Procedure Coding Procedure codes are a very important part of medical billing. They are used to describe the level of service provided to the patient. The level of service must agree with the diagnostic code that was discussed. Payers link the two together to determine if they agree before proceeding with payment decisions. A lack of connection between the diagnostic code and the procedure code will result in a denial of payment or a slowdown in payment. Both are bad for a practices cashflow. Apply basic procedure coding methods. Include the following aspects in the discussion: List 3 important topics you learned about the methods of Procedure Coding. Find a secondary source that dicusses this topic and share it with peer Discuss how you will address a denial of payment due to improper diagnostic and procedure coding

True or False Encoding is the process of converting a program into instructions that can be understood by the computer. Data Gathering is the sequential process of analyzing information related to a given situation and generating appropriate response options. A data type is a list of similar types of data values that are grouped to be processed as one entity. Pseudo codes are set of rules on how statements can be conveyed. Rectangle is a flow chart diagram which visually presents the flow of data through processing system. The process of creating executable program through code written using a compiled programming language is called execution.
Race conditions are possible in many computer systems. Consider an accounting system of an organization where multiple users have access to an account to which they can either deposit or withdraw from: deposit(amount) and withdraw(amount). These two functions are passed the amount that is to be deposited or withdrawn from the account balance. Assume that Mary and Joe are employees who have access to this account. Currently, the balance in the account is $3000. If Mary executes deposit(500) and simultaneously Joe executes withdraw(300) from the account, describe how a race condition is possible and what might be done to prevent the race condition from occurring. Show the possible balances with race condition and when race condition is prevented.
