Hi Anjana. Congratulations on passing the CPC exam and thank you kindly fr sharing this good news with me. Very well done. Wishing you all the best for your future career.
Mr. Nguyen. Thank you for the video. In the homework at the beginning, shouldn't Lumber Spinal Stenosis have 6 characters? I chose M48.061, because the ICD-10 book showed that it is supposed to have a sixth character. Is this correct? Also, explaining the path to the right answer REALLY HELPS! Thank you so much for that.
Hi Barry. You are correct! I missed the last digit so M48.061 is the correct code. Thank you for pointing it out.
@@codingwithhoang - Okay, thanks. Just making sure.
I'm so happy I found you 😘 you make my day. Now I understand 🤣 more practice.
You got this Maria. Practice makes perfect. Happy Learning!
We appreciate you! Thank you for taking the time to make your videos.
Helpful Mr. Nguyen thank you!
Thanks for your given useful video Mr Nguyen ,now I am preparing CPC exam
I wish you the best of luck for your exam. You can do it. Good luck with your study and thank you for your support.
@@codingwithhoang thanks Nguyen once I will be passing exam and confirm inform with you 👍👍
Thanks for sharing this interesting video 😊😊😊😊
My pleasure. Thank you so much for your support.
These videos and the tips for passing the CPC certification exam are excellent! My only issue is that I can't understand everything you say due to your accent and I wish I did, because every bit of information you provide is strategic. Thank for your channel -- it is helping me tremendously as I get ready to take my exam soon.
Hi Elena. As long as you understand my tips and strategies, you can do it. I am sorry that I could help in terms of my accent. Thank you for your support.
@@codingwithhoang Hi Hoang, I can understand about 90% of it so it's all good! Your videos are EXCELLENT. Thank you for helping so many of us with your channel! 👌☑️💯
Thankyou sir... You are my guru.🙏 Namasthe
Thank you so much for your support. Happy Learning!
I am really enjoying all of your videos while prepping for my exam!
That's awesome! Thank you for your support Stacy.
hi mr. nguyen just want to sayyyy Thank you thank you thank you for all your time and teaching that you share!!!!
I appreciate that! Thanks so much for your support.
Really commendable work sir. Thank you so much
Hi Hoang, Thank you for you giving back by helping students pass their CPC, COC, or CCS-P exam. I was a little confused about question 3 the selected answer was a instead of b on minute 14:14. I see where it talks about the excision but after, the question stated the name of the procedure was a biopsy mass of the left breast. Please advise. Thank you kindly.
The physician uses the term lump/mass biopsy and excision interchangeably and that's why you need to read the details of the operative report to find out which code is the right code to use. If you listen carefully to what I explained in the video, 19101 is for biopsy which means that they only remove a piece of tissue not entire lesion. On the other hand, 19120 is for mass excision which means that the entire lesion or mass is removed as it is clearly described in the op-report " the surgeon dissects down to the mass and removes it entirely" I hope it helps.
Very helpful. Thanks
@@codingwithhoang That was very helpful and the same question I had. That is a key piece of information that the surgeons use the term interchangeably. Thank you again!
You are awesome the best video ever, you are a very, very great Professor I will highly recommend you to everyone. I wrote my exam a couple times and fail, looking at your videos is really helpful to me I appreciate your time. Thank you so very much, will like to know if you give classes? Hazelann
Hi Hazel. I know how you feel when you have an "aha moment" As long as you understand my strategies and use it then you should be fine next time. I wish you the best of luck on your next attempt.
Your videos are very helpful. Thank you
Thanks Dr. Hoang as always you provided good tips on your in videos especially on guidelines.
Hi Editha. Thank you so much for your comment and support. Happy Learning.
Wow great lessons here! Thanks for helping me Hoang!!
You are very welcome Shannon. Thank you for your support.
Mr. Nguyen. thank you for all of your videos on the CPC exam. I started watching you after I failed my first attempt. You were recommended so I gave it a shot. I sat for my 2nd exam 13 days after I failed, and I'm happy to say I passed thanks to you. I am now studying for my CCS exam and I noticed that this video has CCS-P. Will these videos still help with just the CCS exam or will you have exam prep videos for that one as well? Thanks again.
