explain how to improve documentation to support coding and billing for maximum reimbursement.   

Assignment

Insurance coding and billing is complex, but it boils down to how to accurately apply a code, or CPT (current procedural terminology), to the service that you provided. The payer then reimburses the service at a certain rate. As a provider, you will have to understand what codes to use and what documentation is necessary to support coding.

For this Assignment, you will review evaluation and management (E/M) documentation for a patient and perform a crosswalk of codes from DSM-5-TR to ICD-10.

· Review this week’s Learning Resources on coding, billing, reimbursement.

· Review the E/M patient case scenario provided.

· Assign  DSM-5-TR and ICD-10 codes to services based upon the patient case scenario.

Then, in 1–2 pages address the following. You may add your narrative answers to these questions to the bottom of the case scenario document and submit altogether as one document.

· Explain what pertinent information, generally, is required in documentation to support  DSM-5-TR and ICD-10 coding.

· Explain what pertinent documentation is missing from the case scenario, and what other information would be helpful to narrow your coding and billing options.

· Finally, explain how to improve documentation to support coding and billing for maximum reimbursement.

What clarification questions would you ask Ms. Avery?

You are a principal conducting an informal observation of Ms. Avery’s eighth grade history classroom. It is the last 10 minutes of class and upon entering the classroom, you observe Ms. Avery seated behind her desk and the students working independently on a worksheet pertaining to the Civil War. Approximately one-third of the students are working independently, one-third are working in pairs or small groups, and one-third are not working on the assignment at all. The students not working on the assignment are using electronic devices, chatting quietly or just sitting.

When Ms. Avery sees you enter the room, she stands up, tells the students that they have five more minutes to finish the class work, and proceeds to move around the classroom checking to see how far along students are on the worksheet. With five minutes left in the period, she asks students to return to their seats, which they do quickly, and she proceeds to go over the classwork in a whole group setting. Ms. Avery asks students randomly to share their answers and takes a few clarifying questions from the class. The students’ ticket out the door is to write down on a scale of 1-4 how comfortable they are with their understanding of the Civil War.

What clarification questions would you ask Ms. Avery? What constructive feedback would you present to Ms. Avery?

What is the judge’s ruling?

You Be The Judge #6: TYPES OF WARRANTIES
INTRODUCTION:
Read the overview below and complete the activities that follow.
The following “You be the Judge” video involves a scenario where the judge must determine whether there are any express or implied warranties for products sold by the defendant. The defendant sold guitars to the plaintiff’s company, and the plaintiff argues that the guitars did not meet the specifications they agreed upon.
CONCEPT REVIEW:
At common law, the only implied warranty is the warranty of assignability. When a party “assigns” a contract to another party, the assignor is impliedly guaranteeing that the rights being assigned are valid. However, the Uniform Commercial Code adds to this concept. The warranties discussed in this chapter include both express and implied warranties. Express warranties are explicitly stated, whereas implied warranties are automatically, as a matter of law, injected into the contract.

What is the judge’s ruling? In your answer, discuss any and all express and implied warranties.. As part of your answer, please define express warranty, implied warranty, disclaimer, and any relevant implied warranties. With reference to Exhibit 1-1, which Purpose of the Law is fulfilled by the Implied Warranties of Quality that arise under the UCC? Why?

What is the main argument that the author is trying to make?

Your job in this assignment is to evaluate and reflect on the argument of a professional historian. In each week’s “Weekly Readings” folder, you will find one secondary source. You may choose any one of these secondary sources. I have tried to pick a variety of interesting topics and things that scholars have written recently.
Once you choose your reading, you need to approach it with a critical eye. Here are the two things you need to look for while you’re reading:
1. What is the main argument that the author is trying to make?
2. What are the specific sources that they’re using to support that argument?

How does this type of process aid our legal system?

Third Party Beneficiaries
Introduction:
Contracts may be written to benefit a third party. The law recognizes that third parties who are intended beneficiaries have the right to enforce the contracts.

Concept Review:
An intended beneficiary is a third party to a contract whom the contracting parties intended to benefit directly from their contract.
Case:
Please read CASE 13-3: Lawrence v. Fox, 20 N.Y. 268 (1859).
Critical Thinking Question: Form an opinion about the contemporary relevance of this ruling. Given the widespread and extremely significant changes in U.S. society and the world over the past 150 years, what is the justification for consideration of such an old case? How does this type of process aid our legal system? How might it detract from the reasonableness of modern deliberations? Please remember to define promisor, promisee, and intended beneficiary in your discussion.

What are your thoughts on cloud computing and virtualization? 

As you craft your initial post, you will be using information from your texts, along with conducting independent research with sources outside of the required texts. Start your discussion with the following questions:

What are your thoughts on cloud computing and virtualization? Use your independent research to forecast and substantiate the future landscape.

  • Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are extremely important when discussing the relationship between a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) and their customers.  Research what elements should be included in a SLA.  What could go wrong if a SLA is not thorough and complete?
  • Considering the items you researched above,   In your opinion why are SLAs important?  Don’t forget to consider the financial aspect as well.
  • It is also important to consider the physical vs. the cyber issues in regard to SLAs, What are these differences and how do you ensure they are covered within a SLA?
  • Provide examples of how a SLA can benefit both the CSP and the customer,  in preparing for your discussion, research thy dynamic of the relationship between the CSP and the customer to fully understand the benefits.

Keep in Mind: You will need to perform independent research beyond the course text materials in order to discuss and explain the elements of a comprehensive and well-thought-out position. Consider all facets that are necessary to be proactive and successful in evaluating not only what is happening now, but also the potential future landscape.
