Improving Newborn Professional Billing at a Community Hospital.
Hosp Pediatr
January 2025
Children's National Hospital, Washington, DC.
Introduction: In community hospital medicine programs, newborns often represent a large patient population with diverse clinical needs. Capturing the care provided through professional billing provides the foundation for division revenue; however, provider knowledge on how to optimally bill is often lacking. Our group underused Hospital Care current procedural terminology (CPT) evaluation and management (E/M) codes for newborns requiring increased monitoring, diagnostic interventions, or therapy.

To determine the relationship between comorbid sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and hospitalization rates related to diabetes mellitus (DM) and atherosclerotic disease (AD). This study used a retrospective cohort design from a large medical claims database with 5 years of data between 2018 and 2022. The presences of SDB, DM, and AD were identified using International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and relevant Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe asbestosis morbidity and mortality in two statewide samples. We considered trends, demographic disparities, and excess mortality.
Methods: We assessed trends and demographic differences in asbestosis morbidity using hospital and emergency department (ED) visits.
Intravenous and oral administration of the synthetic RNA drug, TY1, reverses heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in mice.

TY1, a synthetic non-coding RNA (ncRNA) bioinspired by small Y RNAs abundant in extracellular vesicles (EVs), decreases cGAS/STING activation in myocardial infarction and thereby attenuates inflammation. Motivated by the concept that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a systemic inflammatory disease, we tested TY1 in a murine model of HFpEF. Intravenous TY1, packaged in a transfection reagent, reversed the cardiac and systemic manifestations of HFpEF in two-hit obese-hypertensive mice, without inducing weight loss.

From the Campbell Clinic Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Biomedical Engineering, University of Tennessee Health Science Center (Dr. Koolmees, Dr. White, Dr. Azar, Dr. Bettin), Memphis, TN, and the Murphy Statistical Services (Mr. Murphy), Warsaw, IN.
Background: The goal of this study was to determine changes in orthopaedic coding practices between December 2020 and January 2021 after training providers on the 2021 Current Procedural Terminology Evaluation and Management (E&M) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services guideline changes.
Methods: Outpatient encounters in December 2020, January 2021, December 2021, and January 2023 were grouped by provider and E&M code level. The codes used for established patients were 99211, 99212, 99213, 99214, and 99215, ordered from low to high-complexity visits.
