CPT Coding for Beginners by AMCI Part 1

[@monicam.9612]

I was enrolled a medical coding program years ago and I couldn't figure out or understand how to properly code. The CPT book was so confusing to me at the time & my instructor wasn't any help. I am only 30 minutes into this video I feel like I totally understand the CPT book and how to code correctly. The instructor of this video is great at teaching this course.

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Thank you so much for letting us know that our lectures are helpful 😊

[@mgbuploads23]

hi Monica. were you able to work as a medical coder?

[@benjaming4854]

Monica that is way everyone can't be an instructor. so many teachers and instructor out there but they are not teacher or instructor.

[@ketyd8330]

Me too

[@leasha1117]

Yes!! I feel the same way!!

[@jenniferstickles1688]

I love this presenter. She's great and enthusiastic and keeps me focused.

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

thanks for letting us know our lectures are helpful

[@AlwaysBelieve777]

I really appreciate this instructor. Her voice is so welcoming.

[@chelseafuller4998]

I CANT WAIT until you post another video. I just wasn’t understanding medical coding before I came across your videos. You are a true teacher! You have a gift that others only have a partial form of. If you could teach everyone that chose to seek out medical coding, you would have a 100% successful graduating class. I love your videos 💜 keep posting PLEASE. ur a God send!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

We are happy to help Chelsea. You are a true coder! See you next time.

[@GodsUnchangingHand68]

I just subscribed. I'm so grateful for you. I love the way you explain how to look up the main term ....verify....and confirm. I look forward to more videos from you.

[@lyndsaydelbalzo9583]

did you take a coding credential exam?

[@ricky4709]

Your comment is what made to stay and watch. Ty Chelsea.

[@619raewellsful]

The best teacher. I wish more instructors were like her.

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@lesadrummond5338]

Have faith! There are some very amazing teachers and adjunct instructors, I have an amazing instructor, props to @wandamarkie-hunter at Calhoun Community College in N. Alabama!! I'm using these videos as an extra study too, BTW, these videos are AMAZING as well! Perfect for that extra bit of understanding I needed for my final exams! Thank you so much!

[@JeanHague]

I am so happy I stumbled upon your channel. I was planning to enrol in a paid Coding course but I can't because of the high fees they are charging. And here you are, giving it away for free, what a big blessing to me!! The speaker also have a very clear, calm and enticing voice. Hats off to you!! Thank you so much for this!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

We're so glad to help!

[@cristijames8627]

I wish I had found this channel in the beginning. I am actually still learning what I missed or misunderstood. Clear and Consistant speaking and no extra info that is not needed, staying the course and as nearly deaf person I appreciate you!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Welcome aboard! We are so happy to help!

[@weightloss_healthifi]

This comment had us in the first half ngl

[@tamalawise7396]

I'm literally 5 minutes in this tutorial and I feel so good about your teaching. You are absolutely amazing

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Thank you for your kind words. We are happy to help.

[@Sugar_Coded]

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude for your videos. I was on a downward spiral psyching myself out and completely forgot the basics.

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

So glad we could help!

[@annmcdonough1470]

❤️❤️❤️ Just signed up for this CPC class… life can be tough, could you just narrate my life? So soothing to listen to you!! Needless to say I think studying will be a pleasure!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Aww thank you so much Mrs Ann

[@spx356atpro]

English is my second language. I couldn't understand much in the course that I took until I came across your video. After I watched your video, everything made sense to me. I wish that I have known your AMCI course before took mine. Thank you so much for your clear explaination and all the cool tips. Yes, you are a true teacher!!!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

This is fantastic to know. We have a large number of students from other countries who study with us in our private courses, and they influence how we teach. Please tell everyone about this channel. That will encourage the instructors to develop more content.

[@ingerjackson3809]

O this was refreshing and straight to the point I have my CCA going for my CCS test next week and just doing some review. Alot of people on youtube are long winded or speak so fast that its not retainable. Thank you!

[@Ms.EmilyHCIL]

Welcome to AMCI and we’re glad you enjoyed our video! Stay tuned for more!

[@Ms.EmilyHCIL]

👍🏾👍🏾

[@homemadesafe]

I'm trying to pass my CPC within the next week and these instructional videos are way easier to understand the CPT than I previously understood. Thank you for posting!!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Best of luck!

