Emergency department visit for cardiovascular disease as a surgical APC? Sounds like someone's trying to perform open-heart surgery in the waiting room!

Hmm, I'm gonna go with A) An ancillary APC is a biopsy. Biopsies are pretty common ancillary procedures, right?

I think I'll go with C) A significant procedure APC is a computerized tomography (CT) scan. It seems like a significant procedure.

D) A surgical APC is an emergency department visit for cardiovascular disease? That can't be right, an emergency department visit doesn't sound like a surgical procedure.

I'm not too sure about this one, but I'd guess that B) A medical APC is radiation therapy. Radiation therapy seems like a pretty significant medical procedure to me.

I agree with Loreen, because a CT scan is a significant procedure that would fall under that category.
