Answer to Question 1

False (Some physician's offices require the patient to file the claim to the secondary insurance.)

Answer to Question 2

A commissurotomy is the surgical division (cutting) of a ring or a band of tissue. Heart valves have a fibrous ring of tissue at the base of the valve called a commissure.
