COMPLETE WITH INSTRUCTIONS

WK4 QUESTION3 HP-216


Instructions: Provide the most correct response.

Question



One of the guidelines for effective physician queries is:


Responses

· Questions need not be supported by clinical findings



· You may introduce any new information not contained in the record



· You can present the impact to reimbursement



· Do not provide leading information



Physician queries are acceptable in what format(s)?


Responses

· Multiple Choice



· “Yes”/”No”



· Open Ended



·
All of these



A patient is admitted from the ED with signs and symptoms of infection, including fever and elevated WBC. The admitting diagnosis is UTI with suspected sepsis. Possible sepsis is noted on the H&P and the infectious disease consult. Progress notes initially include “sepsis”. The blood culture comes back negative, however, and following this, the diagnosis of sepsis continues to be documented on the progress notes as these are copied-and-pasted from day to day. The Discharge Summary documents “UTI—sepsis was ruled out”.

A physician query would be appropriate in this instance.


Responses

· True


True

·
False





A patient develops anemia following a major surgery. The OR states that there was some bleeding; however, there were no additional procedures performed to control the bleeding that would not otherwise have been done. The patient was transfused, though, and serial H&Hs were followed throughout the remainder of the admission. Fluid overload also developed during the admission, around the same time as the patient was transfused. The final diagnosis on the Discharge Summary is simply “anemia”. The body of the Discharge Summary attributes this to hemodilution from IV fluids.

A physician query would be appropriate in this instance:


Responses

· True



·
False

·
Coding guidelines indicate when both diagnoses are listed, either may be assigned

·
Not appropriate, no additional information is needed for coding purposes

An X-ray was ordered for the right hip, and the radiology report describes the location of the fracture as intertrochanteric.

Is a query for clarification of laterality and specific location of the fracture be constructed?


Responses

· Yes, the coder should always code to the highest level of specificity, so this information will be needed to do so.


.

· Yes, the radiology report cannot be utilized for capturing this information.



· No, the radiology report cannot be used as the sole documentation, however, can be used to support coding to a greater level of specificity.



· Yes, the coder should utilize the radiology report as the supporting clinical indicator for the query.


Yes, the coder should utilize the radiology report as the supporting clinical indicator for the query.
