This was yet another great video. Please don’t take this the wrong way, but it both helped and caused some major brain cramps. I just hope that I am correct in thinking that things will become a bit clearer once I’m actually coding every day. It’s a lot to take in all at once. 🤨🤯
Oh E&M makes just about everyone squirrely! You really pick it up when you start diving in and piecing it together and referencing back to the guidelines.
Most just teach whatever is standard for their region but don't think about how some coders work remote and may be coding based on guidance in other regions!
Very neat! What would be the standard guidelines used for the AAPC exam ? E/M is my last section to tackle before I sit for my test . Nervous yet excited!
Thank you for these videos, they're so so helpful! Sorry if I missed it but where can I find those auditing forms? I'm working through Practicode right now and those would be so helpful to check off the boxes as I'm going along
do you have a link for your cards? I am still in school and these would be super helpful.... I am a bit lost when it comes to E/M in general so your videos have been so very helpful!!!
Love your videos, they're very helpful. I will be taking my CPC exam in Sept 2022, I have bad test aniexty any recommdation for me. Oh yea! Can you give any suggest to what office to work in, like an inpatient or outpatient office until i get more familiar with coding?
I would like to laminate the score cards like you have. I have the sheet for the 1995 guidelines, however I am having trouble finding the 1997 guidelines. I looked in all of the links you posted in your answers to the other girls. Can you help me locate it?
They are all at this link. If you see the table there, the ones that have (1997) on them are the 1997 scoresheets, you can download them as a pdf, print them, and laminate them. www.novitas-solutions.com/webcenter/portal/MedicareJL/pagebyid?contentId=00004968
So just for clarification purposes.....Is it ok for me to make notes in my book. I made notes in the notes section of my CPT book. Will I still be able to use it in the test?
Per the AAPC Exam FAQs under "What is allowed in our books": www.aapc.com/certification/faq.aspx " Handwritten notes are acceptable in the coding books only if they pertain to daily coding activities. Questions from the Study Guides, Practice Exams or the Exam itself are prohibited. Tabs may be inserted, taped, pasted, glued, or stapled in the manuals so long as the obvious intent of the tab is to earmark a page with words or numbers, not supplement information in the book. Altering, whiting out, painting, or printing over any pages within the code books (e.g., marketing pages, table of contents, reference pages, etc.) to supplement information is prohibited. No materials (other than tab dividers) may be inserted, taped, pasted, glued, or stapled in the manuals."
Where are these interactive scorecards online that you speak of? I’m certified, looking for a job, but doing Practicode though AAPC, and totally bombing in the E/M sections 😭. I even called them to ask for more guidance, and they only pointed me to another educational area, where I’d have to spend more money learning. I just want straightforward answers. Scorecards would help me tremendously. Thanks!

I didn't realize there were those regional differences; surprised it hasn't been covered and I'm in my last semester of school!

"A detailed exam requires more... detail?"
I think I understand why E/M is the bane of everyone's existence 😅
I live in Seattle, where I was born and grew up.
Where can I download these score cards?
Is there a way for me to find the score cards for Florida?
I barely passed my CPC course because of E/M codes, but i did it lol

These score cards are bomb!💣 I’m so glad I found your channel. Your explanations are very easy to follow and I’m enjoying your videos. Thank you.

Do we need audit sheets for CPC exam?
No, not for CPC.
I watched all the part of e&m and I'm more confused then ever
I try to buy the laminate version but don't find
You print them and laminate them on your own.
