100
The part of the ICD9 that has a code range of 390-459
What is Diseases of the Circulatory System
100
The section of the CPT book that has a code range of 33010 - 36556.
What is Cardiovascular System
100
Composed of arteries, which carry oxygenated blood away from the heart out to the tissues and cells, and veins, which carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart
What is Peripheral Vascular System
100
A series of very rapid heartbeats that is generally not life-threatening, but may be uncomfortable and frightening to a patient
What is SVT(Supraventricular Tachycardia)
100
Also called congestive heart failure (CHF), and can be a life-threatening condition because the heart either pumps blood ineffectively or can no longer pump enough blood to the vital organs and peripheral blood system
What is CHF(Congestive Heart Failure)
200
One thing you need to watch out for is that if NSTEMI evolves to STEMI, you should assign the STEMI code. You should also use a STEMI code when STEMI converts to NSTEMI due to thrombolytic therapy.
What is STEMI overrides NSTEMI guidelines
200
The section in the CPT that has a code range of 3401-36556.
What is Arteries and veins
200
Artery that divides into the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex branch.
What is (LCA) Left coronary artery
200
A treatment of choice because it may eliminate or cure a patient’s SVT. The physician inserts a catheter percutaneously. The catheter has an electrode at its tip, which is inserted into the area of heart muscle where there's an accessory pathway causing the extra electrical stimulation or impulse and subsequently the rapid heart rate. Then mild, painless radiofrequency energy (similar to microwave heat) is transmitted to the pathway, destroying the select problematic heart muscle cells. That stops the area from conducting the extra impulses that caused the rapid heartbeats.
What is CRA(Catheter Radiofrequency Ablation)
200
This condition may affect the right-sided heart failure (RHF), the left-sided heart failure (LHF), or both sides of the heart,
What is (CCF) Congestive Cardiac Heart Failure
300
What code range in the ICD9 book covers the Respiratory system?
What is 460-519
300
What code range in the CPT covers the Respiratory System?
What is 30000-32999
300
Lined with columnar epithelia tissue that contains goblet cells that produce mucous and cilia (tiny little hairs) that act as an air filter.
What is Respiratory System
300
A muscular valve that relaxes when swallowing, so that the larynx is closed off and food is directed through the esophagus.
What is (UES) Upper Esophageal Sphincter
300
When a patient does not respond to asthma treatments, and an acute episode becomes more severe and extended
What is Status Asthmaticus
400
What code range covers Acute Respiratory infections in the iCD9?
What is 460-466
400
What code range in the CPT covers the Digestive system?
What is 40490-49999
400
The area between the nasal passage and the mouth (buccal cavity).
What is Nasopharynx
400
The muscular valve that surrounds the esophagus going into the stomach. These two valves, when functioning correctly, prevent stomach contents from regurgitating.
What is (LES) Lower Esophageal Sphincter
400
This organ has 4 main sections which include the Cardia, Corpus, Antrum, and Pylorus Sphincter.
What is Stomach
500
What code range in the ICD9 covers Diseases of the Digestive System?
What is 520-579
500
What section of the CPT covers the Stomach?
What is 43500-43999
500
This organ is behind the stomach, posterior to the duodenum. It functions as both an exocrine and endocrine gland.
What is Pancreas
500
Refers to two lung diseases, both of which are characterized by airflow obstruction
What is (COPD) Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema
500
A group of digestive enzymes that are present in saliva. This is also in pancreatic juice and other parts of the body. It catalizes (facilitates) the hydrolysis (breakdown or synthesis) of complex starch to simple sugars.
What is Amylase
