CMS has identified a set of anatomical modifiers to facilitate correct coding for claims processing. Beginning July 28, 2015, Arbor Health Plan will begin utilizing coding policies to support the use of anatomical modifiers. arbor health plan, anatomical modifiers, coding, claims. Created Date.
(Click on bullets above to step through the decades.) According to an ongoing temperature analysis conducted by scientists at NASAâs Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), the average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8Â° Celsius (1.4Â° Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20Â°C per decade.
But the [climate] models are getting a lot stronger, said Jay Gulledge, a senior research at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change in Arlington, Virginia. Gulledge says some current projections point to a rise in average global temperature of 0.5Â°C (slightly less than 1Â°F) by the year 2030. The estimates are based on greenhouse gasses already in the atmosphere. While the temperature increase is small, it would be significant. Over the past century Earth has warmed about 1Â°F (0.6Â°C). (See our fast facts on global warming.) Gulledge cautions, however, that warming rates depend on many factors, some of which have yet to be discovered.
