E&M Medical Coding - How to Level E and M Code (Part 2)

[@cindythomas4246]

You have just helped me understand E/M coding!!!! I never could get it in school or at work. I am an outpatient ED coder and do not code E/M codes. In my facility, I code only diagnosis codes and procedure codes. But I feel much more confident in taking the new COC exam after watching your part I and II Leveling videos and I want to thank you!!!

[@MELANIES.BIGGEST.FAN1]

Oh. My. Gosh. Who would have known how simple this is?! I have stressed so much over it and you have made it incredibly simple.

[@saintpebble]

Bless you for making this, I had other tools given to me in my classes for coding E/M and NOTHING made sense until you explained it so simply like this. Thank you

[@sobluebedford]

just started studying for the cpc and I am not joking when I say after all the classes I took for my RHIT, I could never make any kind of sense whatsoever of E/M until now. graduated, took the rhit, and never got it until I found CCO when going for my CPC. So thank you very very much.

[@Taburton87]

OMG! This is awesome! I just graduated from a medical billing & coding degree program and I can honestly say that E/M was the hardest part to learn for my class! We struggled with it BAD! Colleges don't teach you how to prepare for the CPC exam, they focus more on the fundamentals of coding... so you really have to invest a little more in outside resources to help polish your skills in time to sit for the exam. Watching this, I can now say the light bulb has finally clicked on inside my head. I feel waaay more confident tackling E/M for my CPC exam this summer, thanks to this method. Thank you sooo much for sharing this!

[@marjiecassell2530]

These 2 videos made more sense and were far better taught than the entire chapter in the textbook. Thank you, thank you!

[@CCO]

You're welcome! Thanks for the kind words.

[@sunrise2day462]

Agreed!!!!

[@nitajordan6201]

In classes now you just cause the light 💡 to go bright!! This is helping early in my understanding.. Thank you so very much

[@rosabaez876]

great video! thanks much! I learned my EM level today! I couldn't get it right with my teacher but now I know how to get them! thanks to Ms. Jandroep! God bless you!☺☺☺

[@lawilson9047]

Ms. Jandroep is the Coding Guru!! This has changed my life 😀

[@dncefrq9049]

I wish I found your video sooner!! I am scheduled to take my CPC exam in the next month and was seriously doubting my E/M skills. I'm not worried anymore! I'm going to ace that part! Thank you!

[@sunrise2day462]

You are by far one of the BEST coding instructors I have ever scene!! The way you explain this information is great!!!!

[@duchessaria]

i understood this in less than 10min. i wish i had found this before my final! TG i discovered it before my exam next week!!! xo thank you for this so much!

[@CCO]

You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful and good luck on the exam! We have a Proven Process for passing it at www.cco.us/cco-proven-process/

[@lenoracarey8703]

I have been watching a lot of your videos...where has this one been??? Can wait to try this technique on my next practice test

[@vevuns]

Wow! thank you so much for this video (and part 1). I've been reading my code book and trying to wrap my head around how to choose 3/3 and 2/3. The way you taught it is exactly how my brain works and I got it right away! I wish I could thumbs up this video 1000 times!

[@CCO]

+vevuns Glad you liked it! Let us know if there are other topics you'd like to see. helpdesk.cco.us --Laureen

[@b.lovenlight6777]

You are the Guru! I wish I had taken your course because I am using many of your videos and techniques! I take my exam in a few weeks, and when I pass I will definitely be getting further credentials with CCO! ;)

[@venusazaboy]

This is great, Laureen!! Now I would love to see this done with Hospital E&M coding. I recently started coding for a Hospital and the E&M for them is difficult for me! Looking at the notes, it's hard to tell what makes up the decision making for E&M coding.

[@catherinerose2214]

Thank you oh so much! I think I am going to purchase your on demand E/M webinar also. I am a CPC-A and am working on getting rid of that A. I am looking forward to what more you help me to understand better. I need more help with surgical procedures and will be looking for help with that. Thanks again!

[@Sessalady]

Thank you soo much leveling is soo clear now. I shared this with my teacher n she used your method to teach the leveling. Especially the protocol for 3of3 and 2of 2. I was doing it all wrong I'm taking my second cpc aapc exam in two weeks n I feel ready now. I only failed before by a few points. Wish me luck😊

[@rushidhruva]

Ms Laureen, you are truly a genius, thank you!

