ICD-10-CM CODING GUIDELINES REVIEW - PART 1

[@quindelynwillis1063]

Mr. Hoang Nguyen I just want to come back and tell you THANK YOU! for investing time into breaking down each section to where I could understand. I passed my CPC exam with studying your videos. I am forever grateful to have had such a wonderful online person like you to watch. To all of you who are watching and preparing for the CPC exam you have come to the RIGHT PLACE FOR CLARIFICATION and UNDERSTANDING. Most of all he does this for free and he takes his time to help us when he could be charging. Please watch all of his current videos and they will help. Follow his tips and don’t forget to like and share. Mr Nguyen you are a Godsend. I am always referring people to watch your videos because I know your teachings helped me and can help them.

Thank you anh Hoàng. Em mới xong medical terminology . Em sẽ học ICD 10 tuần sau. Em đang có good job và đang chuẩn bị cho tương lai về sau này làm ở nhà. Thật sự là em sẽ mất khoảng 20K lương mỗi năm trong vài năm đầu nếu bắt đầu ngành này nhưng em phải hy sinh điều đó để có better future.

Hi Oanh Vu. Có thể em mất 20K trong một vài năm đầu để đầu tư vào ngành medical coding nhưng tương lai em có thể kiếm được nhiều tiền hơn, nếu em giỏi thì khoảng 80-100 ngàn một năm và có thể hơn tùy theo kinh nghiệm và bằng cấp của em và được làm việc ở nhà nữa. Good luck em.

[@riversmart8544]

Mr. Hoang Nguyen: why cannot choose C (anemia) in question 1? Since the patient was treated with chemotherapy for his/her liver cancer, that means the anemia was caused by chemotherapy; following the anemia due to chemo, we should code anemia as 1st code, then the cancer coder and adverse of chemo. Please could you clarify more about this case? Thank a lot

[@codingwithhoang]

As a coder, you should strictly follow the ICD-10-CM coding guidelines and based on the guidelines: "When admission/encounter is for management of an anemia associated with the malignancy, and the treatment is only for anemia, the appropriate code for the malignancy is sequenced as the principal or first-listed diagnosis followed by the appropriate code for the anemia" I hope this helps.

Thank for uploading new toturia video sir, dispite the fact that have passed my exam, have already addicted to your channel , sir i want to call your attention to question 9 & 10, in question 9 , why we don't report elevation of the patient blood sugar and in question 10, please sir cross check the right foot ulcer, it seem like L97.521 is for left .

[@codingwithhoang]

The question clearly states that " the patient has periapical abscess which was determined, in part, to be responsible for elevation of the patient's blood sugar" and not from diabetic itself. if hyperglycemia is documented due to diabetic then you can use the combo code E10.65 for type 1 DM with hyperglycemia.

Hi Martha. It's simply because the debridement for ulcer is the focus of this main reason for this visit so you have to choose E10.621 as the principal diagnosis. If the visit is just for a general diabetic lab test, education and counseling then I would go with E10.51. I hope it helps.