[@chelseafuller4998]

I looove your videos. I’m self studying for my CPC exam right now and have been for the last month. I’m trying my hardest without a syllabus or curriculum but I have not found a better instructor than you! You have taught me so much and I finally think I have gotten the hang of it 💜

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

We are very happy you are here. I recommend that you include this series (playlist) in your studies: kzbin.info/aero/PLaKD1ZIZH2Lt8K-nx8iDS7yPzU8Cnx-19 If you need more assistance contact AMCI .... www.amcicoding.com

[@sarahfranceschi973]

Mr J is simply amazing. They way she teaches is so approachable. I feel like she could explain quantum physics to me and I would understand it :)

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Wow, thank you!

[@FedericoMortera]

Im 65 years old and started to love this.. i hope I can work as medical coder

[@Ms.EmilyHCIL]

Being a medical coder does not discriminate in age. You got this!

[@Ms.EmilyHCIL]

We’re glad you’re enjoying our videos!! Welcome and stay tuned for more videos!

[@Luke91633]

I am a slow learner and currently jobless and homeless . I want to get into a field that meets human needs . So at my age I want to try to become a medical coder . So this helps . I started a coding class but work at time tied me up. Now I have to start all over again and refresh .

[@FrankieWright-bc3gq]

I’m enjoying learning about coding via AMCI’s videos and Coding with Hoang. The instructor in this video is taking her time to explain, gives examples and exercises. I don’t have books to follow along with so I’m writing what she says down. I recommend these videos to anyone wanting to learn coding. The more you hear, see and do the better you understand. Thanks for making these self paced videos!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Thank you for joining the AMCI family.

[@johngina2292]

Mrs. JAY!!! I appreciate you 🙏❤ I am currently in a AAPC course and I always start all my chapters with your videos first because you are the best teacher. I only wish I would've have known about your AMCI courses before I started mine. I'm so grateful that I can reference these online...so THANK YOU 😊 🙏 🙌

Thanks for watching!

[@jadijones317]

WOW! LET ME TELL YOU GUYS.... im in a medical coding program as we speak and they did not in no way shape or form detail as much explanation as this woman did in 5 minutes. My program Leaves me confused!! and its very discouraging and makes me want to give up. But thank the lord i found your videos you are a LIFE SAVER! god bless and please continue to teach us your amazing knowledge . Your an phenomenal teacher!!!

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad to help. Go luck on yourr coding journey.

[@sabrinafuzz87]

Ok this is my favorite reader of guidelines on KZbin so far. When she said Outstanding because I picked esophagotomy, I felt it 😊

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

So glad we could help! Thanks for joining us.

[@justlooking4me]

I wish I could afford the course right now. I really appreciate your teaching style and the information provided.

[@meanstoanend2008]

I know right! She makes it so exciting! I was weary about learning to code because I've heard so many people say "coding isn't for everyone" or that "coding is hard"; but once I saw this video, I was like, "No! It's not THAT hard at all!" Of course, I know this is just the beginning, but now I can certainly "see" myself coding! Yesss . . . I AM a Coder! I had been looking throughout KZbin for an Instruction Video to actually see what I was "getting myself into" and now I have no doubt that I can do this! It is all because of you! You make it easy and exciting. Your teaching style and your enthusiasm is contagious! You have definitely earned a subscriber. This kind of instruction is so needed because this Career Choice already causes you to have to spend chunks of money on a regular basis, whether it's tuition, books, memberships for certification, tests, seminars, etc. And being a single mother, I can only afford so much; but it feels so good to know that there's "supplemental instruction" -- reliable and dependable instruction -- if I "hit a wall". Thank you so much for being here! We DEFINITELY need you! I cannot wait to get my book and actually get started! I am super-excited! 😃👍

[@frimponghenry6544]

Pls as a beginner wanting to pursue CPC... What are the code manuals I will need to purchase for my studies and beyond?... Thanks 🙏

[@AMCIMedicalCoding]

ICD-10-CM, CPT and HCPCS Level II are the coding manuals allowed for the exam. To Study for the certification exams, AMCI uses the following: The 3 coding manuals, Buck's Step-By-Step (as an instructional Guide), AMCI MCG manual, and depending upon the certification exam: CPC -Official CPC Certification Study Guide, CCS-P - CCS-P Exam Prep by AHIMA

[@candice3934]

I got my medical coding certificate in 2016. I have never put it to use. Now I am wanting to really build a career in this and your video has helped me brush up and remember . You are an excellent instructor! Thank You!

It's like she can't explain it well to me and the whole class is confused but I'm the worst off. I'm completely lost and I think I'm hating coding because I don't understand it based on the instructions given to me.
