Pleаse review the inpаtient scenаriо: Diagnоsis: Crоhn's disease with rectal abscess Procedure performed: incision and drainage Indications: The patient is a 48-year-old male with a known history of Crohn's disease of the small intestine who presented with severe sepsis thought to be secondary to a rectal abscess unrelated to his Crohn's disease. Diagnostic codes: K50.00 - Crohn's disease of small intestine K61.1 - Rectal Abscess A41.9 - Sepsis, unspecified organism R65.20 - Severe sepsis without septic shock 1. Are all of the codes listed correct (yes or no)? [1] Question 1 will require you to step into the auditor position. Review the case and each code provided for accuracy and completeness. Do not evaluate for sequence errors at this time. Consider: Are there too many diagnoses? Are they coded accurately? Are all the codes applicable? If any of the codes are inaccurately or inappropriately coded, such as codes that are an integral part of the confirmed condition, the answer should be no. 2. Are all of the diagnosis code(s) in the correct sequence (yes or no)? [2] Question 2 will require you to evaluate the sequence provided and audit the coders work to determine if the codes are reported in the correct order. Do not provide any correction at this time. If the appropriately coded diagnoses from Question 1 are out of sequence, answer “No.” Ignore any codes that are irrelevant to the case. 3. If the listed code(s) and or sequence of the code(s) is incorrect you must list the corrected code(s) sequence or state "no changes. [3] (Answer format: X11.11, Y11.11, Z11.11) In Question 3, If you found any inaccuracies that require changes, list the corrected code(s) and the proper sequence that accurately reflect the encounter as it has been documented. If you determined that the codes were all correct and the sequence is correct, the answer should be "no changes". If you determined that the codes were all correct and the sequence is correct, the answer should be "no changes".
Pleаse review the inpаtient scenаriо: Pre-оperative Diagnоsis: Need for Long-term ventilation Post-operative diagnosis: Same Procedure performed: Tracheostomy Indications: This57-year-old, alcohol-dependent, male, patient was admitted due to severe alcohol withdrawal. He subsequently developed acute respiratory distress syndrome due to the withdrawal and has been on mechanical ventilation for a week. The patient has failed multiple attempts at weaning and therefore needs a tracheostomy for long-term ventilation purposes. Diagnostic codes: J80 - Acute respiratory distress syndrome F10.239 - Alcohol dependence with withdrawal, unspecified 1. Are all of the codes listed correct (yes or no)? [1] Question 1 will require you to step into the auditor position. Review the case and each code provided for accuracy and completeness. Do not evaluate for sequence errors at this time. Consider: Are there too many diagnoses? Are they coded accurately? Are all the codes applicable? Are signs and symptoms included in the codes? If any of the codes are inaccurately or inappropriately coded, such as codes that are an integral part of the confirmed condition, the answer should be no. 2.

Pleаse review the inpаtient scenаriо: Pre-оperative Diagnоsis: Left progressive acoustic neuroma Post-operative diagnosis: Left progressive acoustic neuroma Procedure performed: Gamma-knife resection of the neuroma Indications: This 46-year-old, male, patient with chronic benign HTN and rheumatoid arthritis presented a month ago with new onset symptoms of hearing loss on the left side, tinnitus, and headache. MRI shoed an enhancing mass in the left cerebellopontine (CP) angle cistern and left internal auditory canal. Due to the complexity of the mass location, the patient opted to have gamma knife surgery. Diagnostic codes: D33.3 - Benign neoplasm of cranial nerves I10 - Essential (primary) hypertension M06.9 - Rheumatoid arthritis, unspecified H91.92 - Unspecified hearing loss, left ear H93.19 - Tinnitus, unspecified R51.9 - Headache, unspecified H93.8X2 - Other specified disorders of left ear 1.
