1. While gathering information, Lewis and Tania developed a list of pros and cons for converting to electronic health records. What might have been included on their list?
2. The office has decided to make the conversion to EHRs. Once all records have been converted, what should be done with the original paper charts?

PCMA Chapter 15-"Sophia DiStefano, a 5-year-old female, is seen by Dr. Salpega. He diagnoses Sophia with bilateral chronic serous otitis media because this visit is the third bout of otitis media she has had within the past seven months. Dr. Salpega asks that David Dolan, a Registered Medical Assistant, conduct an audiometry screening on Sophia. He also suggests that Edvige, Sophia's mother, consider having Sophia undergo a bilateral tympanostomy and tube placement for a more permanent treatment of the chronic otitis media."

1. Why is it necessary for David to code for the specific condition chronic serous otitis media rather than a nonspecific condition such as otitis media?
2. Why must David be sure to code for the bilateral nature of the condition?
3. What are the benefits of having over 70,000 diagnosis codes?

PCMA Chapter (On the Job) 16-"Sophia DiStefano, a five-year-old female, experienced three bouts of otitis media within the past seven months and was diagnosed with chronic otitis media.

Today, Dr. Salpega performs a bilateral tympanostomy (tube placement) for a more permanent treatment of the condition. David Dolan, a Registered Medical Assistant, needs to code for the procedure."

1. Should David code and bill for the audiometry screening? Why or why not?
2. What is the diagnosis related to Sophia's procedure? How can David ensure that the diagnosis is correct?
