Subject: Modifier -22 is used in conjunction with a surgery code, that explains that it was complex or more difficult.
I am a MT and a medical biller. Say for instance we use a regular surgery code 29880 (arthroscopy of the knee) and we might add a -22 if this procedure was more difficult than usual. We increase our fees for the surgery due to the difficulty, thus the -22 indicates why we upped our fees. Hope this helps and was not too confusing.

Subject: I learned 27 years ago to use q.4h. (no spaces), past few years q.4 h. (see msg)
Now some are saying it's q. 4h.?? UGH, YUCK!! I have also worked on accounts where it had to be "every 4 hours," and we had to spell out p.r.n. (as needed for). At least we got more characters.
First rule: It is all what the "client/account" wants, not always what the BOS says it is. I realize that language and its usage is constantly changing, but I've seen so many BOS and client flip-flops on so many other things in nearly 3 decades that it's laughable. What isn't laughable is when we get penalized for not knowing what they want, even when they, themselves, don't know or are wrong.
Oh, and I still prefer the old no spaces: q.4h., q.4-6h., q.12h., and so on.....

and a constant thirst for learning something new everyday. As we all know this can get to be somewhat boring, but learning from what I transcribe as well as from other transcriptionists keeps me going (money is not bad either). It becomes a challenge. But I can't thank you enough for the kind words.

experience. I've asked questions before also but when I do, I will state the references that failed my efforts. Everyone needs help now and again, but when someone leans too often on the power of the knowledge of others, it becomes a problem. Will they remember what someone else _told_ them the next time that term/phrase comes up again? Statistics have proven that 98% of what we retain is by learned by doing it first hand. That means 98% of the people will not retain what they are told. I like the quote "knowledge knows when to speak and wisdom knows when to listen." I'm afraid we are somewhat short on wisdom on this board.

Typing in all caps is the equivalent of shouting. It will make people not want to listen or read or help. Just trying to give you a heads up.

but you never know until you ask.
Orthopedic surgeon is doing I&D and wound exploration on a patient with a comminuted tibial fracture and his leg is all messed up. So, the doc says "Tom, Dick, and Harry are all intact." I figure he said this because he was too lazy to list off the various structures he was encountering but maybe he was referring to some specific anatomy?
