HOW TO CODE BURNS.

[@TaylorandDarian]

I am preparing to take the CPC exam and all of your videos are what keep me motivated and increase my confidence. I would be very lost if it weren't for your teaching tools. Please keep making videos! I will be a lifetime subscriber. I love to learn from you!

Mr. Nguyen. I have been watching several different cosing videos for at least 4 years now. And I must conclude that I have finally tuned into the best CPC teaching I have ever heard! I love the way you are straight down to business and don't need extra distractions to host your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. It absolutely makes more sense to me now. I have horrible test anxiety and do not like to be timed. But after watching your videos, I belive I will pass this time. Thank you.

[@codingwithhoang]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to hear that my approach resonates with you and helps make the material clearer. Stay confident-you’ve already put in the hard work, and I truly believe you’ll pass this time. Best of luck on your CPC exam!

[@saemae1169]

I’m struggling a lot with burn coding. Most of my answers are wrong in the exercise on your website. I don’t know why. There seems to be many similar codes. Also some of the questions are not specific. For example in two of the questions it says back burn. But it doesn’t specify if it’s upper or lower back. In the index it specifies whether it’s upper or lower back. I didn’t know which one to choose. Also there are some very similar codes in the x category for exposure to smoke fire and flames. I end up choosing one that isn’t the correct code but similar to it. Can you make another lesson in-depth about burn cases?

[@chakahanbellamy-moore4305]

Good morning Hoang, how are you? On you coding work out about the burn place of occurrence. Is this a type for the Y92.838 instead of Y92.839. I really appreciate you taking the time out to share you techniques. Thank you, Chaka

[@codingwithhoang]

Hi Chakahan. It's my typo mistake because Y92.839 doesn't exit. It should be Y92.838 based on the description that I see in my video OTHER specified place. Here's my tips: 8 is for OTHER and 9 is for unspecified and also for all diagnosis codes as well. If it is unspecified place then you need to use Y92.9. Thank you.

Hello Mr Nguyen, Thank you so much for this video on burns. Very well explained. But I have a couple of questions regarding the external cause codes V - Y codes. First, its taking too long to find appropriate codes for the "How" and "Where" of the injury and second, if I pick a code based on my interpretation of the place the injury occured...will it be marked as a incorrect answer on the CPC test? Please let me know. Thank you

[@codingwithhoang]

Hi Amina. It's a multiple choice questions exam so the external cause codes are already listed in either A, B, C or D so all you have to do is to look them up in the index and find out which code matches the description in the report. You should tab your book (V00-Y99) for external cause so that you can turn to these pages faster. I hope it helps.

You are a talented teacher. Thank you for your videos! Can you please provide more information on how you look up external cause codes in the index?

Hi Georgina. External Causes has its own index. Open your ICD10-CM book and tab the first page. It's right after the table of drug and chemical. Here are a few key terms that you need to look under: Accident, Activity, Burn, Contact, Fall and Place of Occurrence. I hope it helps.

Thank you so much for this video. I'm currently taking a class, but it's too much to learn at once. I have taken this class twice, watching this video made me realize, that I didn't know how to code burns. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any videos on skin tags?

[@codingwithhoang]

Hi Sonia. Coding skin tags removal is very simply and straight forward. Regardless of where it is being removed or the method is being used, there are only two codes that you can use for this procedure: 11200 for removal of skin tag, up to 15 lesions and an add on code 11202 for each additional 10 lesions. Highlight these two codes for the skin tag removal procedure and you are all set. I hope it helps.

[@Sonia-Batista]

@@codingwithhoang Thank you so much, Would coding for 26 skin tags removals, do I code 11200, 11202, 11202 for that one skin tag left. if I code 26 skin tags this way: 11200,11202X2, will it be wrong because then I will be coding for 35 skin tags, instead of 26 skin tags?

How do you decide which external cause code to use? For example, why wouldn't I use V93.59: explosion on board unspecified watercraft?

[@codingwithhoang]

Well, tell me if you have two codes to choose from and they both are in the code ranges for external causes of morbidity (V00-Y99). The first code is V93.59 (explosion on board) which you suggest and W35.XXA (explosion of boiler) that I used and based on the report, it is documented as boiler exploded so which code you think would be the right choice?

Sure enjoying learning from these videos. Just a quick question: on some pages in your presentation, for example: the one for "SUNBURN", you have listed 1). Sunburn-Category L55 [with information listed underneath}, then it skips what I would think would be "2)", and goes on to 3)Sunburn due to other ultraviolet rays [with indented info under that]. Noticed same thing on slide regarding External Cause Codes--it has listed 1), 3), and 5)--but not 2) and 4). I hope I am making sense! I am just wondering why these are listed on some slide pages that way. Thank you for your time!

Hi Dianne, let me take a look and will get back to you on this. Thank you.

[@neferpitou8967]

Hi Sir Nguyen, I enjoy your videos very much as I am doing advanced learning and reading before my proper coding training in preparation for my exam. I just noticed that for the Coding workout for boiler explosion in steamship, I have a question for 17:14 W35 refers to boiler explosion not on watercraft (machinery), wont V93.59XA would be proper? and remove V93.09XA?

[@codingwithhoang]

V3.09XA is an explosion on board unspecified water craft VS W35.XXXA explosion and rupture of boiler. Remember these external cause codes are intended to provide data for injury research and evaluation of injury prevention and they have no effect on reimbursement so let's say there are 100 codes related to boiler explosion has been reported during this year then this useful data will be reported to boiler manufacture for quality control and inspection purposes. V93.09XA doesn't give us much information except explosion on board. I hope it helps.

[@bcsmedconsults29]

With regards to body area, if it is 57% of the trunk, but the trunk is only 36% of the body, wouldn't it be 57% of 36%? That means the total body area affected by the burns is 20.5%. Or if you are just coding the 3rd degree burns that would be 32% of 36% of the total body area, which is 11.5%. This would make a big difference if they are asking you total % of body with 3rd degree burns and change the code. Your example did not specify front or back of the trunk which makes it even less clear. Any examples of the types of questions they ask you on the test? Thanks!