Hi Lamontica. Congratulations on passing the CPC exam and sharing this good news with me. You've proved that dedication and learning end at resulting excellent outcome. The CCS exam also includes CPT coding portion so all my videos will also help you with the CCS exam as well. The only portion that I don't cover is inpatient case study which is more complex and that is why I haven't covered it yet . You should watch those videos that I made 8 years ago about "ROOT OPERATION" and those are for CCS exam prep. I hope you'll keep up the good work in the future. All the best!
@@codingwithhoang thank you. I will definitely watch them.
Hello Mr. Nguyen, thank you for providing these very comprehensive videos. I just noticed a typo for Question 2 in the Take Notes box below, shouldn’t the “NOT SEPARATELY REPORTABLE” codes be 14000-14302 instead of 11400-11302?
Hoping you have a series of RHIT exams.
Thank you dear sir.
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos as always. I really appreciate of how you showed us the index terms and applicable guidelines. For those key terms to use in each case to look up the index and find out CPT code, should we learn by heart or we can become more familiar to identify the key terms over time ?
Hi Phung. Let's say the code is your destination and finding the code is the route guiding you to your destination. There could be more than one route (main term) to guide you there (freeway or local road) and your objective is to find the short cut either tab your book or find the best main term that you can take you there fastest and avoid getting lost along the way. That said, you can learn either way, if you don't code everyday, then learn by heart so that next time when you need to look up code for a particular procedure, you know where to find it fast and that's all that matters. I hope it helps. Have a good day!
@@codingwithhoang thank you so much for your clarification 😇
Thank you ❤️ for sharing your knowledge to us new coder to be.
It's my pleasure Maria and thank you so much for your support.
Your videos are very much useful sir tq for ur support
You're most welcome and thank you for your comment and support.
Thank you sir. Amazingly helpful videos. 🤗👍🤗
Most welcome Kay. Thank you for your comment and support.
Hi Mr. Nguyen. I don't understand why the answer to question #7 is not just M43.02 instead of M47.812. Thank you. It is a great video, as always!!
You are a great teacher thank you!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much for your comment and support.
As usual Mr. Hoang. You are an awesome teacher.
Thanks Leslyn! 😃
I just came across your video and subscribed today. Thank you for the helpful information. I am about to start studying for my CCS and I am going to use these videos as study guide. Do you do Zoom tutor, Mr. Nguyen?
Hi Laura. If you are studying for the CCS, beside watching these videos for the CPT procedure code preparation, please make sure that you also watch those videos that I posted 8 years ago about "ROOT OPERATION" for PCS procedure codes. You need to know this in order to code inpatient cases. I will be thinking about Zoom tutor but I don't know how much they charge for tutoring out there because in order to do that I need to cut back on my work hours(60 hours/week for two hospitals) and I have to know if it's worth it. Good luck with your study. All the best.
@@codingwithhoang thanks!
@@codingwithhoang Hello ! I was going to ask the same question as Mrs.Laura there ! If you ever start offering zoom classes please announce it because I would love to attend!
Hi! Mr. Hoang, First and foremost thank you so much for posting these videos, they are of great help. Really Appreciate all your efforts. I gave my 1st attempt CPC exam a month ago but unfortunately, I missed the passing score just by a couple of points, that is when I started searching for videos online for guidance and testing. I listen to multiple video's but your's is the best! I want to know if you would recommend a CPC exam practice test book that I should buy online? Thanking you in advance!
Hi Shabana. I would go with whatever coding materials that you currently have to prepare for this exam and all you need to do now is to focus the strategies that I use then you would pass the exam. Make sure you watch all of my videos and take note then you should be fine. With my backwards approach you can tackle any questions or case studies as long as they are multiple choice question. You can do it. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for all you do!
thanks for all your effort sir, may God uphold you, sir, I have TWO questions that I want to ask, how to report Excision of ( 2cm by 2cm malignant lesson of scalp)? I think we suppose to sum the 2+2 together to get 4cm in total. or is it only 2cm we will work on? second question, can modifiers be added to ADD ON CODES?
Hi Rasheed. 2cm x 2cm means that the lesion is measured 2cm in width and 2cm in length. If you add 2+2 = 4cm, you will make the lesion bigger than itself. Just follow the coding guideline, lets say you have a lesion measured 5cm Width x 6cm Length x 0.5cm Depth), you pick the largest number which is 6cm and that is the longest incision that you use for CPT. On the modifier question, technically, the add codes already indicate they are additional size, hours or something so there is no need to add mod.59 unless in some cases, you have to use the add on code twice then I will use mod59 just to let know that they are not duplicated codes. I hope it helps.
