[@karinacrumbley1647]

Ty for all the tips, I passed my CCS test today 4/28/2023. God bless you ❤

[@codingwithhoang]

Hi Karina. Wow congratulations on passing the CCS exam which is much harder to pass compared to the CPC. You passed this difficult exam and that proves you have the ability and talent to become who you want to be. Wishing you all the best!

[@shauntelhall1511]

I will be taking my CPC exam in less than 20 days and I'm so grateful that I found your channel and your videos. Your techniques help save time and help me learn how to break the operative reports down so they are less overwhelming. Please continue to make these videos! :)

Thank you so much 🙏

Thankyou..

[@aidashitaye]

Thank you this is informative. I have to watch it again since I am new to medical coding.

[@sobowaleamos.8398]

Thank you so much Mr Hoang. your teaching is simplified for learning. hope this home work will be solve first in the coming video (PART 5)

[@codingwithhoang]

Sure, I will do that. Thanks so much for your support.

[@MrRamonm718]

thank you, doctor, thank you so much for your effort, I had learned so much from your experience, ready soon to take the first exam, since I already working in a hospital setting

[@sobowaleamos.8398]

So someone can supposedly working in hospital setting as a coder without having a coding certificate?

[@KolaVenkateshCPC]

Sir ... Can you please do some videos on inpatient coding

[@Phuongnguyen-yo6dd]

Thanks 🙏for all valuable videos! I am doing Practicode now to get some real life experiences! It’s hard Do you have any tips & strategies to extract Medical records to code variety cases efficiently & correctly from all areas ( eg. office, ER , Op report etc.) All of your videos are very practical & helpful!👍 👍👍

[@SenyettaDavis]

For operative report #8 for N40.1 why isn’t the additional code (N13.8) for the urinary obstruction coded

[@Veronica-fy2ek]

I have the same question

[@codingwithhoang]

N40.1 is assigned instead of N40.0 because of the urinary obstruction; however I will add N13.8 for urinary obstruction as a secondary diagnosis.

[@adriennegee6994]

@@codingwithhoang As there is an instructional note at N40.1 stating "use additional code for associated symptoms when specified", since it was specified I would add it. Your video are amazing, thank you!

[@rasheedibraheem5513]

Greetings Boss, been a while, how are you doing? I want to thank you for all your generosity and knowledge you have impacted to my life, I passed my exam last year, and to God be the glory have gotten a job as certified medical coder. Sir am planning to migrate to Uk, I realized that their coding systems is a little bit different from WHAT HAVE KNOWN. THEY are using icd-10 and. Opcs( operating procedure codes.) sir, I will be excited if you can do a video on OPCS that is recommended by NHS. Wait to hear from you soon .

[@codingwithhoang]

Good morning Rasheed. Congrats on your new job as a certified medical coder. No matter what classification they are using, the data they collect is still based on either the CPT or PCS for the procedure, ICD-10-CM, comorbidity, coding rules and guidelines for the diagnosis. You will be fine. If you are new to inpatient record then focus more on the PCS inpatient procedure codes. Good luck!

[@rahulrana-yh9mv]

Thx sir, I got a ccs certificate to watch your video.

[@Antidote_Poison_Official]

Sir please upload cpc mock test for2023.😊 It will be great help for us. Thank you.

[@SusanaSevilla-q3x]

Hello Hoang I will be taking the CPC in 2023 (this year). Are you able to post more videos related to the CPC exam for this year? Thanks!

[@Panpandy]

Hello sir, question in 15:23 Operative Report #8, we do not put the additional code for urinary obstruction anymore after N40.1?

[@urmom-xb5ev]

I was just getting ready to ask the same question. It should be N13.8

[@anaacosta7857]

I had put N13.8 too.

[@DominiqueCurry-EJC]

Why wouldnt we use K43.9 for ventral hernia for operative report #9?

[@TonyaeCWells]

💮

[@conniesmeal9643]

Hi Mr. Nguyen. Question...why do you code DX first then Procedures?? I thought we are to code Procedures first then DX codes.....

[@destineeridenour1012]

I have been waiting for you to upload another video! I do have a question. With Op Report 9. How was I supposed to know if the hernia was recurrent or initial? I tried reading through the report and was not able to get that code. Instead, I ended up with 49593 (initial hernia, 3cm to 10cm, reducible) :(. Correct me if I am wrong if the op report does not disclose whether it is initial or recurrent are we supposed to code initial?

[@codingwithhoang]

Yes, when a patient has no history of hernia and the op report does not indicate whether it is initial or recurrent then by default, it is considered an initial hernia. The postop diagnosis states "recurrent ventral hernia" so why you ended up with 49593 for an initial hernia? Also, when the old mesh was removed during this episode then it should give you a clue that a hernia repair has been done before. I hope it helps.

[@destineeridenour1012]

@@codingwithhoang Ahh, I completely missed the recurrent hernia preop. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I do have another question can you make a video about process and elimination? I am having difficulties with getting this 😅 Thank you

[@andromeda-xk4us]

Why can't I find the code 49615 on my 2022 CPT Coding Book? please help :((

[@subhashranglani1535]

in report 9 - can we code K43.9 - for ventral hernia without obstruction or gangrene ?

[@DominiqueCurry-EJC]

I have the same question
