Two
Condition

The correct answer is: Condition

The suffix '-asis' denotes a condition or state, particularly pertaining to a pathological or abnormal condition. In the medical billing and coding context, understanding suffixes like '-asis' helps to accurately describe diagnoses or medical conditions in patient records. For instance, it is used in terms like "homeostasis" or "cholelithiasis," where it indicates a specific condition involving balance or the presence of gallstones, respectively. Understanding these suffixes allows billers to identify the conditions for which procedures are being performed and ensures accurate coding and billing practices.
