What code best describes an ablation of a polyp in the colon?
- A.
Bipolar cautery removal
- B.
Snare
- C.

A Cochlear implant is placed in the :
- A.
Cornea
- B.
Inner Ear
- C.
Heart
- D.
Spine
Correct Answer
B. Inner EarExplanation
A cochlear implant is a medical device that is surgically placed in the inner ear. It is specifically designed to bypass damaged or non-functioning parts of the ear and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. By doing so, it allows individuals with severe hearing loss or deafness to perceive sound. Placing the implant in the inner ear ensures that the electrical signals generated by the device can reach the auditory nerve and be transmitted to the brain for interpretation. The cornea, heart, and spine do not play a role in hearing, making the inner ear the correct placement for a cochlear implant.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Report only the units for the highest unit value procedure.Explanation
The correct answer is to report only the units for the highest unit value procedure. This means that when calculating the unit value of services for two procedures performed on the same patient during the same operative session, only the units for the procedure with the highest unit value should be reported. This is because the unit value represents the complexity and intensity of the procedure, and reporting only the units for the highest value procedure ensures that the anesthesia services are accurately and appropriately documented.Rate this question:
