria. The microscopic analysis reveals four bacteria but no evidence of white blood cells.

What is the maximum length of time that a urine specimen should be left at room temperature?

If analysis cannot be performed within that maximum length of time, how should the specimen be handled?

An ammonia-like or foul odor associated with a specimen ordinarily indicates what condition or disease?

Does the chemical analysis confirm your suspicion associated with the odor? Given the circumstances, can you trust the results on this specimen?

Review the following lecture:

  • Coding for Medical Necessity

Introduction:

In order to properly code a bill for medical necessity, it is important to understand the electronic medical record. This record contains information about the patient’s health both before and after the treatment and has the data needed to assure a payer that the treatment was necessary.

Tasks:

  • Explain the contents of the medical record.
  • Describe SOAP notes—subjective, objective, assessment, and plan.
  • Explain operative reports function in medical necessity coding.
  • Explain National and Local coverage determinations.

Submission Details:

  • Submit the report as a 5- to 10-page Microsoft Word document. Use APA standards for citations and references.
  • Cite a minimum of three outside peer-reviewed sources to support your assertions and save it as SU_HCM1201_W3_Project_LastName_FirstInitial.doc. Submit the report to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
  • Cite any sources using correct APA format on a separate page.

Instructions

NCF:

This final project assignment is associated with the NCF (non-completion failure) grade. Failure to complete this assignment will result in the issuance of a grade of NCF if the course average would result in a failing grade in the course. Students should contact their Academic Counselor or Program Director if they have any questions regarding the NCF grade and its implications.

Introduction:

In order to properly code a bill for medical necessity, it is important to understand different plans and the requirements for billing each. It is true that they all use the ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding system, the CPT procedure coding system, and the CMS-1500 form, but each type of carrier has certain requirements for a clean bill.

Tasks:

  • Create a billing manual constructed of summaries of each type of insurance.
  • Include the major requirements for billing for each type.
  • Note inpatient or outpatient differences where appropriate.
  • Explain how to determine from the patient which type they subscribe to.

Submission Details:

  • Submit this topic as an 8- to 10-page Microsoft Word document. Use APA standards for citations and references.
  • Cite a minimum of three outside peer-reviewed sources to support your assertions and save it as SU_HCM1201_W5_Project_LastName_FirstInitial.doc. Submit the report to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
  • Cite any sources using correct APA format on a separate page.

While it is true that the CMS-1500 claim form may not be used for private-pay patients, this form will be required for all claims when the patient is covered by any form of insurance to recover payment for services. A working knowledge of the CMS-1500 is essential for all persons working in the revenue and billing area of healthcare.

Tasks:

  • Using the CMS-1500 form, fill out the form for a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (page 183 of text) and a radiological Oncology treatment (page 278 of text).
  • Use patient information found on EOB Figure 4-17 of text (page 90).
  • Describe the process of submitting this claim form through a third-party administrator.

Submission Details:

  • Submit the process as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document. Use APA standards for citations and references.
  • Cite a minimum of three outside peer-reviewed sources to support your assertions and save it as SU_HCM1201_W2_Project_LastName_FirstInitial.doc. Submit the process to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
  • Cite any sources using correct APA format on a separate page.

Medical Case Study Operative Report

/in /by

I NEED THIS DONE WITHIN THE NEXT 20 MINUTES. IT IS JUST ONE CASE STUDY QUESTION NOT A WHOLE ASSIGNMENT. 

After reading the operative report below, provide a complete response and codes to the questions that follow.
 

Findings:  The patient had a superficial wound dehiscence with exposure of his  leads. He had a small area of lead fraying on lead one. After the leads  were freed up from the scar and the pocket, that showed one area of lead  dropout on interrogation.
 

The patient was taken to the  operating room and placed in the supine position. General endotracheal  anesthesia was obtained. The patient had the usual monitors placed. The  patient was then rolled prone onto the Jackson OSI table. All of the  soft tissue areas were well padded. The patient had the usual monitors  placed. He then had the chest wound for the new generator site  identified with the incision identified using C-arm fluoroscopy in the  AP plane and the course of the lead was followed and the lead was  planned to be explanted at a new level and then reconnected to the  generator, which would be disconnected from the lead to the present  location pocket. The patient had a timeout done per protocol confirming  the correct patient, correct procedure, and all equipment that was  necessary from the Boston Scientific pacemaker rep. The patient then had  the incisions injected with local and the initial incision was made  over the area where the generator was. Sharp dissection was used to get  down to the generator layer, and bipolar cautery was used for  hemostasis. The leads were dissected free from the superficial aspect of  the incision and then the area of the generator was exposed, and the  generator was explanted and then it was disconnected from the leads, and  the temporary stoppers were placed in the lead holes on the generator  and secured and then the generator was placed in antibiotic solution.  The area of the leads was then inspected and noted to be markedly  scarred in the pocket where they had been positioned behind the  generator. These were dissected free using the Bovie cautery on cutting  mode and, once the leads had been freed up from all the scar, the new  pocket was made hemostatic and was irrigated out. The leads were then  exposed through the other incision for the new generator site. This was  placed approximately 5 in. above the present site and then, once the  leads had been identified in the depth of the new incision, they were  mobilized and dissected free and then mobilized up to the new incision  and then wrapped in an antibiotic soaked lap. The new pocket was created  using a Bovie cautery and the Army-Navy retractors and, once hemostasis  was obtained using the suction cautery, the area was irrigated out and  then the old generator site was irrigated out. Then the generator was  brought up after we had changed our gloves on the field and then the  generator had the stoppers removed and the leads were then placed in  their usual positions. The generator was placed halfway in the pocket  and then interrogated by the Boston Scientific rep, and the #1 lead was  noted to have one area of dropout but otherwise was functioning well.  This was consistent with a small area of fraying of the lead with the  bulk of the lead intact. The leads were then tightened and then  reinterrogated with otherwise good function noted, normal impedances,  and then the excess lead was placed behind the generator in the pocket.  Then the pocket was irrigated out again with Vancomycin antibiotic  solution and, once both pockets had been irrigated out, the wound was  closed in multiple layers and the skin was ultimately closed with  staples at both sites. The patient then had the wounds cleaned off and  dressed and the patient was then rolled supine and extubated and brought  back to the recovery room alert and moving all extremities.
