joint numbering - lola


Posted: Jul 22, 2010

The right hand demonstrates MCP swelling with marked limitation of motion 2-5.

Is this correct or is it II-V?

I would use 2 through 5 - ddd

Here is the headache that we MQ employees endure. ASR seems to do whatever it wants and does NOT follow rul ...

When To Joint AHIMA And AAPC?

The exam itself costs 299 for members and 399 for nonmembers. For AAPC, their student membership costs 70 and does not seem to be tied to "approved schools." I'm just a low-paid MT and wondering if I should spring for thes ...
