hi During CPC examination for Case study questions is it possible to do The marking in their computer

[@numanhussain9460]

like this

[@Holsen1200]

If possible I think you should do this case study again using the 2024 books, there have been a lot of changes

[@probhaiya69]

I am a medical coder with cpc certified.your video is awesome

[@kelarlpol571]

Shouldn’t the CPT code have had modifier LT on it?

[@adrianstevens656]

Thank you, Victoria, for this awesome guidance on the facture case study! I am still learning and need the guidance you offer.

[@ContempoCoding]

Glad it was helpful!

[@yuliaskipper9016]

Hello Victoria, It would be fantastic if you could do a 2022 split/shared changes presentation. Thank you so much.

[@ContempoCoding]

Noted!

[@DheerajSingh-jf8ce]

That's great to see your newly video, you are awesome. I am learning coding and your videos helps alot. Thank you

[@ContempoCoding]

Glad you like them!

[@guryach1338]

Hi. I found this video. I m just about to start the course on coding. Got my books through the trainer. They are not original but copy of original. But I'm so nervous as to how I am going to memorize all the codes. They are so many numbers with multiple diagnosis

[@lorenaperu]

Do you have any case studies for office visit level for patients that have chronic stable issues and med refills?

[@lindameggers1999]

I like how you highlighted your ICD_10 😃

[@tamaradenise3]

Hey Victoria Does your CRC course reflect ALL Of the ICD-10 updates for 2022?

[@ContempoCoding]

No, it will not reflect all the changes for 2022 -- only the ones that impact the CRC curriculum material. It does not cover the 2021 to 2022 specific changes, but I have videos that cover that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ_SopiihruJj6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXuuao2Di7eogKc

[@adrianstevens656]

Hi, Victoria, any case studies you might have regarding breast augmentation (enlargement and/or reduction) would be appreciated.

[@ContempoCoding]

I don't have anything available right now, but I can see if I can tap on the shoulder of some of my plastic doc friends.

[@bakerinthehouse5346]

Victoria, I am having a hard time with coding complications of IF and surgical coding in general. I'm a student and don't have the greatest recall. Do you have any advice about this? Anything would be so helpful!

[@rainanieves9335]

Hello Victoria. What if the scenario was a bit different: and the patient didn’t go to the ED but went to his orthopedic dr office. Where it was noted that the patient had the need for this surgery but also had broken metacarpals? Can the dr bill e/m with mod 57 for the metacarpal and then also bill for the surgery a few days later or would both of these fractures be bundled and billed during the surgery?

[@monk3y47]

Yes, the patient presented to the office with a new problem, did they take X-rays of the hand? If so you can bill this E/M as the decision for surgery (Mod 57) because the doctor spent time in diagnosing and finding medical necessity in order to plan the surgery. My boss usually does a 99213 or 99214 if it’s an established patient or a 99203 or 99204 if it’s a new patient. When the date of the surgery comes, just code for the surgery

[@stephaniedepriest2613]

Do you like find a code or codify better? Which one would you recommend?

[@ContempoCoding]

I prefer Find-A-Code, it has nicer features and is has a simpler style.

[@stephaniedepriest2613]

@@ContempoCoding thank you for the recommendation! You’re videos and course helped me pass my CPC test!

[@maurafenlon8071]

This was great! Can you recommend a good workbook to learn more about abstracting op reports? TY

[@musicbill]

What version of Find a code do you have? I am in school now for coding. Any advice you could give me?

[@LisaLemonds]

Are we allowed to use find a code during the test certification?

[@klssimpson3933]

Hi, which subscription would you recommend on find a code? So many to choose from and I don't know where to begin with your coupon code.

Awesome Victoria.

[@latissascott7509]

Do you have case studies for 2024?

[@krabear2079]

Hey Victoria, can you recommend me a good medical terminology book?

[@ContempoCoding]

Yes! There's one in the video description - Medical Terminology & Anatomy for Coding - amzn.to/3njDlx7

[@shalehajaffar2335]

Hi Victoria, ur videos r just awesome I used to follow. I had a question could you recommend me any other website other than find a code, and also any free websites too. Thanks in advance

[@ContempoCoding]

Because CPT has heavy licensing fees there are no free options for CPT data. You can, however, get free information from icd10data.com for ICD-10-CM information.

Do you have a COC course?

[@ContempoCoding]

Not currently -- but it's on the radar with no ETA.

[@sandycooley9438]

I am certified in billing and coding. Is it worthwhile to pursue my associate degree in billing and coding or should I just take aapc courses?

[@ContempoCoding]

I would just go with going through the AAPC and taking their courses to get certified. Even with an associates, they will want you to have your medical coding credential -- CPC, for example.

[@sandycooley9438]

You rock! Thank you!

[@carisdulce3]

Anyone in the state of Georgia recommend a school for this ? Bc every good paying jobs posted on indeed so far require experience and being certified.

[@LemonLimes99]

Its mostly a dead end job.

Thank you! Cheers!

[@tammyheltsley9203]

First, I want to say your videos are great and you explain everything very well. My question is, why didn't you use a modifier for the CPT code to show that it was the left arm?

[@ContempoCoding]

Forgot. 🤷‍♀️

[@tammyheltsley9203]

@@ContempoCoding OH Thanks. I was not sure as I am still learning this process.

You don't memorize them.