Thank you Mr. Hoang. I missed 3 of the question. I missed number 2, 7 and 9.
Hi Bergina. I guarantee you will not make the same mistake if you come across similar cases so Happy Learning!
Thanks so much for all your time!
You are so welcome Dina.
Mr. Nguyen, Is there a typo in question 2 "with code 11400- 11302"? I see that "with code 14000- 14302" on page 94 of the CPT manual. Thank you
Thank you for you hard work!
Great information. Thanks
Thank you Gail for your comment. Have a good day!
Thanku soo much sir you are doing good job
Very useful 🙂👍
hi sir where i can find the part 1 of this video ? what is the title thank you
One more small question, please. In #9 the indication notes that there is a 6th character. Wouldn't it need to be M48.061 (without neurogenic claudication)
Thank you for all your help! Little confused, In the HW, No.7 why do we choose M47.812 and not M47.892?
Thank you!
You're welcome! Thank you.
I didn't understand what you told at last for needle placement sir.can you clarify ?
Dr Huang. For question 2 which of your videos are you referring to. BC I saw only 1 integumentary video. Pls if anyone in chat knows kindly assist me
I am a bit confused by Question 3. How is 19301 not a good answer? A lump was removed.
A mastectomy is surgery to remove the whole breast and not just a palpable lump. I hope it helps.
question 6- why did you take intermediate repair just layer closure is mentioned.so simple repair would go.
You must follow the coding guidelines: intermediate repairs were defined as either layered closure or single layer closure of heavily contaminated wound. If need to watch my video titled "how to code wound repair" and take note:
ua-cam.com/video/-z68Zr33KOA/v-deo.html
I didn’t know where to start to get the codes how would I know where to start
Hi Cindy, you need to watch my videos title " Introduction to CPT coding" and "Introduction to ICD-10-CM" and below are the links:
ua-cam.com/video/2EbuKKIoRPc/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/WnVRJ3BF0zE/v-deo.html
Sir i think typo error in codes referred for tissue transfer in NOTES section please review
Sir pls mail me cpt chapter wise guide lines ur icd gudie lines were very good
q no : 6 with layer closure is there so it come simple know can please tell me that doute
Thank you
Si help me to solve integumetry
🤩
Please help med. I am confused on COC and CPC. Are they all not Outpatient coding?
Answer is b
how is question 3 not B?
The difference between lesion excision vs biopsy is that in EXCISION, the entire lesion will be removed by using scalpels whereas in BIOPSY, only a piece of tissue is removed, usually done by using needles. That is why B 19101 (biopsy of breast) is not the correct code to use in this case. I hope it helps.
For Question 3 - I thought it was 19101 because the procedure is described as "biopsy". In this case, how do we determine if it is biopsy or excision? Or do we assume that if the mass was excised, it is automatically an excision?
Hi Sharon. The difference between biopsy and excision is that biopsy is a removal of a piece of tissue versus excision is a removal of an entire mass. For example, they do a needle biopsy to assess a breast mass or lump so only a small tissue sample will be taken and if the pathology confirms it is a malignant cancer then they will do an EXCISON to remove an entire mass. I hope it helps.
Very well explained Mr Hoang thanks a lot for making valuable videos.
For question #3 of the homework why would we not code E11.69 as well? And the sequencing for that would be determined by what was treated, correct?
You should not report E11.618 which specially states that it is a type 2 diabetes with other diabetic arthropathy in addition to E11.69 for type 2 diabetes with other specified complication.
As per notes answer is a
In the homework assignment, question 9, in the 2021 ICD-10-CM manual the code M48.06 has a red Stop sign in front of it, so I added an additional character which made my answer M48.061. Is that incorrect?
M48.06 is not a complete code in ICD-10-CM and that is why you see a red stop sign in front of it. It needs a sixth character so you have to look down and see there are two codes : M48.061 and M48.62 for you to choose. Similar, when you look up code for fracture, you will see the code(s) need a seven character for either initial or subsequent treatment. I hope it helps.
I have cpc exam in march 27 plz help me some confused in digestive system and cardiovascular system....
I did cover the digestive & cardiovascular systems in my videos. Good luck with your study.
Thank you
