NEW QUESTION # 120
The table below provides data indicating the use of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) diagnosis code assignment for years 1 and 2 of an ambulatory CDI program. Based on the data and if the HCC value assigned to MDD was 0.299, which of the following should be inferred?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Year 2 shows a higher total volume of MDD diagnoses (185,090 vs. 155,501), but the key CDI signal is the shift in coding specificity: "MDD, specified" increases substantially (118,516 vs. 76,318), while "MDD, unspecified" decreases (66,574 vs. 79,193). In outpatient CDI terms, this pattern is consistent with improved documentation quality and code capture-providers are describing the condition with greater clinical detail (episode type, severity, remission status, recurrence, etc.), allowing assignment of more specific ICD codes. When an HCC value (0.299) is associated with MDD, improved capture of qualifying, specific MDD codes supports more accurate risk adjustment. That increases the accuracy of projected resource need and affects future cost benchmarking (and potentially quality/utilization comparisons) because the population's documented burden of illness is better represented. Therefore, the appropriate inference is increased patients plus increased "specified" use and decreased "unspecified," with an impact on future benchmarking.
NEW QUESTION # 121
A 76-year-old patient presents for a wellness visit. The patient's vitals are BP 120/80, T 98.7, R 19, and there are no abnormal findings in the exam. The patient has COPD, home oxygen, anemia, hypertension, diabetes, fatigue, and weakness. The patient's medications are called into the pharmacy and home health resource of choice. Which of the following is the BEST query option?
Answer: D
Explanation:
The best query is chronic respiratory failure because home oxygen is a strong clinical indicator that often reflects an underlying chronic hypoxemic condition beyond uncomplicated COPD. Outpatient CDI guidance stresses that queries should be driven by present clinical indicators in the note and should seek clarification that impacts accurate diagnosis capture and ongoing care. Here, the provider documents COPD plus home oxygen and is arranging continued services (medication management and home health), which supports asking whether the patient has a reportable condition such as chronic respiratory failure with hypoxia (or COPD with chronic hypoxemia) and whether it is being monitored/managed. The other options lack support: acute blood loss anemia has no bleeding, hemodynamic instability, or acute findings; peripheral neuropathy is not assessed or described despite diabetes; and CKD has no labs, staging, history, or assessment. A compliant query would be non-leading and include the indicator (home O₂) and request the most accurate diagnosis and specificity/status.
NEW QUESTION # 122
In February, a patient is diagnosed with prostate cancer, which is classified as HCC 23. In October, the patient is diagnosed with prostate cancer with bone metastases, which is classified as HCC 18. Which of the following is true about the patient's risk score?
Answer: D
Explanation:
In the CMS-HCC model, many related conditions are organized into hierarchies so that only the most severe manifestation within a disease family contributes to the RAF. This prevents double counting when multiple codes describe progressive severity of the same underlying condition. Cancer categories are a common example: a diagnosis reflecting metastatic disease represents substantially higher expected resource utilization than a diagnosis of localized/primary malignancy. In this scenario, the February prostate cancer maps to a lower-severity HCC (HCC 23), while the October documentation of prostate cancer with bone metastases maps to a higher-severity HCC (HCC 18). When both are captured within the applicable period, the hierarchy logic retains the higher-weighted metastatic category and suppresses the lower category. The timing of which was coded first does not control the hierarchy outcome, and both HCCs are not counted together when they fall within the same hierarchical grouping. Therefore, the patient's risk score calculation reflects HCC 18 rather than HCC 23.
NEW QUESTION # 123
A patient is evaluated in the clinic. Documentation states: "HIV positive, gravida 1 at 24 weeks." Which of the following conditions will be coded and in which sequence based on the documentation?
Answer: D
Explanation:
In outpatient coding, selection and sequencing must follow ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, including obstetric chapter rules. When HIV is documented in a pregnant patient, the pregnancy complication code is sequenced first because the pregnancy status frames the encounter and drives the obstetric complication coding structure. The phrase "HIV positive" (without documentation of HIV-related illness or "HIV disease") is treated as asymptomatic HIV infection status, which aligns with the status concept rather than active HIV disease. Therefore, the correct approach is to code pregnancy complicated by asymptomatic HIV first (obstetric complication category), followed by the HIV status code to fully describe the condition affecting the pregnancy. Options that place "pregnancy" second do not follow obstetric sequencing conventions, and options that assume "HIV disease" overstep the documentation because "HIV positive" alone does not confirm symptomatic HIV disease. Outpatient CDI best practice would be to query if the provider intends HIV disease versus asymptomatic status, but based strictly on the given statement, pregnancy with asymptomatic HIV is most appropriate.
NEW QUESTION # 124
What diagnoses are included in code category N18, chronic kidney disease?
Answer: D
Explanation:
ICD-10-CM category N18 (Chronic kidney disease) is used to report CKD by stage, including stage-based descriptors and end stage renal disease (ESRD). Within N18, codes identify CKD stage 1 through stage 5, ESRD (stage 5D), and CKD unspecified. Outpatient CDI review focuses on ensuring providers document the stage (often supported by eGFR trends) because stage drives correct code selection and accurately reflects disease severity for risk, quality, and medical necessity. Options that include dialysis are not part of N18 itself; dialysis status and encounter codes are reported elsewhere (e.g., dialysis dependence/status codes), not as N18 category diagnoses. AKI (acute kidney injury) and ATN (acute tubular necrosis) are acute renal conditions and are coded outside N18. Likewise, polycystic kidney disease and "uremia" are separate diagnoses with their own code categories. Therefore, the set that correctly matches what N18 represents is CKD stage-based diagnoses such as CKD stage 3, more advanced/severe CKD stages, and ESRD.
