diagnosis might not meet medical necessity for the covered service?
A. GJ
B. GA
C. GB
D. GY - ANSWER-B. GA
An Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) is a waiver of liability. When a patient has been informed a service
that is otherwise covered by Medicare but might not be covered in a particular instance an ABN is signed
by the patient prior to receiving the service. To inform Medicare the ABN has been signed, append
, modifier GA. If an ABN is signed, the claim is the patient's responsibility if the claim is denied. This
modifier is listed in the HCPCS Level II codebook.

C. An ICD-10-CM code is still valid even if it has not been coded to the full number of characters required
for that code.
D. Signs and symptoms that are integral to the disease process should not be assigned as additional
codes, unless otherwise instructed. - ANSWER-D. Signs and symptoms that are integral to the disease
process should not be assigned as additional codes, unless otherwise instructed.
Multiple choice D is the correct answer, according to the ICD-10-CM Official Coding Guidelines, I.B.5.
indicates not to report signs and symptoms that are integral to a definitive diagnosis and are not
assigned unless otherwise instructed. When the same condition is diagnosed as acute and chronic and
there is a separate code for both, report both codes (I.B.8). Sequela (Late Effect) codes are the residual
effect (condition produced) after the acute phase of an illness or injury has terminated (I.B.10). An ICD-
10-CM code is not valid unless it is coded to the highest level of specificity. Do not rely solely on the ICD-
10-CM Alphabetic Index to Diseases and Injuries to select the correct code.
