Part 2 of the 2024 ICD-10-CM Official Coding Guidelines

[@leenersby41]

I am currently an online student at a community college and this portion of my education we are studying these guidelines. I have been an A student in my previous 6 classes and I failed one of my assignments and was in tears and frustration, knowing that I had studied all information available to me through my course. I needed outside help. Your videos came up under a search, and I have to say thank you so much. You make this jumble of words, that are confusing to new coders, make sense when you see them applied to what I am trying to learn. Its the application to action that has helped me not want to give up, so thank you again. I am glad you are out there helping us who are trying to learn but have limited resources through online ed. You are appreciated for your work, thanks.

I just finished watching your 1st guidelines video. I thank you for doing this. I have watched MANY different videos of other people. Yours is the only one that I have seen go in depth of the guidelines. I really appreciate your videos! I took my CPC test in Dec. 2023 and did horrible on guidelines. I missed it by 14pts. So here's to learning more so I can pass my next attempt! I will definitely be watching all you have created!!! :))

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you for your support.

[@KrystalToribio]

I am taking my CPC again for the 5th time and guidelines was my weakest area this has been helpful fingers crossed I can pass this exam and get it over with

[@codemastercoach6636]

Just make sure to put in the necessary time to study and KNOW these guidelines and you will be fine.

[@SophiePraise]

Please how can I reach this man I’m really in need of his help🤲

[@SophiePraise]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am taking my next week and I'm SO nervous Lol.

[@trellearly4899]

Good luck, I’m in the same situation I’m rooting for u

[@alexandreaturcot8921]

You got this!❤❤

[@timplagainos6682]

Thank you for this, greatly. I'm currently watching the series, and the idea of just reading the guidelines makes my eyes cross and discover all kinds of other activities, like toenail clipping. Your delivery is engaging, your voice well-suited, examples are prescient and not belabored, and the breakdown into different videos is perfect. Thank you for this and all you do.

[@aliciax7905]

This video was a breath of fresh air! I am a certified coder who has been struggling! Thanks to your channel, I finally understand it a bit more. 😊 I'll definitely have to watch the other videos.

[@sherrygordon3102]

Alicia, any advice on taking the exam?

[@aliciax7905]

@sherrygordon3102 It's all about knowing where to look. If you are quick and know exactly where to find the codes, you will do well as this will help cut down on time that is spent randomly flipping pages. Good luck! 😊

[@CrystalGarvin-q9c]

It really helps me as well first time knowing the icd codes very interesting 😊

[@rondastephenson3235]

Thank you, you are breaking this down to pure clarity! You are wonderful!!!

[@8leelee]

You are heaven sent. I just began my first class of coding for HIT. You explain everything so beautifully in your videos. I’m looking forward to more. God bless!

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you @leahpmb69.

[@renee2105]

studying for an assessment test/exam for a new job tomorrow...these are so helpful!

[@codemastercoach6636]

Glad I can help @renee2105.

[@kemberlygilbreath6949]

You are an absolute angel!!! Thank you so much for all you do and taking the time to explain things in terms we understand! I take my CPC cert exam March 15th and you have helped so much!!

[@shailabrown9014]

I'm self studying and your videos are helping me tremendously, you are a blessing...thanks for your expertise.

[@Maria_Maria_San]

Thank you for the video. I am a coder in Australia and we use ICD-10-AM with Australian Coding Standards (ACS) as our guidelines. My family will be relocating to America in 1-2 years time so I am researching how to be a coder in USA. I am planning to take CCA or CCS. Your channel is very informative. I can see many differences on how we code here vs how coding is done there.

[@heatherbradley3783]

Thank you so much for taking your time to teach all of us. Your explanation of the guidelines is helping me out so much. I cannot tell you how helpful it is to have your examples. They stick in my head. 🤗I appreciate you Coach! :)

[@BSX3Y]

I love your videos, they helpa lot lot because I am in school. Going forward pls make your live window smaller as I couldn't see what you were talking about when you were instructing because they window was blocking it. I hope to see more of you, I truly appreciate you being here

[@rockerchic1968]

You are amazing!!! Thank you!!!

