Medicareâs Coding System for Medical Billing. APC stands for Medicareâs Ambulatory Payment Classification, the coding system that hospitals use to bill the federal government for services provide to Medicare and Medicaid patients. Every procedure or medication given to Medicare and Medicaid patients has its own unique code that must be submitted to Medicare by the hospital in order to receive reimbursement for services.
This difference between the automatic transmission and CVT is the number of gears. The automatic is limited to 4 to 9 gear ratios and there are definite or noticable changes between the gears and this is felt during driving. The CVT has what is termed an infinite number of ratios ranging from low to high and the transmission move through the gears steeplessly according to the driving situation.
CVT = continuously variable transmission. That's a transmission that doesn't have gears and instead uses pulleys to generate the gearing desired.By doing it this way, they can be continuously varied to generate more than just a few specific gear ratios. manual transmission has gear sets that have a fixed ratio for each set--hence the five speeds. One ratio (speed) per gear set. The CVT is automatic or can be operated in a simulated manual mode (if it is electronically controlled) while you must disengage a clutch to manually shift a manual transmission. Source(s):
