First of all I have to say you are an excellent speaker. I hope you do seminars. I am a Licensed Acupuncturist in Private Practice. One of the difficulties I am having lately is with DME. The VA requires an RFS/SAR for DME. They have changed this recently. It has been incredibly difficult to order knee/back braces and tens units because -if you are not a biller or a PT- it is difficult to select the proper HCPCS code for the equipment needed. If you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Great job, have a great day.

[@karenabel8800]

Thank you for the explanation on using HCPCS book. It was very helpful!

I had no idea you were out in reading! I’m in PA too. How were you able to find a remote job? Is your company based here in PA or is it other places that allow you to be remote? I had been looking up available jobs and there aren’t a lot based here in PA but I found many remote jobs listed as “anywhere”

[@Mike_Oxlong21]

Hi, + I enjoy listening to you, I'm learning a lot from your videos, I have a question about D codes in HCPCS book, I don't see them, where i can find them? Thank you!

I'm starting hcpcs now and it is so confusing it's like I have to reprogram my brain from CPT and icd10 I knew I had to find a video from you to break it down

Not sure if you may help with this specifically but, any book recommendations for medical interpreter (English to Spanish).

[@CourtneyKangaroo]

Question: Does the HCPCS have omitted letter sections?

[@mayelinsuarez8751]

What is the difference between modifiers QM and QN? Is one directly provided by a provider while the other is from 911??

[@srajeshkumar1977]

Will you be able to post a video on hcpcs h-codes-h0001-h000*, how to use and what do these codes cover

Do you have to get the 2023 book or can you still use your 2021

What does Indicator 9 mean for Radiology Services? It’s confusing.

Hi Victoria! If you have a test question, that starts with "a Medicare patient", are you only reporting HCPCS II codes only or combined with CPT codes?

[@ContempoCoding]

Depends on what the service is. A flu vaccine administration for example, you would use the G0008 instead of 90471.

[@erecabredy9582]

Hi Elton! I have tons and tons of videos that can cover a lot of questions. I also have weekly livestreams to ask general questions.

Hi Victoria, could you please upload the pdf version of this book as you uploaded ICD 10 CM book.

I cannot due to copyright law.

[@speakup4692]

Hi

[@marjoriesperez7060]

Good afternoon VictoriaI have a question.. Today, i went to an CPC interview.. ( as a first time) the employer gave a package with some exercise to do.. All the exercises were similar like these one but in different branches of the medicine. Exercise 1- they put 12 medicine and the employer wanted i gave him a “diagnostic of the patient”.. Is it right?? Af course i couldn’t do 1 exercise..I feel very frustrated.. 😭😭😭.. please help..All the interviews are on that way?? .. Because i feel i will never work as a coder if it is on that way.. the employer told me: you should be able to do it.. 😭😭😔.. well i don’t know if you can answer these kind of question.. 😞

[@bernfran1313]

Wow.

[@djp7314]

I’m studying right now but i can’t seem to find the level II seven digit alphanumeric codes. For example: 0BH17EZ, 0CQ03ZZ. I cannot find these. I’ve never seen these codes before

[@kathyfriesen7898]

Hello I just love your vidios and they have been very helpfull, I been a coder since 2005 but for the last 10 years for the providers I work for I now do their credentialing claims and insurance verifacation and I have a question. In April the code J1040 was deleted and replaced with J1010 and according to the HCPCS book this should be coded J1010 x 80 but the gentleman who dose the coding now coded J1010 with the NDC code 00009-3475-01 with 1 unit. I feel this is not correct. What do you think can it be coded like that and still get paid the same as if it was coded with 80 units

[@DuyenNguyen-qd8dv]

do you have class for CPC exam that I can sign up?

[@ContempoCoding]

Not at this time, I do not provide a full CPC course.
