Question

which of the following supports medical necessity?
code linkage with the diagnosis and procedure codes
providing patient education
posting the reimbursement received to the patient account
verifying patient eligibility with the third - party payer

Explanation:

Medical necessity is determined by showing a clear relationship between the patient's diagnosis (condition) and the procedures or services provided. Code linkage with diagnosis and procedure codes helps establish that the services are appropriate and required for treating the diagnosed condition. Patient education, posting reimbursement, and verifying eligibility are important administrative or patient - related tasks but do not directly support the concept of medical necessity.

Answer:

Code linkage with the diagnosis and procedure codes
