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 colon extends from the cecum (where the small intestine meets the large intestine) to the anus (where waste exits the body), and comprises four main regions that are labeled in the image above: Ascending colon: The ascending colon is the first part of the large intestine. It begins just beyond the cecum (a pouch like structure at the end the ileumâthe part of the small intestine furthest from the stomach) on the bottom right side of the abdomen and ascends (goes upwards) to the area of the abdomen just below the diaphragm.
