Yes,I would love to see more videos of E&M. I just got through my CPT course and am very confused about E&M. Would love to see more cases!

[@ZEREF49]

Mam just wanted to tell u I passed my CPC exam (87%) ur vedious were a real help so thank you

[@kodid.8229]

I love when you share some examples and work through them with us. I am also loving how you added the download of the cases because it really does make it that much easier to follow along! Thank you for making this content!

[@mirandas9258]

Please do more of these. I finished school and plan on taking my CPC exam soon, and these have helped enhance my critical thinking. Your videos have helped so much. Especially considering I did on line school and it is just not the same as in the classroom.

[@shaunagingrich8740]

These case study videos where you walk us through the steps are so helpful! Thank you!!

[@jessicae8866]

VICTORIA - PLEASE CREATE MORE E/M VIDEOS! This was a HUGE help to me! Thank you!

[@tania.daniel]

Yes, more videos like these. They’re so helpful! Thank you!! ❤

[@pudgyplanter1130]

YES! YES! YES! More like this. I am a beginner student in CPT Coding. I love it so far, we have a great instructor. I am getting my certificate at my local community college MCC (Mchenry County College) and just need a little extra sometimes and my favorite way for someone to explain things to me is with EXAMPLES!! Love your content, you are helping me tremendously! We are currently working on Chapter 6 E&M in our CPT 2024 edition , just finished up Path and Labs. So this is perfect! Keep'em coming! 🤓🤓🤓🤓❤❤

[@kimkranz9764]

This is a year ago, but I really like these. I love going through the case and breaking it down, it helps me a lot, even though I've been coding for a bit.

[@chacesands4846]

I would love more videos on E&M please. This was incredibly helpful! Thank you!

[@heidigard1897]

Yes! Very helpful! I work for a small medical practice and would love more office case studies😊

[@avincent6757]

Yes!! Thank you for this! I have been coding for almost 1 year. I had just got the complete hang of 97 guidelines then BAM! in came 2023 guidelines busting in like the Kool-aid man! 😂 this has been helpful! I would love more videos like this! I was also wondering if you could do one on Split Shared visits for hospitalist? That has tripped me up quite a bit! Thank you for all your wonderful content! 😊

[@marloann4]

thanks so much for sharing! I have been an e/m coder for 2 years now and always find these videos so helpful

[@valeriegarcia6582]

love your videos. I would like to request case studies on Gastroenterology. examples of screening colonoscopies with family history or other GI issues

[@ChaunteMcKinney]

Love the case study and yes please do more especially in the other chapters! So helpful and you make some things so much clearer!

[@ljaqui]

I would love to see more of these case studies. It’s so helpful. Thank you!!

[@jennamcewen1409]

I would LOVE more case studies! I am studying for my CEMC exam and this was very helpful! EM is not my strong suit but I always find it easier when someone talks me through some examples! Thank you!

[@montgomerycross9466]

Great video, I'm considering trying to become a medical coder and I've been watching your videos. I find them extremly helpful in understanding medical coding. I just wanted to point out since I didn't see it mentioned in the comments, on the first case study in this video of the patient who fell off the ladder while painting his house, the copy that you have linked doesn't exactly match what you show in the video. The statement where it says "X-ray images personally reviewed by me" is not mentioned in the link copy. As soon as I realized it I was able to continue to follow along with the video. I agree with everyone in wanting to see more case studies, it helps to see examples of how it's done. Thanks.

[@Cynt12345]

Hi Victoria, I would love to see your thoughts and examples when there is more than 1 provider seeing a patient the same day for inpatient or emergency/critical services.

[@mrspress8057]

I know these are older videos, but I’d love more. Especially content on coding out entire cases. I am really struggling with knowing when to code procedures, test, labs, drugs, etc separately or not. Sometimes some of that is made pretty clear in the note, but not everything, and certainly not always. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I just passed my certification exam, but multiple choice and real world are completely different animals 😅 The struggle is real with E/M for me.

[@CherylHolt-g8c]

Love to see step by step E/M coding for Emergency Room

[@MaryEllenHerbison-om9ge]

Great vedios. Still practicing so I can do great on CPC exam. I'm a slow reader but a fast learner. This helps alot. Ty.

[@leawest1249]

We definitely need more like these. Thank you so much!

[@susantsinghrajput4290]

Yess afcourse

[@sharonhill2935]

I would love more E/M coding example with the details you always share. Thanks for helping.

[@lisablackstock9650]

I’d love to see more e/m videos. Just got my CPB cert and am working the coursework with AAPC for CPC and e/m has been the most difficult to grasp and then add modifiers to them-my brain explodes. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!

[@meganfayette5546]

Please provide more of these cases, they are so helpful watching you breakdown each class while simplifying and abstracting e.m code.

[@meganfayette5546]

Case* not class

[@susansponheimer8503]

Please post more E/M videos. Thank you for posting!

[@michele6375]

Hi Victoria, yes please, please, please do! Especially doctor's office, ED when there is no time and hard to determine MDM. Thank you!

[@JoyPeters-lc8yv]

More and varied case studies always appreciated. Doing Practicode now. Each case comes up with a new way to confuse me. Trying to figure out a systematic "plan of attack" but each one is so different. Thank you!