[@Tiffany-tct]

Thank you so much for these guidelines

[@erika8627]

Coach, would you consider doing a quick video on the new G2211 code? The guidelines are so confusing for primary care. It seems like Medicare basically said "yes, go ahead and use this." But then aren't clear on what qualifies. HELP! Or is there a resource you recommend? TY!

[@jessicaduran223]

is there a way to get your notes.?? just wondering

[@angelalackey3434]

I love these! Thank you so much for doing this!!

[@codemastercoach6636]

You're welcome @angelalackey3434.

[@lagregriahardimon7710]

Thank you, I'm searching for a job and graduated in 2022 and I have been studying to prepare myself for a job.

[@jenniferbickel1671]

I’m currently in the process of getting my CPC. Your videos have helped so much with my understanding of the guidelines. Do you have PDFs of your notes that I could access?! Thank you!

[@victoriagosey9926]

Thank you this was very helpful to me

[@codemastercoach6636]

You are so welcome.

[@sharmainepassaro]

GM Coach! I am new to your subcription, videos and loving them. I do have a question. I was watching your video yesterday Chapter 15. We did not finish it. It was left off with Section B: Selection of OB Principal or First-Listed Diagnosis on the next video. However, I am unable to find the video of where you left off. Please help! Thank you.

[@mandylau2221]

any practice questions available for students to work on?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Excellent idea! Will add to next videos.

[@himinfluencers]

great question was going to ask the same question as this would be helpful

[@kaylynnoldbear9822]

Is there a link for your notes??? !!

[@Champs.FightClub]

Do you offer tutoring?

[@Th_srya]

Thank you for this ❤️ you are great

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you so much @Th_soya.

[@brendawhiteside3785]

thumbs up good information

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you @Brendawhiteside3785.

[@ceeramirez4630]

Would you advise going to a trade school for the med coding and billing certification OR going to community college for the associates degree for med coding and billing??

[@codemastercoach6636]

My advice if you want to learn Medical Coding is to attend a Medical Coding trade school that teaches Medical Coding. The degree is great, but Medical Coding only requires a "Certificate". If you are looking for a good Medical Coding Program, email me at [e-mail] and I will share my program with you.

[@erika8627]

I wish I took Codemaster Coach's class. Unfortunately, it wasn't out when I went to my local community college. I don't feel the courses there fully prepared me. Yes, I passed my CPC and CRC. But I still don't feel confident in my coding.

[@carolynbm]

Love this thank you so much ❤

[@codemastercoach6636]

You're welcome.

[@himinfluencers]

Thank you so much this is helpful

[@codemastercoach6636]

You're welcome.

[@cherylconte872]

How did you get the Icd10 book in Microsoft Word?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Copy/Paste is how I did it.

[@cherylconte872]

The whole book😳

[@thebutterflymother]

can we write these tips in our books to have when studying

[@codemastercoach6636]

Yes, you can. Writing in your books is permissible as long as it is not excessive.

[@valeyasher1642]

and again ty

[@shaharekanchan]

Superb

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you.

[@masayusamlo892]

To bad we could not see well the note in this video. They are all in small and your picture is on top

[@codemastercoach6636]

That is why I give the link for you to download your own guidelines.

[@yuliw7697]

❤

[@codemastercoach6636]

Thank you @yullw7697.

[@hot-stuff24]

I needed this because I can read all of this but I need to understand what i’m reading. ty!

[@codemastercoach6636]

You are so welcome @TRmin-py9rb. Understanding these guidelines are the key!

[@mrspress8057]

For the people in the comments saying they failed the guidelines section of the exam, or the guidelines section caused them to fail the exam, can you explain why? I haven’t taken the exam yet, so I’m not understanding how that is possible when the guidelines are in the book? Is it the parts of the guidelines that are written like gobbledegook, or what?

[@yazminsandoval]

@codemastercaoch cant wait!

[@stephanieconlow6421]

This is wonderful thank you for everything

[@codemastercoach6636]
