ICD-10-CM CODING GUIDELINES REVIEW - PART 2

[@tonimcelhaney544]

Mr. Nguyen, because of your videos I learned enough about CPT coding to pass the CCS exam. I appreciate you so much; and I tell as many people I can for your helpful and inspiring lessons. Many thanks to you.

[@codingwithhoang]

Hi Toni. Wow congratulations on passing the CCS exam which is one of the most difficult exams to pass even for experienced medical coders. Passing the CCS exam proves you have the ability and talent to become a great coder. Wishing you all the best for your future career!

[@funwithhannah1813]

Hi Toni, did you pass the CCS exam from Mr. Nguyen’s videos only? I am currently taking a class for the CCS exam but am not learning much, Mr. Nguyen videos are far more helpful. Mr. Nguyen do you offer any classes?

[@tonimcelhaney544]

@@funwithhannah1813 I learned CPT strictly here. The ICD10 cm/PCS I knew from CDI experience x 8 years but took a refresher from Pietro.

[@unappealingundesirable2826]

Toni, I'm taking my CPC exam on June 11. How many modifier-related questions were on your test? Anethesia is usually hard, but I'm good at math, so I can probably do well on the "calculate anesthesia time" questions.

You are such a lovely soul. I am attempting self study for CPC exam, having been an lpn for 20 yrs. It's tougher than I thought it would be. You are so helpful. Thank you.

[@codingwithhoang]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really admire your dedication to self-study, especially after 20 years as an LPN-that’s incredible! The CPC exam can be challenging, but with your experience and hard work, you’re on the right track. I’m so glad the videos are helpful for you, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

[@annettecamporeale7617]

I am feeling more and ore confident every day watching you videos...I am getting 99% of the answers correct! I hope to sit for my CPC next week. Have recommended you and you outstanding videos to ALL of my Coding Groups.

[@jessiethomas3950]

Hi Mr Hoang, I was in school 3 years ago for coding and billing, and due to work, marriage, having a baby, etc., I was unable to sit for the CPC while my learning was still fresh. 3 years later, I've been using your videos for the last 3 months to study and prepare for the exam, and they have been a God send. I just found out I passed my exam this morning! It is all thanks to your teachings, methods and strategies, and your clear and logical way of explaining things. I'm very grateful for you. Jessie

Hi Bhuvana. Congratulations on passing the CPC exam and thank you so much for sharing this good news with me. If you are new to coding then I suggest you take the COC exam which is very similar to the CPC in the near future so that you will have a better chance to get hired for having multiple credentials. If you are currently working as a coder then passing the CCS will be your ultimate goal. Good luck and thank you so much for your support.

[@codingwithhoang]

Do you have a code for history of COPD? This is a chronic condition and irreversible like CAD, CHF, DM ect. so it always needs to be monitored and that's why I don't think ICD-10 has a code for history of COPD. I hope it helps
