Thank you, I finally get it! Geez. I’m a math TARD so, I’m glad to know I can take a basic calculator.

nice

Hi, Victoria! This video in particular is one I come back to again and again. It doesn’t matter how good my notes are or what other resources I find, this is the BEST content out there for advancement flaps. You mentioned once that if we wanted you to put together something for a paid course of plastics, to post a comment. I’ve been assigned plastics as a new specialty to learn, so this is that comment. I follow you on LinkedIn as well, so if you do put something together, you can announce either way. Believe me, I’ll find it. But not in a creepy way. In a good, wholesome, I support my fellow coders kind of way.

Very helpful, thank you!!

Can you do a video on modifiers on how you know if a modifier is required please?

[@geldiaz777]

Great video. Thank u. Modifier 51 vs 59 pls. 😊🙏

[@ovsannagezalyan1035]

Explanation was excellent. I appreciate it.

[@PaigeHeikkila]

When you code skin rotation flaps do you also code the removal of the lesion, tumor, etc also.

[@brandonelnekaveh1894]

Do you code by location of defect or by location where tissue was transferred from? ie if you have a nasolabial flap to cover a nasal defect do you use 14040 or 14060

[@sparklzdiamondgirl7502]

This has helped so much. Thank you so much!! I have a plastics doctor who is getting denials even with medical records. It is frustrating. But he is NOT recording the sizes in the chart.

[@pameladavis3356]

Does Att ever include muscle?

[@ContempoCoding]

No, the muscle codes are different. The ATTR code are skin and subcutaneous tissue only.

[@andreahamilton5913]

Does any of these also relate to fasciocutaneous flap? They had a stage 4 sacral ulcer but I'm not seeing size or location

[@JustNel]

I was doing this chapter last night 😂 and the stsg was kicking my ass... I got the first CPT and icd10 codes but the second code i cannot for the life of me figure out 😫🤣

[@hilarybatzel7585]

What does secondary defect mean?

[@morganyoung3102]

I have a question specifically about code 15650, immediate transfer of any pedicle flap. Would this be coded in conjunction with the appropriate code for the location from 15570-15576, formation of direct or tubed pedicle? Or would the formation be included in the code for immediate transfer?

[@LauraJones-po8mz]

My providers will often code the ATT with operative procedures -like a tendon repair with a flap covering this. Is that correct?

[@natecurtis3159]

Hey there I'm an aspiring medical coder. I have everything ready I just need to sign the papers to start my courses. Is there any financial help to pay for it? The aapc isn't an accredited school for fasfa.

[@ContempoCoding]

There is no financial aid as, like you said, AAPC is not an accredited school and does not qualify for FAFSA. You would need to go through a college for that, and probably pay a lot more. The AAPC does have financing options available that they can assist you with.

[@Sonia-Batista]

Some employers pay for tuition depending on the company you for for.

[@natecurtis3159]

Awesome thank you. I started my terminology course and just passed my first module. I'm on my way now.

[@Sonia-Batista]

@@natecurtis3159 Good. Congratulations. I’m on the Integ section. It’s kind of hard but I’m getting it. 🌞

[@rozettaludwigsen2247]

Hi Victoria. I was wondering if you could expand a bit on Kode. Are they really a safe option for remote work? I see that they are registered out of India is why I am asking. They are requesting some pretty person information is another concern I have. Appreciate any additional info you can share. Thanks so much. Always enjoy watching your videos.

[@ContempoCoding]

Hi Rozetta! I wouldn't promote something that's not a safe option and that I haven't vetted. If you have specific questions, you can email them at [e-mail].

[@rozettaludwigsen2247]

@@ContempoCoding thanks that makes me feel better. I did reach out to them late last week but haven’t heard back yet. I really appreciate your promptness. Thanks so much. Rozetta

[@spongebob8445]

i always love and appreciate practice coding examples. lol though some parts when you got beyond the 80cm I was thinking "huh what is she doing now?" i don't do all of that" 😂 then i realized you were just kind of explaining another way to think about how the add-on code works.

[@laurenthompson8229]

This question is completely off topic, but webcam do you use? I need to find an external webcam that works with Zoom for my CPC exam, and I have no idea which one to buy.