[@Moonbunny55]

I’m doing Practicode. Man, it’ll drain every ounce of confidence to be able to code 😂

[@karlenemclean6363]

Yes I would like you to go over more E/M .I am considering to do the CEMC exam

[@meyoublue4703]

Definitely would appreciate more of these! Currently studying for my CPMA. I have a CCS. E/M is confusing me.. there are so many moving components.

[@saidaescobedo9490]

Yes! Please do more videos like This!! All Series, Any Series, HCPCS Too!! please please please!!

[@marietrinkaus5928]

I appreciate this video so much! I am on the E/M chapters of the CPC course through AAPC, self-studying here. E/M has so many components and layers, so any exposure to E/M I can get is incredibly helpful. I am curious to see if there are any links that you've posted on your channel as to where we might be able to print out a copy of the AMA's MDM Risk Table? Thanks so much!

[@TheIsa709]

Yessss more of these sooooo helpful!!! EM is so confusing to me still 😂. Need all the help i can get! Love your channel ❤

[@irisgilbert1525]

I'd love to watch more of your videos. Honestly I could really use, I'm in my first year of MCO and alot is confusing when it comes to coding. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@elondaelston1885]

Great video! Definitely do more like this one! Thank you Victoria 👍🏾

[@CaitlinRoland]

Great info! Thank you. Please have more E&M family/Wellness visits

[@lynnekstrom5001]

This was so helpful! I would love more examples like these.

[@CieraMychele]

I have been cruising through my coding course, everything has been making sense. It was only once I got to the evaluation and management section that I'm just.. confused. I'm coming here to watch so maybe I can go back and read the lesson again w more context I'm so close to being done gotta learn this!! This is my last unit🎉😃

[@shirinkhan7889]

I am taking the course for medical billing and coding,I really excited to review the chapter that we are going through to study 😃

[@faizanzafar4369]

You are a GOAT..Thank you for your efforts and time❤️

[@ottogibbs9535]

Would love to see more videos on E&M. Thanks for your help.

[@princessannreyes1168]

Yes please more videos. Please put the final answer as well thank you!

[@angied1980]

Hi! Thank you for your great videos! If you can do some more videos like these that would be great! I am a certified coder that works for pediatric ED so any case from the ED would be great!

[@kristanmiller5589]

This is great. I'm currently taking cpt class at Devry University. Will graduate in June.

[@lindameggers1999]

You are so much better than my teacher

[@mercrn1995]

Hi , yes, thank you, more videos of e/m. It's a bit challenging :) Watching your videos is very helpful :)

[@marcymaher7691]

Hi Victoria! Thanks for this video! Yes! Please do more like this. Super helpful!

[@hankap.4009]

Yes more videos please..specifically minimal vs low risk

[@Girlwhatzdatea_]

@contempocoding YES! Can you please do IP, OBS, Consults and more ED cases

[@hholveck]

I would like to see more videos like this especially pertaining to E/M with modifier 25.

[@JustOnePageAway]

Yes please more videos like this one. Thanks so much 🎉

[@KarenGuadagno]

Hi Victoria, Thanks to your awesome videos, I passed the CPC exam last month (by the skin of my teeth with a 70%), but I had failed the year before so I was happy to have passed. However, I am working on the Practicode through AAPC and am having a really difficult time, especially with E/M coding. Can you tell me if I need to use the 'guide' I've seen you use in a few of your videos and where I can find one? I seem to be 'guessing' or 'assuming' how much time was spent or how difficulty the visit seemed to be and am getting them wrong, usually by 1 number. I appreciate any feedback and all of your previous videos which helped me pass the test!

[@sundarsathrihitler4633]

Mam I love ur excellent classes ❤❤

[@Mads_cozycorner]

More Case Studies!!!! I love these sooo helpful

[@kerriruff3835]

Would love some E&M coding on Oncology office visits.

[@maryzimmerman5068]

Victoria, could you have a lesson on coding sequencing from the coding book, where you have to extend codes from the red small box, where the code is extended. the examples come from the coding book.

[@MAGAMeg2025]

Thank you so much for the weather metaphor. E/M is subjective!

[@yvonneellison5513]

Yes, More videos with examples. Can you also do some on Stroke coding. Thank you!

[@blessedspicemarshall7083]

Another great video. Can you share some light. Mr Scott admitted to observation on 4/5 to 4/6. Then on 4/6 his status changed to inpatient and was discharged on 4/6. Using the new E&M guidelines what would be the correct E&M codes for 4/6? Thank you.

[@karenduvall8323]

Thanks. This was helpful. Studying for CPB scheduled for next month. Yes I would like more case studies.

[@ContempoCoding]

Glad it was helpful!

[@saiamruthamagapu8168]

Yes this is helpful and my request is to do a video on a clear clarification can we bill e&m on same day surgery performed to an inpatient visit.........please clarify

[@Moonbunny55]

I wish that the AMA grid could be used for the CPC exam 😊. I’m definitely going to memorize those questions to ask for level selection!

[@yvonnevaldez1165]

Yes I would love to see more E&M videos.

