Ellen Armstrong, CMAS (AMT), administrative medical assistant at Inner City Health Care, has been chiefly responsible for managing this clinic’s medical records. However, because Ellen is only a part-time employee, the clinic manager feels she needs to delegate some of the responsibility of maintaining all clinic files to Liz Corbin, CMA (AAMA), a medical assistant who also works part-time. Ellen knows the system well and had a hand in designing an effective numeric filing method that both ensures patient confidentiality and satisfies the needs of Inner City and its large volume of patients. Now she is trying to orient Liz, who has little experience with the filing system, to the intricacies of medical records management. What is a good starting point for Liz Corbin's education in medical records management?
Scenario: You are a writer on a hit medical television show. The producers lean on your expertise on medical topics to ensure accuracy in the actors’ portrayal of each scene. The characters you are writing for are nurses, doctors, patients, and patients’ families in a hospital. It’s up to you to create the location or department in the hospital (Emergency Room, the nurses’ station, or even the hallway), the characters in your scene, the topic they will discuss, and how the conversation unfolds. In a script format, including atleast two characters, discuss with facts one skin disorder, the diagnosis and best treatment.
In the CPT, Surgery is the largest section for category I codes. Its code range is from 10000 to 69990 and each subsection within Surgery is divided based on body systems, since we can have surgical procedures from head to toe. As every other section of the CPT manual, the Surgery section has its own colored guidelines.
For our third discussion, please answer the following questions in your initial post:
When are the new guidelines in the coding manuals published and when do they become effective?
What would happen if we do not adhere to these?

She stated she recently volunteered as a camp leader for a girls' camp for the past week. The physician examined the areas and, using a small amount of sterile mineral oil on a lesion, scrapped the skin, placed it onto a slide, and examined it under a microscope, diagnosing the client with scabies.
