    Defining CPT Code Categories

    There are three different code categories, Category I, II, and III. The first category I codes are the most numerous and each are five digits long all numeric. Each of them has a description of the procedure the code is for. For example 99204 is Officer or other outpatient visit for evaluation and management of a new patient. They are grouped into sections, but they can be used by any physician. For instance a regular physician may use a surgical code even though he is not a surgeon. Each of these codes are for procedures that are known working procedures. So chemotherapy is a known working procedure it would fall under category I, but a procedure that they are still testing for effectiveness would not be in this category. Category II codes are used to track performance measures for medical goes. For instance, when a patient comes in to lose weight or to quit smoking, then the category II code comes into use. Each of these codes has an alphabetic character as the last digit. Category III codes are used for temporary technology, services, and procedures, but if they are proven effective then it can turn into a permanent code. So these codes are only used for experimental procedures. When a new procedure is introduced, but not yet proven effective then it is assigned a temporary code. If the procedure is proven affective then it can switch and become a permanent code, and these also have an alphabetic character for the last digit. So an easy way to remember these categories would be:…

    Essay On Medical Coding

    As a child growing up, I have seen aunts; uncles and cousin pursue a career in the medical field. So as I got older I wanted a career in the medical field too, but as a registered nurse (RN). I love watching TV shows on people who was there to help others in the time of sickness or an emergency and I can see myself doing that because I like to help others. I even started a local community college and took classes towards the nursing program; I got pregnant and did not go back to college. Until now, choosing a career in the medical billing and coding showed me that it is less school, can earn a certificate or associates degree, how much a person can earn for a living through a year, how you can work in a building or work from the comfort of your home.…

    Patient Journaling

    I think journaling is beneficial to anyone. I can't believe that I never suggested it to my patients. My background is criminal justice and sometimes I get nervous about what the patient is going to do with the pencil. However, I will offer journaling to patients who are alert and oriented and able to write. What I like most about this BSN program is that each class is teaching me that I have certain stereotypes when it comes to patients. I automatically assumed that most of my patients were incapable of…

    Clinical Placement

    The first six weeks of the nursing program has forced me to turn myself inside out and examine/analyze a lot about my way of life. It has forced me to look deeply into my communication and listening skills. I have learned many different ways to deal with situations and problems that may arise with my impersonal and Intrapersonal relationships. I’ve been trying out different skills with my roommate and trying to really understand what we do in class by actually doing it. I have always found it hard to express myself if I thought I would hurt someone or that a confrontation may arise. But I am now more aware of different ways to handle conversations so that I express myself fully ant the outcome is wondrous and successful. - author unknown…
