What is the name for a stretch of non coding DNA that interrupts the coding sequence of a gene?
introns
What are genes a part of?
There are three main parts of a gene. First, the promoter includes when and where the gene should be transcribed. Then, the coding sequence contains the instructions for making a protein. Last, the terminator indicates that the coding sequence is over.
What is a unit of inheritance composed of a sequence of nucleotides of DNA?
It is known as a Gene. Along with its coding sequence it also possesses Start and Stop sequences.
What is non coding side of DNA for ATGC?
The non-coding side of DNA, also known as the non-coding strand or the template strand, serves as a blueprint for producing RNA molecules during the process of transcription. Unlike the coding strand, which has the same sequence as the RNA product, the non-coding strand has a complementary sequence to the RNA molecule, with the nucleotides A, T, G, and C pairing respectively with U, A, C, and G in RNA.
What is the purpose of the NCCI edits?
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services developed the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) as a proposal and effort to promote correct coding methodologies at a national level in the US and to control improper coding in Part B claims.
What is the importance of coding in sequence?
Coding sequence is used to build proteins from amino acids. Each amino acid has a specific 3-base sequence known as codons. Since proteins are very important in our lifes and many biochemical processes, the coding sequence is very important. A change in the coding sequence (mutation) may result in the wrong protein being produced. Some incurable human diseases are as a result of changes in coding sequence
What is the name for a stretch of non coding DNA that interrupts the coding sequence of a gene?
introns
What are the benefits of billing and coding?
Correct coding is essential for reimbursement
How many amino acids are there in the coding sequence for insulin?
20
What type of coding means that two or more codes are necessary to fully describe the patients condition?
"Multiple codes". However, sometimes a "combination code" can be used to describe more than one condition.
What is Correct Coding Initiative?
cci means national correct coding initiative produced by medicare that was developed to promote correct coding of healthcare services by providers and to prevent medicare payment for improperly coded services.
How does the DNA nucleotide sequence determine the amino acid sequence?
DNA sequence undergoes transcription, then translation process in order to determine and subsequently produce the amino acid sequence. The four bases specifically A,C,G, & T are the main coding sequence of a DNA. Because each coding sequence is unique, the resulting amino acid sequence is also unique as well.
What are genes a part of?
There are three main parts of a gene. First, the promoter includes when and where the gene should be transcribed. Then, the coding sequence contains the instructions for making a protein. Last, the terminator indicates that the coding sequence is over.
What is the correct coding of cardiology EM services based on?
The correct coding of cardiology E/M services is based on documentation of key components and contributing factors.
What is a unit of inheritance composed of a sequence of nucleotides of DNA?
It is known as a Gene. Along with its coding sequence it also possesses Start and Stop sequences.
What is non coding side of DNA for ATGC?

How does correct coding initiative relate to medical billing and coding?
NCCI: The National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) was implemented in 1996. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) developed the NCCI to promote national correct coding methodologies and to control improper coding leading to inappropriate payment. The purpose of the NCCI edits is to prevent improper payments when inappropriate code combinations or unlikely units of service are reported.
