Appendix IV FORMS SECTION DRG WEIGHTS AND RATES PART II HOSPITAL PROVIDER MANUAL This is the provider specific section of the manual. This section (Part II) was designed to provide information and instructions specific to hospital providers. It is divided into three subsections: Billing Instructions, Benefits and Limitations, and Appendices. The Billing Instructions subsection gives examples of the billing forms applicable to hospital services. The forms are followed by directions for completing and submitting them. The Benefits and Limitations subsection defines specific aspects of the scope of hospital services allowed within the Kansas Medical Assistance Program (KMAP). The Appendix subsection contains information concerning procedure codes, emergency diagnosis codes and swing bed nursing facility supplies. The appendices were developed to make finding and using codes easier for the biller. HIPAA Compliance As a KMAP participant, providers are required to comply with compliance reviews and complaint investigations conducted by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in accordance with section 45 of the code of regulations parts 160 and 164. Providers are required to furnish the Department of Health and Human Services all information required by the Department during its review and investigation. The provider is required to provide the same forms of access to records to the Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Division of the Kansas Attorney General's Office upon request from such office as required by K.S.A. 21-3853 and amendments thereto. A provider who receives such a request for access to or inspection of documents and records must promptly and reasonably comply with access to the records and facility at reasonable times and places. A provider must not obstruct any audit, review or investigation, including the relevant questioning of employees of the provider. The provider shall not charge a fee for retrieving and copying documents and records related to compliance reviews and complaint investigations. 7000.

  • VITAMIN K SUBSTANCES 1. Exposure Data
    VITAMIN K SUBSTANCES Vitamin K comprises a group of substances, which are widespread in nature and are an essential co-factor in humans in the synthesis of several proteins that play a role in haemostasis and others that may be important in calcium homeostasis. The K vitamins all contain the 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione) moiety, and the various naturally occurring forms differ in the alkyl substituent at the 3-position. Phylloquinone (vitamin K1) is 2-methyl-3-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinone and is widely found in higher plants, including green leafy vegetables, and in green and blue algae. The menaquinones (formerly vitamin K2) have polyisoprenyl substituents at the 3-position and are produced by bacteria. The compound menadione (formerly vitamin K3) lacks an alkyl group at the 3-position but can be alkylated in vivo in some species. Several synthetic water-soluble derivatives, such as the sodium diphosphate ester of menadiol and the addition product of menadione with sodium bisulfite, also have commercial applications (National Research Council, 1989; Gennaro, 1995; Weber & Rüttimann, 1996). 1.

  • C. VA Drug Classification System
    Appendix C C. VA Drug Classification System Introduction The Department of Veterans Affairs Drug Classification system was developed to provide a systematic management approach to the classification of medications, including investigational and over-the-counter drugs, prosthetic items, and expendable supplies. The system is designed to • support inpatient and outpatient pharmacy activities; • facilitate identification of drug-drug, drug-allergy, drug-lab, and drug-food interactions; • uphold requirements for inventory accountability; • substantiate and improve all patient medication-related activity; • provide an improved database to assist the health care provider; • provide a coordinated method of database communication for VA management; • facilitate monitoring of investigational drugs; and • facilitate control of prosthetic and supply items. Each five-character alpha-numeric code specifies a broad classification and a specific type of product. The first two characters are letters and form the mnemonic for the major classification (e.g., AM for antimicrobials). Characters 3 through 5 are numbers and form the basis for subclassification. For example, the classification system for the penicillins is as follows. AM000 ANTIMICROBIALS AM050 Penicillins AM051 Penicillin-G Related Penicillins AM052 Penicillins, Amino Derivatives AM053 Penicillinase-Resistant Penicillins AM054 Extended Spectrum Penicillins Descriptive comments are included only when the classification system itself is not self- explanatory.

Hence, its dietary requirement is usually very small especially in the Indian context. VITAMIN D is widespread in nature and photosynthesized in most plants and animals exposed to sunlight Its major role in vertebrate animals and humans is to increase the absorption of calcium and phosphate for the mineralization of the skeleton. In the case of vitamin D deficiency in children, the cartilage is not calcified, causing rickets. In adults, the newly formed bone matrix (the osteoid) is not mineralized, causing osteomalacia. Vitamin D exists in 2 forms: Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) of animal origin Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) of plant origin The precursors of vitamin D are: 7-dehydro-cholesterol in animals Ergosterol in plants Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is synthesized in the skin. Its precursor, 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3), is converted by the UV light of the sun (UVB 290–315 nm) into previtamin D3, which is slowly isomerized to vitamin D3.

This is why they Macronutrients Micronutrients are known as micronutrients. Vitamins are vital for life, aiding normal growth and healthy bodily functions such as cardiovascular, cognitive and eye health. They are needed for processes that create or use energy, such as the metabolism of proteins and fats, the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients, growth and development, physical performance, and regulation of cell function, with each vitamin having important and specific functions within the body. Aside from vitamin D3, vitamins are not produced by the human body and must therefore be obtained via the diet. Carbohydrates Fats Proteins Vitamins Minerals Where do vitamins fit into our diets?

Bard*,† Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78312, and Laboratoire Environnement et Chimie Analytique, ESPCI, 10 rue Vauquelin, 75231 Paris Cedex 05, France Received May 1, 2002. In Final Form: May 8, 2002 Menadione (2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone) reduction and menadiol oxidation at octadecanethiol (C18SH) monolayer modified gold electrodes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). The modified electrode acts as a better barrier toward the ferrocyanide transport than toward the menadione species. This difference is attributed to permeation of the organic substrates into the hydrophobic monolayer. A simple model is proposed and applied to extract the rate constant of the kinetically limiting permeation step from the cyclic voltammograms. However, a better estimate of the transport properties is obtained by SECM. The same trends are observed with CV and SECM, and a similar pH dependence shows the loss of an intermediate formed during menadione reduction from the monolayer with increasing pH. This loss can probably be assigned to the rapid expulsion of the more hydrophilic reduced species from the monolayer.

  • Nutritional Biochemistry of the Vitamins
    This page intentionally left blank Nutritional Biochemistry of the Vitamins SECOND EDITION The vitamins are a chemically disparate group of compounds whose only common feature is that they are dietary essentials that are required in small amounts for the normal functioning of the body and maintenance of metabolic integrity. Metabol- ically, they have diverse functions, such as coenzymes, hormones, antioxidants, mediators of cell signaling, and regulators of cell and tissue growth and differen- tiation. This book explores the known biochemical functions of the vitamins, the extent to which we can explain the effects of deficiency or excess, and the sci- entific basis for reference intakes for the prevention of deficiency and promotion of optimum health and well-being. It also highlights areas in which our knowledge is lacking and further research is required. This book provides a compact and au- thoritative reference volume of value to students and specialists alike in the field of nutritional biochemistry, and indeed all who are concerned with vitamin nutrition, deficiency, and metabolism. David Bender is a Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at University College London. He has written seventeen books, as well as numerous chapters and reviews, on various aspects of nutrition and nutritional biochemistry. His research has focused on the interactions between vitamin B6 and estrogens, which has led to the elucidation of the role of vitamin B6 in terminating the actions of steroid hormones. He is currently the Editor-in-Chief of Nutrition Research Reviews. Nutritional Biochemistry of the Vitamins SECOND EDITION DAVID A.