[@kaleenadaniel5133]

Maybe a silly question but I was wondering with the CPC and the COC I know the COC has additional things on the exam but can we still use CPC examples? Also do you know if/when you might do a training in COC? or even where I can get guidance on COC. I have been in the field but now i want to get my credential.

[@Ccmama0717]

Love your videos!! Can you please do one with tips on how to pass the CCA State exam? My test is next week and I would love to absorb all the knowledge I can to help me be successful!

[@dawnrogers1448]

Yes I would like more videos on E & M even when billed with AWV

[@BlueyMom]

Love these example videos! They are so helpful

[@timarieczichas3739]

Yes please do more like this! Thank you.

[@mrsmitny]

Yes, can you please do more, I am studying independently and just need more clarity

[@gigiharrell3777]

Yes please can you provide more e&m videos that have a lot of information to review. Can't seem to extract enough information to get accurate e&m codes

[@kristiaustin9221]

Yes please. I learn a lot from them! Thanks!

[@muhammadsiddique1167]

Great. Ok do case studies on E/M And preventive carr

[@karenhodges4933]

Thank you! I really enjoyed this! Can you do more videos when it would be appropriate to bill an E/M in addition to another E/M visit on the same day(Office)!!?

[@aliciafaith1343]

Hello Victoria please make more videos like this. Thank you

[@tmomo7265]

More videos with case studies please. This was very helpful.

[@KarenJohnson-7548]

Hello! great videos I learn so much when watching you. You answered this question already but I need a little bit more. For the AMI case you coded subsequent E/M and not initial, is this due to the report stating the patient had been in the hospital for 3 days? Does the length of time in the hospital warrant the subsequent code?

[@brosistass]

Very helpful. Can you share more

[@kathrinegilmore2832]

Hi there! As it pertains to what qualifies as prescription drug management for E&M/MDM. Would you count an order for home supplemental O2? How about “Continue Lisinopril” with I10 DX if that’s as specific as the docu gets? Thanks 😊

[@jamesstevenson7725]

I would love you to make more videos like this

[@saralemmons1]

Hello!! I have a question about your last example please! If on the exam it states to specifically find the E/M code for that office visit for the marble removal, would we still go ahead and not code the e/m code and still code for 30300? Thank you so much!

[@melodydiaz1990]

Have you ever did a video on how mcgraw hill is teaching the cpt books? I just started the course learning the cpt book barely a week and I'm confused

[@susansponheimer8503]

Can you a video regarding the CCA exam? Or do you just focus on the CPC?

[@pamelawhite5107]

Thank you so much! If you could do E&M Hematology I would so appreciate that

[@fazalqadir3414]

Hello victoria this video is really helpful.

[@sallybennett5758]

YES PLEASE...more videos like these...need all the help I can get...lol

[@Erikay80]

Would you please do more videos like these with CPT codes and ICD-10 codes (looking for keywords and moving from there)? They are very helpful. 😊

[@ohmira27]

Hi, can you do walk-throughs for primary care?

[@mistydempsey4152]

What’s your opinion on an urgent care, pt presents for abscess, I&D performed and provider prescribes antibiotics. In my opinion the antibiotics are not inherent to the procedure and would qualify for a separate E/M. Thoughts?!

[@LaurieBlake-j5e]

On the Acute Myocardial Infarction, you chose 99232, subsequent. Why did you choose subsequent and not initial? I would love to see more case studies. I struggle with E/M. You are an excellent instructor.

[@ContempoCoding]

Because it wasn't an inpatient admit and it was not the group's first time seeing the patient.

[@The_Caffinated_Duchess]

I'm looking for that video that you did about using the glue gun to fix the ring binder..Do you still have it up and can you link it in a reply? Please & thank you!!!!

[@meivelsenthil307]

victoria please give explanations with Software coding for E and M its very full to code accurate level and cpt codes and various condition for minor and major procedures and timings of visit

[@ContempoCoding]

Thank you for the suggestion -- I will add it on to my list of video ideas.

[@alisagilmore9856]

I would love to see more examples of emergency room EM levels

[@Hannahweirofficial]

Question though, how did you determine that the fracture was a straightforward fracture?

[@Stitchy_Mermaid]

Where can I get the downloadable audit tool to take / use for the exam? Thank you!

[@martharamsey2821]

PLEASE do more E&M Case Studies!!

[@ContempoCoding]

Thank you for the suggestion -- I will add it on to my list of video ideas.

[@ZoZ972]

Hi Victoria, can you please explain more about the independent interpretation

[@ContempoCoding]

Yes, here is the AMA definition. Independent interpretation: The interpretation of a test for which there is a CPT code and an interpretation or report is customary. This does not apply when the physician or other qualified health care professional is reporting the service or has previously reported the service for the patient. A form of interpretation should be documented but need not conform to the usual standards of a complete report for the test.

[@annabrasuhn5598]

I understand the global package for surgery can you discuss critical care on the same day as surgery! And colonoscopy for Anesthesia

[@ContempoCoding]

Thank you for the suggestion -- I will add it on to my list of video ideas.

[@suzanneporter5353]

Absolutely more cases please!
