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.
Adenocarcinoma represents 25-40% of all small bowel neoplasms. However coloncarcinoma is 50 times more common. 50% of small bowel adenocarcinomas occur in the duodenum and most of these are found with endoscopy. The jejunum is the second most prevalent site.
