You have just helped me understand E/M coding!!!! I never could get it in school or at work. I am an outpatient ED coder and do not code E/M codes. In my facility, I code only diagnosis codes and procedure codes. But I feel much more confident in taking the new COC exam after watching your part I and II Leveling videos and I want to thank you!!!
Bless you for making this, I had other tools given to me in my classes for coding E/M and NOTHING made sense until you explained it so simply like this. Thank you
just started studying for the cpc and I am not joking when I say after all the classes I took for my RHIT, I could never make any kind of sense whatsoever of E/M until now. graduated, took the rhit, and never got it until I found CCO when going for my CPC. So thank you very very much.
OMG! This is awesome! I just graduated from a medical billing & coding degree program and I can honestly say that E/M was the hardest part to learn for my class! We struggled with it BAD! Colleges don't teach you how to prepare for the CPC exam, they focus more on the fundamentals of coding... so you really have to invest a little more in outside resources to help polish your skills in time to sit for the exam. Watching this, I can now say the light bulb has finally clicked on inside my head. I feel waaay more confident tackling E/M for my CPC exam this summer, thanks to this method. Thank you sooo much for sharing this!
i understood this in less than 10min. i wish i had found this before my final! TG i discovered it before my exam next week!!! xo thank you for this so much!
great video! thanks much! I learned my EM level today! I couldn't get it right with my teacher but now I know how to get them! thanks to Ms. Jandroep! God bless you!☺☺☺
I wish I found your video sooner!! I am scheduled to take my CPC exam in the next month and was seriously doubting my E/M skills. I'm not worried anymore! I'm going to ace that part! Thank you!
Wow! thank you so much for this video (and part 1). I've been reading my code book and trying to wrap my head around how to choose 3/3 and 2/3. The way you taught it is exactly how my brain works and I got it right away! I wish I could thumbs up this video 1000 times!
You are the Guru! I wish I had taken your course because I am using many of your videos and techniques! I take my exam in a few weeks, and when I pass I will definitely be getting further credentials with CCO! ;)
This is great, Laureen!! Now I would love to see this done with Hospital E&M coding. I recently started coding for a Hospital and the E&M for them is difficult for me! Looking at the notes, it's hard to tell what makes up the decision making for E&M coding.
Thank you soo much leveling is soo clear now. I shared this with my teacher n she used your method to teach the leveling. Especially the protocol for 3of3 and 2of 2. I was doing it all wrong I'm taking my second cpc aapc exam in two weeks n I feel ready now. I only failed before by a few points. Wish me luck😊
Thank you oh so much! I think I am going to purchase your on demand E/M webinar also. I am a CPC-A and am working on getting rid of that A. I am looking forward to what more you help me to understand better. I need more help with surgical procedures and will be looking for help with that. Thanks again!
Oh my goodness thank you so much for that great explanation. Now I understand how to code the E/M leves. I definitely didn't know how to do it at college with my professor and no one else until now that I saw this video. Thank you once again and I'm gonna go and rock the CCs exam soon!!
This has saved my sanity! Lost much sleep over this. Thank you! Up until now i had not figured this out though I read my CPT guidelines over and over. Why don't all courses explain it this simply? Go figure.
Do you have videos for specifically leveling history, medical decision making, etc.. In this video you said the specific “bean picking” of leveling those... haven’t a hard time finding any videos that do this!
Which would be the correct E/M code for an office visit by an established patient with these key components EEM? I chose 99213 but I am still in doubt as the levels were 334. Please advise. Thanks much for this valuable video
That's a good question. Because when you drop the lowest which is 3, the next lowest is still 3. Since it's written twice. So my guess is you picked the right one 99213, but I can't say for sure.
Not all providers note tell you about HEM. The main reason for the education is to HEM yourself from the documentation where provider do not specify HEM.
How does this work with initial and subsequent hospital care? When next too the bullet points it has detailed/comprehensive or straightforward/low complexity?
Thanks +Traci SuSong ! We do that in our MCP - Medical Coding Practicum course and record the support calls for that. There may be a few on our channel here if you search. Email our helpdesk and they can give you some links.
is this only applicable in office or Other outpatient services code range: 99201-99215 in terms of leveling??? or the Entire the E/M Sections code thanks.

Oh. My. Gosh. Who would have known how simple this is?! I have stressed so much over it and you have made it incredibly simple.
Bless you for making this, I had other tools given to me in my classes for coding E/M and NOTHING made sense until you explained it so simply like this. Thank you
In classes now you just cause the light 💡 to go bright!! This is helping early in my understanding.. Thank you so very much

These 2 videos made more sense and were far better taught than the entire chapter in the textbook. Thank you, thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words.
Agreed!!!!

Ms. Jandroep is the Coding Guru!! This has changed my life 😀
I have been watching a lot of your videos...where has this one been??? Can wait to try this technique on my next practice test

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful and good luck on the exam! We have a Proven Process for passing it at www.cco.us/cco-proven-process/
great video! thanks much! I learned my EM level today! I couldn't get it right with my teacher but now I know how to get them! thanks to Ms. Jandroep! God bless you!☺☺☺
You are by far one of the BEST coding instructors I have ever scene!! The way you explain this information is great!!!!
Ms Laureen, you are truly a genius, thank you!

Thank you so much. I've been struggling in my studies with E/M. After watching your videos, I can now code EM correctly.
+Sheri Underwood Glad it helped Sheri! Check out more goodies we have on our website. :)

Thank you so much. I got the understanding of leveling with this awesome and informative video
I can't believe it....I got it!!!! Wish I would have found this video earlier. Thank you so much.

laureen ..u are awesome...thank you...now i can code the most difficult ones easily....just keep on sharing your knowledge forever
+Aneesh Prasad Glad it helped you! Let us know what other topics you'd like us to go over.
Thank you so much! I was struggling with the leveling before your videos. Thank you for simplifying and explaining so well.
I get it. Thank you.i am stidying for my medical billing and coding certification
Studying!! your technique is like sunshine!! Thank you.
This has helped me so much. Thank you!

Thank you so much!
What a great video, where can I get this exercise sheet. It really helps.
www.cco.us/ceu-em-on-demand-classes-yt
Would love to see using medical records. Do you have those videos on audit records to ensure the correct e/m is selected
Thanks +Traci SuSong ! We do that in our MCP - Medical Coding Practicum course and record the support calls for that. There may be a few on our channel here if you search. Email our helpdesk and they can give you some links.
Cool, thanks. I will look through
Thank you!!!!! This is great!!!!!
is this only applicable in office or Other outpatient services code range: 99201-99215 in terms of leveling??? or the Entire the E/M Sections code thanks.
I do have one doubt.. Established patient.. Detailed hx, detailed exam, high mdm.. Which level..?
thank you this helped
where can i find the E/M on demand webinar that is talked about here....I don't see it on the codingcertification.org website. Thanks.
What do you do for a level such as 99218 that has straightforward and low MDM?
The closed captioning on this video does not match the video. Could you please update?
Where do I get another copy of the E/M leveling exercise sheet?
Thank YOU!!!!
Can plz teach Canada .Medical coding also....For us.
Where can we find the leveling tool?
Office established patient
EEH.. Which level.?
It’s starting to click😍
Where can I get this sheet from
Could you share the sheet
where can we obtain that worksheet
+Christina Harris The worksheet is included in our CEU class for EM - see our site (link in description) for details
You can't see the print guys to read this
Thank you so much!
