AMCI ICD-10-CM Coding for Beginners- Part 2

[@AquaFuzion]

For anyone coming across this channel in 2024, the information and teaching techniques are still relevant. I had actually skipped over these videos earlier in the year when I started my courses, but now they're done and I'm lost, I've been digging into anything I can find. Thank you so much for these videos!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

I'm glad these are helpful for you, and thank you for validating these lectures. We will be putting out a new series in 2025, but not too many changes in the general guidelines.

[@KowgirlBebop333]

Same, penn foster was basically confusing from start to now, I’m on my exam review before testing and this channel was a blessing.

I'm learning so much here compared to the actual course I signed up at AAPC. I have a learning disability and your videos give me an amazing learning experience. I was afraid I won't pass but your teaching techniques are giving me so much confidence. Will there be a part 4? :) Thank you so much

You are absolutely made for teaching this course. you can tell you really love what you do. You want others to get this and you add extra, helpful, well thought of things that just stick with you and you remember because you explained it well or thought of a nifty way to be always sure of ourselves and especially love the three parts that show you what the main category. I was already in school for Medical Coding and Billing in 2011 and a mother of 3 daughter when my father passed away unexpectedly while i was in college about 3 in the morning with my children right there i woke to trying to save his life and get medical help to us with my kids right there. I was 75 percent done but left trying to save my home after losing my Daddy to Ventricular Standstill. So now, I am going to go on back and just bringing what I can on my credits. You make the course more interesting because you are passionate, thorough and encouraging. You inspire me. i have sat through a few of your vids and subscribed as well as successfully took the quizz es.

condition- fracture ankle :sequel(late effect)-arthritis. according to point 4 in slide at 1:19:19, the code must be ( s82.892s, m12.572 )

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

This is the guideline: s. Coding of sequela generally requires two codes sequenced in the following order: the condition or nature of the sequela is sequenced first. The sequela code is sequenced second. So the Nature is first ( M12.572) followed by the Sequela (S82.892S). We apologize for the confusion.

[@goodstar9553]

​@@AMCIMedicalCoding Thanks for the reply.

[@biteme9486]

@@AMCIMedicalCoding But how come the fracture is the Sequela? I'm sorry but i don't understand.

[@cameronwebb8816]

I’m sorry but this is still NOT clear. At 1:14:00 it states that the Arthritis is the sequelae. And it states that the sequelae (late code) is coded second and should have the S as a 7th character. Can you please explain this further? It is very obvious that the Ankle Fracture is NOT the sequelae so it should be coded first.

[@bibiblack5582]

Thank you for making this easier to understand. In reference to coding the sequela, you stated the the sequela is coded after the original condition, however (1:34:24), I noticed you coded the arthritis due to the fracture first then the fracture. Please clarify. Thank you

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

You are very welcome....The Tramatic arthropathy is the sequelae...It gets sequenced first followed by the injury (with the 7th character S)

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

@Yujin Yes, the fractured left ankle caused the sequelae so you would assign the sequelae indicator to that accident code. In essence. You would sequence the late effect illness/condition being treated first, followed by the sequelae of the injury second. When you think about it, it completely describes what happed.

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

@Yujin The chief reason for the encounter should drive your sequencing and the red instructional notations. Why is the patient at the encounter? When no other guideline drives your code selection, always remember to sequence the chief reason for the encounter first for outpatient visits.

[@winter-jf4ld]

It can be read as traumatic arthritis as a (sequela of)ankle fracture, so that the sequencing makes sense. The term sequela is connected to the cause (although it would make better sense if it was connected to the late effect instead). But the guidelines appended the sequela to the cause so thats how we code it.

[@muue8560]

@@AMCIMedicalCoding so TA is the reason for the encounter, so it is coded first, even though it is the real "sequel" or sequela to the Fracture...the "S" at the end of the Fracture code signifies that the Fracture is not the sequela, but has a sequela (the TA). But TA (the actual sequela) is coded first bc it caused the encounter. Is this right? Thank you!

[@nikkibryanapolonio1700]

Got confused with the Sequela (late effects). It says here - "patient fractured his left ankle 6 months ago, today, he has traumatic arthritis in his left ankle in which the Dr. Says it is related to the fracture" Meaning, traumatic arthritis is the late effect or the sequela of the fracture he had 6 months ago right? With that in mind, the code should be S82.892S, M12.572. Please enlighten me if this is wrong.

Hi, I don't understand the sequela. This is what is happening AFTER another acute event. So the Fracture of the ankle was the Original and Traumatic Arthritis happens 6 months later. I would code TA as sequela and fracture first. Can you please clarify? Thank you

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

If a person has an acute injury such as a fractured leg. Then they develop Arthritis, and they were being treated for the arthritis, you would code Traumatic Arthritis first, then the Fracture code with a S as the 7th character extender. I hop e that helps.
