Este documento discute la interculturalidad y la plurinacionalidad como elementos importantes para el debate constituyente en Ecuador. Examina cómo el Estado ecuatoriano sigue siendo monocultural a pesar de algunas reformas recientes, y cómo los gobiernos han incorporado a los indígenas y afroecuatorianos para dividirlos y asegurar la implementación de políticas neoliberales. También analiza conceptos como el pluralismo jurídico y la educación intercultural, y cómo estos pueden aplicarse para construir una sociedad más inclusiva donde se recon

Biotechnology is the use of living organisms to develop products and processes. It includes applications in agriculture, food science, and medicine. Biotechnology creates biodegradable plastics from plant polymers as an alternative to traditional plastics from non-renewable resources that do not break down easily. It also develops green walls and uses enzymes in detergents, bioethanol production, textile preparation, and consistent food and beverage production.

Apollo was one of the most important Olympian gods in Greek mythology. As the god of light, truth, prophecy, medicine, music, poetry and arts, he possessed many attributes including a bow and arrows, a lyre, and a plectrum. One myth tells of how Apollo pursued the nymph Daphne, who did not love him in return, until she was transformed into a laurel tree by her father, the river god Peneus, to escape Apollo's advances.

Protecting and Maximizing Your Orthopedic Revenue Cycle in 2014ReimbursementMD
This document discusses protecting and maximizing a medical practice's revenue cycle in 2014. It covers 2014 coding and fee schedule updates, revenue cycle management strategies, and preparing for ICD-10. Key points include changes to shoulder, elbow and tumor codes; additions of new Category III codes; revisions to CMS payment rates for joint replacements; and the importance of staying compliant with coding rules to avoid audits.
This document provides information about coding tips for orthopaedic offices. It discusses reimbursement statistics for different orthopaedic procedures, insurance issues to consider, guidelines for evaluation and management visits and other orthopaedic procedures. It also reviews modifiers like 24, 25, and 57 which are important for orthopaedic coding. The presenter has many years of experience in orthopaedic coding and compliance.
The document discusses additional 2012 CPT coding changes related to radiology. Specifically:
1) The requirements to assign code 72114 for a complete L-S spine x-ray have changed to require a minimum of 6 views. Code 72120 for L-S spine bending views only now requires 2-3 views rather than 4 views.
2) Vertebroplasty procedures can no longer be billed separately from bone biopsies at the same level. Bone biopsies at different levels may still be billed separately with a modifier.
3) Conscious sedation is now included in codes for liver and lung biopsies as well as catheter placements in certain arteries, so codes for
The document provides information on changes to CPT codes for 2012, including:
1) Combining spine, injection, and knee/shoulder arthroscopy codes that are reported together 75% of the time.
2) Re-assessing RVU values for codes that no longer require inpatient stays.
3) Adding new skin graft and spine fusion codes, and revising hemilaminectomy and injection guidance codes.
4) Combining meniscectomy codes with debridement codes and making shoulder arthroscopy codes add-on codes.
The 2012 CPT code changes bundle several procedures into combination codes, including CT angiography of the abdomen and pelvis, hepatobiliary imaging, pulmonary imaging codes, and various interventional radiology codes. New codes have been introduced for abdominal paracentesis, peritoneal lavage, placement and removal of vena cava filters, and renal angiography that now include all catheter placement and imaging guidance. Approximately 15-20 current CPT codes also have text or description revisions to improve clarity.
MRCP is an MRI exam of the biliary system and pancreas that is typically performed without contrast. It includes 3D cholangiographic post processing techniques like MIPs. Proper documentation of the 3D imaging is required to bill additional codes for those images separately from the abdominal MRI code. Specifically, noting that 3D images were obtained on a separate workstation or during the exam supports billing an additional 3D rendering code. Without documentation of the 3D techniques used, only the abdominal MRI code can be billed.

Even though coding guidelines stipulate that ALL diagnostic ultrasound examinations require permanently recorded images with measurements, (when such measurements are clinically indicated), ultrasound guidance for vascular access has additional requirements.

Physicians have long been used
to working within the framework
of the Stark Law. This 1989
legislation placed restrictions
on the ability of doctors for
self referrals, for Medicare and
Medicaid patients, and to refer
for advanced diagnostic imagery
to institutions in which the
physician had a vested financial
interest. In response to criticism of
the legislation, several exceptions
were introduced to include, among other things, in-office ancillary services.

Using Business Intelligence and
Analytics for Radiology Billing
It seems like data is everywhere you
look. Businesses rely on marketing data,
customer demographics, accounting
numbers, and in-depth analytics to
make daily decisions. Experts espouse
the use of business intelligence in
manufacturing, health care, financial
management, and other niches.
What does this new reliance on data have to do with radiology billing?
If you want to develop a profitable claims process, it turns out data
plays a huge role.

Why Ignoring ICD-10 Won’t Make it Go Away
The US Dept. of Health and Human Services has
directed the supplanting of the ICD-9-CM code
sets, those currently utilized by physicians, medical
billers and coders to report healthcare procedures
and diagnoses, with ICD-10 codes.
Implementation is to be effected on October
1, 2014. Its implementation will impact and
completely change the current coding system.
It will necessitate a huge amount of effort
to implement, and it isn’t going to go away.
Individual and organizational health providers
need to get on board with training if they expect
to get paid for their services after October 1, 2014.
