CPC Chapter Review - Integumentary - Medical Coding Course Review and Practice Questions

Рет қаралды 62,564

Күн бұрын

Medical Coding review on the integumentary system. This would correlate with chapter 7 in the AAPC CPC curriculum. I cover the overview of CPT and ICD-10-CM codes, a smidge of skin anatomy, and then cover some of the more complicated or commonly-tested concepts.
* Note, officially the sequencing of the closure question should have the complex listed prior to the intermediate.
This is not a full course, but a review for students studying for the CPC or CCS-P.

we do not go into class for these courses. It is all online. There are no video lecture from the teachers. Just slide and read the book. So your video is helping our class. I wish you could give more extensive lessons on each chapter. To the class, it is like being in a classroom with a teacher lecturing. Which we do not have. Our college just started this program.

@phyllisjennings2386 Жыл бұрын

The teacher which are 2 are doing their best. One teacher just decided to move down to our state and come in on Thursday. This is a first time. But my guess is, she going to be overwelmned with students asking to see her on Thursday. She does have a discussion up if we have any questions. Honestly, it does not help that much if you do not have a lecture to ask questions about or if you are stumbling across the book very confuse about the rules.

In your opinion, do you think that will be enough to pass my cert? or should I also invest in whats offered on AAPC. I'm just wondering how much Ive truely missed over the last 2 years ....

@ContempoCoding 4 ай бұрын

In medical coding, the HCPCS book is utilized alongside the CPT and ICD-10 codes for a comprehensive approach to documenting healthcare services, diagnoses, and procedures. While CPT codes describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and ICD-10 codes categorize diseases and health conditions, HCPCS Level II codes are specifically employed for billing items and services not covered by CPT codes, such as durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and non-physician services. For the CPC exam there are 3 questions of the 100 that pertain to HCPCS.

There is a method to the madness yes, as illustrated by this graphic: blog.practo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Anatomy-of-an-ICD-10-code.png But there's no need to memorize codes. You'll always have access to the books, even for testing.

@ContempoCoding 2 жыл бұрын

You are still permitted to use the 2021 book but may be at a disadvantage due to code changes. The exam will be based on 2022 codes starting January 1. I would direct you to the guidance provided by the AAPC: www.aapc.com/certification/faq.aspx " What year's books should I use? Since the code sets for each coding book are updated every year, it’s essential for coders to have the current year’s books/manuals to ensure accurate performance. Reporting wrong codes can lead to denied claim submissions and substantial penalization. It’s clearly very important to get an education on the annual code set updates and to obtain new code books every year. All AAPC exams are based on the current calendar year’s code sets, so we strongly suggest you use the current year’s books. The previous calendar year’s books may be used on an exam, but you would be at obvious disadvantage doing so. The upcoming year’s books are not allowed for exam use. The exams are updated every January for the new code sets. Examinees using their second attempt in the next calendar year will not be permitted to take the previous year's exam. Note: Please make sure you are now using ICD-10 CM or ICD-10 PCS when needed."

The definition of 15100 states, "This excision and placement is for the first 100 cm2 or less OR one percent of the body area of an infant or child." So for adults we go be square cm, for peds it's the percentage. This is not a peds-only code.
