Poll

Interested in any of our new courses coming out?

How do I know the difference between a benign and

malignant lesion?

ANSWER

Back to Basics*

How to Level an E&M code*

Would it be possible to briefly go over your E&M leveling

tool? Where I work, the providers level the visits. I code

all diagnosis codes and add the appropriate modifiers. So

I'm really weak on being able to level E&M.

ANSWER

E/M for New Patient

For new patient physician visits, if the physician has not

performed the 3 key elements, can I bill the visit as a new

patient or can I use the time element?

ANSWER

Poll

Poll - What coding credential do you HAVE?

DVT Prophylaxis

I'm a medical coder for a hospital. The providers often

uses diagnosis code "DVT prophylaxis". I can't seem to

find this dx code. Please help.

ANSWER

ICD-10-CM Under-dosing

A additional coding option in ICD-10-CM your physician

needs to know about.

ANSWER

Ebola

How come I can’t find Ebola in my manual?

ANSWER

Poll

Poll - What region of the country are you from?

I was wondering if someone could give me a few tips on

how to figure out the wording when coding a surgical

procedure? I have the study guide but the questions that

they ask without the multiple answers is where I don't

know what to look for. I really appreciate any help you

may have. Thanks, Mary

depth training on that. -Kristen

Coding Manuals

I am just moving forward on starting to study for

my CPC. Should I buy the ICD 9 and CPT books

now or wait for new ones next year -Sheila

Which editor (Ingenix, AAPC...) and version

(expert, professional....) of ICD-9 has more tips for

HCC coding? -Florence

Bubble & Highlight

I'm not certified yet. I am working on a refresher

course for the CPC from the AAPC. I am also a

member of your program. Will completing your

program help me with the refresher course as well as

the exam? Do you mark-up the ICD-9CM as well as

the CPT? -Angelia

HCC

This is a HCC question: Can you code from the

dialysis visit or is it thought of like a INR/PT visit?"