[@newdeep6086]

Thank you so much. I got the understanding of leveling with this awesome and informative video

[@hbraun930]

I can't believe it....I got it!!!! Wish I would have found this video earlier. Thank you so much.

[@sherilee523]

Thank you so much. I've been struggling in my studies with E/M. After watching your videos, I can now code EM correctly.

[@laureenjandroep]

+Sheri Underwood Glad it helped Sheri! Check out more goodies we have on our website. :)

[@joshiranjana]

Not all providers note tell you about HEM. The main reason for the education is to HEM yourself from the documentation where provider do not specify HEM.

[@sheilaventura]

Oh my goodness thank you so much for that great explanation. Now I understand how to code the E/M leves. I definitely didn't know how to do it at college with my professor and no one else until now that I saw this video. Thank you once again and I'm gonna go and rock the CCs exam soon!!

[@kenyonstinson7366]

Thank you so much! I was struggling with the leveling before your videos. Thank you for simplifying and explaining so well.

[@sdff7013]

I get it. Thank you.i am stidying for my medical billing and coding certification

[@sdff7013]

Studying!! your technique is like sunshine!! Thank you.

[@sahilprasad22]

laureen ..u are awesome...thank you...now i can code the most difficult ones easily....just keep on sharing your knowledge forever

[@CCO]

+Aneesh Prasad Glad it helped you! Let us know what other topics you'd like us to go over.

[@candyk7396]

Where can I get this worksheet? It's very helpful

[@savannahmodeen4636]

Do you have videos for specifically leveling history, medical decision making, etc.. In this video you said the specific “bean picking” of leveling those... haven’t a hard time finding any videos that do this!

[@CCO]

Here is a link to all our Leveling videos: kzbin.infosearch?query=level

[@savannahmodeen4636]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@imgrateful7142]

This has saved my sanity! Lost much sleep over this. Thank you! Up until now i had not figured this out though I read my CPT guidelines over and over. Why don't all courses explain it this simply? Go figure.

[@CCO]

+I'm Grateful Glad you liked it! Let us know if there are other topics you are struggling with and perhaps we can do a recording on that. --Laureen

[@evahking-successforall7856]

Which would be the correct E/M code for an office visit by an established patient with these key components EEM? I chose 99213 but I am still in doubt as the levels were 334. Please advise. Thanks much for this valuable video

[@sweetpeach3293]

That's a good question. Because when you drop the lowest which is 3, the next lowest is still 3. Since it's written twice. So my guess is you picked the right one 99213, but I can't say for sure.

[@bonb674]

Totally awesome and extremely helpful to me!!! Thank you so much!

[@jmariah6222]

Very helpful struggling with E/M

How does this work with initial and subsequent hospital care? When next too the bullet points it has detailed/comprehensive or straightforward/low complexity?

[@deannasmall2627]

thank you this helped

[@LittlePumpkin6]

Where do I get another copy of the E/M leveling exercise sheet?

[@PegLee63]

What do you do for a level such as 99218 that has straightforward and low MDM?

[@shawnkennedy-lee6248]

The closed captioning on this video does not match the video. Could you please update?

[@elizabethdodier7658]

Where can we find the leveling tool?

[@katefromct1969]

What a great video, where can I get this exercise sheet. It really helps.

[@snowpea10]

Thank YOU!!!!

[@kimberlymcpoyle]

where can i find the E/M on demand webinar that is talked about here....I don't see it on the codingcertification.org website. Thanks.

[@raghavendergujjari8258]

Office established patient EEH.. Which level.?

[@chippyphilip4458]

I do have one doubt.. Established patient.. Detailed hx, detailed exam, high mdm.. Which level..?

[@tracisusong6991]

Would love to see using medical records. Do you have those videos on audit records to ensure the correct e/m is selected

[@laureenjandroep]

Thanks +Traci SuSong ! We do that in our MCP - Medical Coding Practicum course and record the support calls for that. There may be a few on our channel here if you search. Email our helpdesk and they can give you some links.

[@tracisusong6991]

Cool, thanks. I will look through

[@theblogger3664]

Can plz teach Canada .Medical coding also....For us.
