• 15. Medicare Physicals Question: I would like to know more about coding a medicare annual & subsequent visit comparing to a regular physical which we all know medicare doesn’t cover. They cover 1 welcome to medicare physical & then starts with the annual or subsequent visits. ANSWER
• 16. Question: In May’s Webinar you referenced a CLIA WAIVED modifier – QW, that was linked to a Rapid Strep Test. How did you know to attach the QW? I am not even certain what it means. Modifier QW ANSWER

• 18. Ejection Fraction Question: What is an Ejection Fraction? Can I code an Ejection Fraction of 0% as with occlusion? ANSWER
• 19. Epileptic Seizure Coding Question: Can I get opinions on the correct diagnosis coding for seizure (in an epileptic patient)? If final diagnosis code is seizure, but the patient also has epilepsy, should you code to 780.39 or go to the 345.xx series of codes? ANSWER
• 20. Question: Can you tell me if some of the leveling exercise answers may be incorrect? E/M It says to “drop the lowest” on the 2 of 3 Office established patient so I ended up getting several wrong when I did that ( ie. PPL, I put, 212,212,213) and it said 212 would have been correct on the answer sheet I printed out…. maybe I’m not getting it? ANSWER E/M 2 of 3 Office Est Patient
• 21. Question: I’m having a difficult time distinguishing between how coding is done for each side (Inpatient – vs – Outpatient). Are we coding everything (e.g. Signs & symptoms) in outpatient and just the definitive diagnosis on the inpatient, or do I have them confused? ANSWER Inpatient vs Outpatient Coding
