Coach is back!

In this video I explain the difference between "accreditation" and "approval" for Medical Coding Programs. I also explain where I've been and that I am back to my KZbin channel.

[@kristenflint1537]

Hello Master Coach! I stumbled upon your channel yesterday because I was ready to pull my hair out, looking for ICD-10-CM coding examples and explanations. I am currently doing an online class; unfortunately, the online class world hasn't caught up to the real world. It needs to include more discussions with the professor (like you do), videos to show how to look codes up (like you do), guideline explanations for simplicity, and the practice questions we are given do not have the answers. I love my professor, and I don't think it's her as much as educational facilities have not put enough thought and effort into how important SEEING a face with instruction is. How significant example problems with the answers are and the importance of simplification in verbiage. So, I am giving you the biggest, warmest hug and thank you because you are an angel to those of us who need visuals and human 'contact' lol! Mad respect and love!

Thank you so much @kristenflint1537. I sure appreciate your comment.

You look great and I’m so happy to hear about your endeavors! So happy to see you back! #kachina kachina

[@codemastercoach6636]

Kachina Kachina, I miss you. Thank you so much!

[@cattime2044]

welcome back! while you were gone, i passed my CCS exam! look forward to learning further with you. did we ever convince your son to take up medical coding?! he was very good!

[@codemastercoach6636]

Congratulations! That was not an easy task passing the CCS but you did it! My son decided against medical coding. Said it was too much for him.

[@peterg76yt]

These distinctions are important to know when changing careers especially with something as strongly regulated as health care and it's great to have them clearly explained. (I've been asking about medical coding credentials in Canada and NO-ONE has been able to give me a complete answer.)

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you @peterg76yt. I totally agree.

[@chakahanbellamy-moore4305]

Welcome back Coach, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing that info about the accredited versus approval. I get asked that question a lot.

[@codemastercoach6636]

Hi Chaka. Thank you for the comment. I'm glad to be back.

[@mistiburton2790]

[@nicolebrennon6124]

Also, an excellent topic to discuss that may be on everyone's mind is how "AI" will affect medical coders or change the medical coding industry.

[@codemastercoach6636]

Yes. Thank you so much. I will definitely get to work on this for you and will upload a video soon.

[@brendawhiteside3785]

Hello, its good to hear you are coming back. I was so lost without you. Can you do more scenarios coding from the Medical Record I learned so much from you I actually felt I was coding in the world with those scenarios.❤❤❤

[@codemastercoach6636]

Hi Brenda, thank you. I definitely will.

[@brendawhiteside3785]

Can you do a demonstration on how to use the two monitors while coding a chart?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Excellent idea Brenda. I will put that on my list of ideas.@@brendawhiteside3785

[@lindameggers1999]

I just started. I learned more from you than the book and teacher

[@codemastercoach6636]

Glad I can help @lindameggers1999. You can do this!

[@dorothyedwards7225]

Congratulations for everything that has come your way!

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you so much @dorothyedwards7225.

[@tamaradenise3]

Welcome Back! Can you discuss the Category II Codes( tracking and performance)with a few examples?😊

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you @tamaradenise3. I will definitely put your video idea "Category II Codes", on the list.

[@nicolebrennon6124]

Welcome Back! How do I access information about your courses?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Email me at [e-mail] and I will gladly share it with you.

[@dorothyedwards7225]

I have another suggestion if you please. What things do you need to know about the insurance aspect of medical coding? What experience is needed or is an advantage for the insurance aspect of medical coding? Thank you very much!!🙏🙏🙏💓💗😇💕

[@alandasylvester5521]

We have missed you

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you! I'm excited to come back.

[@dorothyedwards7225]

Perhaps you can do a video on what to expect on the exam and things related about the exam?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Excellent idea @dorothyedwards7225.

[@sally_singz4383]

I am interested in moving forward. I've already completed one semester with you. Is there a link?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Please email me at [e-mail]

[@user-gs3kz8dx4h]

Can you do a video on infusion and injection therapy coding including administration and encounter ?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Great idea @user-gs3kz8dx4h. I will put that on the list.

[@latishahamilton4127]

What is the most challenging thing in the medical coding and billing world?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Excellent video idea. I will start working on this. Thank you.

[@shaitormet9576]

I have a video idea and I have so many questions. I am finally a coder and I’m doing dx coding only at the moment for pathology and OMG it’s hard. It’s the speed amongst other things that I’m having a problem with. How do you increase your speed? That would be a good video idea! Also do you do one on ones? Thanks in advance. I have other questions that I will send in an email soon!

[@codemastercoach6636]

Excellent idea @shaitormet9576. How to increase your speed when coding will definitely be a video that I will prepare.

[@pcookie2993]

What is the job outlook for this career?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Excellent video idea. I will respond soon. Thank you.
