What is Claims Adjudication? An insurance claim must meet all eligibility requirements before it can be paid. Insurance companies use claims adjudication to determine whether they will cover a procedure or if the policyholder must pay out of pocket.
The lining of the small intestine has tiny, finger-shaped tissues (villi). These raised tissues greatly increase the surface area of the intestine, which absorbs calories and nutrients from food. The small intestine consists of three parts. The first part, called the duodenum, connects to the stomach. The middle part is the jejunum. The third part, called the ileum, attaches to the colon.
The appendix - a narrow, finger-like pouch between 5cm and 10cm long - is attached to the beginning of the large intestine on the right side of the abdomen. But because of its length, the tip can lie in different positions, in the pelvis, in front of the bowel or, as Simon's was, behind the bowel.
