Nowyaknow!.."Off With Their Heads!" ~ Billable Medical Codes for Gov’t Executions ~ Celeste Solum

Video Transcript:

Hi, this is Celeste and this is the Celeste report and we are going to delve into the ICD codes and those are medical codes for reimbursement and you may or may not have seen this one pastor talking about the ICD codes in a very general sense and I thought that I best dig into them in a more detailed fashion. I think that's important to do and I'm going to spend a little bit of time talking about why this is important and then we'll just do a little short briefing on the back story. So believe it or not the ICD codes can be what is called a legal intervention and what is a legal intervention. It is a civil law procedure when someone is not part of a case and can join the to make sure that their interests get fairly represented. It is also something that they a legal form as we're going to find out of execution and so we've got the 2020 ICD 10 and external causes index and I am going to provide that link to you and one of the terms that they use is under B for beheading and specifically beheading by guillotine and this can either be by a homicide where one person chops off the head of another or as in the case of a legal execution which according to the 2020 ICD codes is a legal intervention. And so what is this it is billable and it is a code that can be used to indicate a diagnostic for reimbursement purposes. So when somebody uses this code they are getting paid for following through on the very act that they're talking about. It usually includes a short description and this the 2020 ICD codes became effective on October 1st of last year. There are also other type of things they're not all legal interventions. There are distinctions and one of those is operations of war, military operations and terrorism and those are Y-35 through Y-38. Now before we just dig in with both feet I think it's important for you to realize that there are many states in the United States that it is a legal intervention with that takes only two doctors in agreement to euthanize a person and typically it is euthanizing a person through a poison as substance. So that is the law of the land in many of our states and you should really check out to see if this type of agreement by just two doctors is in your state. So basically in 2013 started the great migration for these new diagnosis codes and they decided to list out various legal executions. That does a legal execution does not necessarily mean a humane execution so it will be billable and payable since 2013. So the executions can be performed at the hast of a judiciary, yes our corrupt judges or a ruling authority whether permanent or temporary and these can be asphyxiation by gas, beheading or decapitation by guillotine, capital punishment, electrocution, hanging, poisoning, shooting or other specified means. Now I think that it's important for you to realize I'm not going to go into all of the fine print of these if you want to look up key links I can let you you know get provide you those links so that you can do your own homework but military operations involving combat using blunt or piercing objects. And this is Y37.45. So basically they are saying that the military would get paid for let's say injecting you with a vaccine that can kill you. And then a lot of people were outraged at the killing of the African American but in Y37.46 did you know that military operations which also includes law enforcement involving intentional restriction of the air and airway is a reimbursable by our government so they can get paid for restricting your airway and and doing other things to your airway that caused death. So what are some other legal interventions that they can use these are executions and they are also executions called legal interventions by a baton a bayonet a blow blunt object a stave a bomb a conducted energy device a cutting or piercing instrument as in a vaccine dynamite electro shock taser explosives grenades mortars firearms machine guns pellet guns rubber bullets shotguns and a speck she gas speck sheation or poisoning tear gas man handling sharp objects again stabbing stave stun guns tear gas so the ICD is the 10th revision of the international statistical classification of diseases related to health problems which is in the acronym is ICD it is a medical classification list by your favorite international organization i'm saying that's sarcastically the world health organization it contains codes for diseases signs and symptoms abnormal findings complaints social circumstances external causes of injury or diseases and the work on the i cd 10 began in 1983 and was endorsed by the 43rd World Health Assembly in 1990 and it remains current until January 1st 2022 when it will be replaced by ICD 11 and we do not know what ICD 11 contains so the code allows for more than 14,000 different diagnoses and subdiagnoses and i guess that it has over 70,000 codes and it is also the ICD system is considered a living document so it changes and changes and changes the ICD 9 coding system originated in 17th century England and it was no one at the time as the London bills of mortality and was arranged into numerical codes and those were the codes of the most frequent causes of death in 1937 the statistical analysis of the causes of death was organized by the international list of causes of death over the years the World Health Organization used this list and more to assist in tracking mortality rates and international health trends so in 1977 the ICD system was expanded and prompted the national centers of health statistics to expand to include much more detailed clinical information so why did they change from ICD 9 to ICD 10 so there this was a question that many physicians, coders, and health care information specialists was on their mind so many people believe that the change would confuse people and make things worse and why fix it if it wasn't broken but what they didn't realize is that the system they considered the system broken and outdated and it needed repair in the humble opinion of the World Health Organization so that gives you a little bit about the ICD codes and that this is a re like guillotine and beheading as well as vaccination sticking you with a needle that can be considered a form of execution is a reimbursable procedure in the United States and really internationally so this is something that not only Americans should be concerned about but people all over the world so heads up people we've got some interesting times coming and we only have a year left of ICD 10 and who knows what's going to be an ICD 11. you
