Part A: Read the following scenario:

 

Mrs. Jane Sample (DOB 12/22/1967) called her primary care provider’s office and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Billings for Monday, October 22nd, 2015. She requested the appointment because she had a cough and some congestion as well as wheezing and a fever off and on for about three days prior. Upon registration, she informed the front desk that she had new insurance effective October 1, 2015.

 

The insurance card was scanned and the following information was verified:

  • Name: Jane Sample
  • DOB 12/22/1967
  • Address: 211 First Lane

 Houston, TX 77398

  • Phone Number: (555) 727-5555
  • Insurance Subscriber: John Sample 

    • DOB: 5/25/1965

 

The doctor examined Mrs. Sample and felt that due to the wheezing, a chest X-ray was needed to determine if pneumonia was present. This patient has had a history of pneumonia, so it was medically necessary to evaluate the present signs and symptoms. The chest X-ray did reveal left lobe pneumonia.

 

Mrs. Sample was given prescriptions for Erythromycin 500mg three times daily, Prednisone 5mg once daily, and Tessalon Pearls as needed for cough every four hours.

 

Dr. Billings filled out the encounter form with the following information:

  • Office Visit level of service: 99214   Charges: 150.00
  • Chest xray: 71020   Charges: 125.00
  • Diagnosis: Left Lower Lobe Pneumonia  J18.1
  • Ralph Billings MD
  • 777 Smith Avenue
  • Houston, TX 77398
  • Phone (555) 555-5555
  • NPI: 1234567891
