Examples

“Both CRT-Ds and ICDs are implanted under the skin, in the patient’s upper chest area. The devices have⟳ wires called leads that attach to the heart and regulate the rhythm of the muscle. Defibrillators help⟳ patients with bradycardia – a slow heartbeat – by pacing the heartbeat and those with tachycardia – a fast heartbeat – by delivering shocks that reset heartbeats to normal.”

“Serie A club Inter Milan – whom Eriksen had been contracted to at the time of the incident – let⟳ the midfielder move⟳ abroad as he was unable to play⟳ in Italy unless the ICD device was removed.”

“ICD-10, ICD-11”

“Because there is no HIPAA requirement that insurance companies also accept⟳ DSM-IV-TR codes, insurance companies are likely to only accept⟳ electronic claims that use⟳ ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes, and which will require⟳ psychologists who are only familiar with DSM-IV-TR to convert their DSM-IVTR diagnosis codes into ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes.”
