LOOK UP 2021 CPT CODES | CPC EXAM TIPS FOR NAVIGATING THE RIGHT CODES

[@kedabooth3843]

Wow this is what I needed because feeling so lost not knowing what key terms to look for

[@suzgtz7818]

I agree, I feel super lost

[@nadeempattan2758]

Total 5 VACCINES are administrated we took 1 component from each of vaccine is totally (1+1+1+1+1=5) 90460×5 And reming we are left with *2 components from Dtap* and *2 components from (MMR) hence that 2+2 =4 is added to the 90461x4 which is making sense

[@ShamyraC]

Thank you Nadeem! I think I got it now! 😉

[@Jeeplady]

thank u.

[@ernestoromero3816]

Thanks that made sense now 😊

[@pacitataylor1079]

Got it

[@pacitataylor1079]

With 8 components altogether I would pick C. I agree with you about 90460 being the first and the rest is the other 8 for 90461

[@xochitlmurillo2470]

You make it look so easy, I love your videos!

[@highdefinition3780]

You would be a great instructor! Thank you! Just finished a medical billing certificate program, sitting down for my exam through AHIMA at the end of the month. Your videos have been extremely helpful.

[@user-bv5oo4mt7e]

You are really helping me get closer to where I want to be. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!☺

[@Sweet_lady1992]

You make it look so easy!

[@kaygreen134]

Keep these videos coming. Love them

[@ShamyraC]

Thank you!

[@Jeeplady]

thank you , Shamyra for showing this.

[@harinibala5396]

You're coding skill is amazing. Thanks for the lesson 🤩😊

[@ShamyraC]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ernestoromero3816]

Thank you for your explanations, I am currently in my medical coding program and I am reaching my midterms for my CPT class and I have been struggling in my confusion on how to understand CPT especially those med terms! 😮 have a blessed day and I hope you keep making more CPT and ICD-10-CM Videos which are really helpful.😊

[@user-wi8eg9tu2v]

The 90460 codes for vaccine w/ counseling code states for the first component of EACH vaccine administered, so it is correct

[@user-bv5oo4mt7e]

I am going to take the CCS as soon as possible and would like to know more about sequencing please

[@pacitataylor1079]

90460 says first for each component, 2 vaccines has 3 components. There are 9 components altogether, take away one for each vaccine which 5 and you have 4 components left

[@msmith5489]

I really like these!

[@ShamyraC]

I really like doing them when I can find the time. 😆 Lately, I’ve been super busy but now that I’m feeling a lot better I plan to record more this weekend!

[@jennydeplancke6844]

Hi Shamyra! Can you do some CT surgeries, like valve replacements and also hernia repairs?

[@ShamyraC]

Hi Jenny. I don’t have operative notes for those specialties unfortunately.

[@delishawilliams6857]

Great videos..I would love a video on how you tab you book....to find things easier..

[@ShamyraC]

Thank you! Currently me book is tabbed for OBGYN. I’ll tab procedures that I code repeatedly and diagnosis codes I use on the regular. If I’m going to a particular section multiple times a day then I’ll tab that section, so I can get to it quicker. For the CPC exam I would use the tabs that AMA gives you for each section of CPT. For the ICD-10 book I would tab the guidelines section, Alphabetic Index, and each letter of the alphabet in the tabular list. For HCPCS book I think this already comes pre-tabbed.

[@delishawilliams6857]

@@ShamyraC thank you so much

[@syedahaque2508]

For the question with the 23 year old end stance renal disease. Is it possible for the code with be 90960 or 90961, because 90952 is for patients younger than 2 years of age.

[@mercrn1995]

thank you This is a great help :)

[@ShamyraC]

You're welcome!

[@courtneygreen995]

That was a hard question lol

[@ShamyraC]

Girl…. tell me about it! I still don’t want to go back and figure it out! Lol

[@amandawieder563]

How do I know what section to go to after looking up the main term?

[@brendawhiteside3785]

THUMBS UP

[@kaybae2420]

Any tips on neck soreness after coding for a little bit? The next day my neck is always a little bit stiff

[@ShamyraC]

It could be your chair or the height of your desk that is causing your neck to hurt. Or it could be your posture. It’s hard remembering to get up and stretch when sitting for long periods of time. Try searching for neck stretches/excerises for office job and see if it helps. 😊

[@rasaleem2032]

They coded 60460 4x because each vaccine has a different side effect that has to be counseled on seperately.

[@ShamyraC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@amstraders2989]

Hello, do you know how to get CPT code for exotic language for in person standard? Could you please kindly help me out with the code? Thanks

[@FloraNovax3]

Are we allowed to have those page markers/labels in our book when taking the exam?

[@Djones1094]

So I’m my coding class I have a problem when it comes to having 3 codes for a scenario. I can normally get 2 but the third one is difficult for me.

[@ShamyraC]

Hi Destiny! Are you saying that you come up with 2 codes but somehow you miss another cpt code? If so, Id pay close attention to the documentation and make sure you pull out each service that is being performed. Research or look up the procedure or service(s) that are being performed so you know what all it entails. That way you’ll know if another code is needed. Make sure to pay attention to parenthetical notes and guidelines sometimes you may need an add-on code.

[@Imjusthereleavemealone]

For the test? How do you know which book to use?

[@ShamyraC]

When you purchase your exam it will tell you the books recommended for the exam you selected. You don’t even have to purchase the exam to find out. You can just look up the exam and find information on the recommended books.

[@techPlusHealth]

Hlw mam i from India ... please how can crack the exam CPC

[@harinibala5396]

I need to know how many departments are there for medical coding??

[@ShamyraC]

When you say departments I think you mean specialties.. There are a bunch of different specialities to choose from! I’d go over to AAPC website and find specialty coding exams. There you will find all that are available currently. 🙂

[@vanessagonzalez5834]

I am getting ready to take the COBGC exam...any suggestions 😁

[@ShamyraC]

Yay!!! Watch youtube videos on laparoscopic procedures that way when you’re reading the OP notes you’re famliar with how the procedures are performed. - Laparscopic Vaginal hysterectomies (TLH) - Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomies (LAVH) - Abdominal vs Vaginal Hysterectomies - TVT Abrevo for Stress Urinary Incontinence - Vaginal Repairs (Anterior and Posterior) - Paravaginal Defect Repairs - Vaginal Suspensions (Colpopexy) Look up these procedures and watch and listen to what they say! Some of the videos might be hard to understand because of language barrier but I watched those type of videos pretty much daily! Good luck! 🤍
