Hey Mr. Nguyen I have a second attempt exam on Saturday for cpc exam I failed at my first attempt with 53% and I’ve been studying ever since and then I happened to discover your videos and your videos has been helping me sooo much and I want to say thank you for all you are doing I am a big fan of your strategies now :)

Hi Mr. Nguyen, How are you? I just started viewing your videos. Thanks for all your hard work on teaching us Medical Coding. Question? What is the best way to prepare my books before I review and study, especially the CPT book? Thanks, Maritza
Big thanks to you n your great efforts Mr.Hoang...all vdos i followed were so helpful...i got CPC result today n i passed in 1st attempt with 90%...thanks a ton sir🙏
Hi Priya. Congratulations on passing the exam on your first attempt with an impressive score 90% Wow! You are the inspiration to the others and the ideal for the newer. Thank you so much for sharing this good news with me. Very well done! I wish you all the best.
Thanks sir, in question (6), 51728 is also with voiding pressure studies as well, my question is this, why do we choose 51729 instead of 51728? because in the question given, nothing like AND URETHRAL PRESSURE PROFILE STUDIES. Please, prof, I need more explanation on that
If you have two codes to choose for cystometrogram 51728 and 51729 and the physician documented it as a complex cystometrogram then which code you think would be appropriate to use assuming you already review the difference between these two codes? What is your thought process? A complex cystometrogram is combined with both voiding pressure studies and urethral pressure profile studies. If you are a coder, ask your doctor and see if I am right about "a complex cystometrogram". I hope it helps.
Thank you so much Hoang. Im glad you have RUclips Channel. I try to watch all now because I want take the exam before end this years. I dont know if next year they change again.
Hi Sandra. If you watch all of my videos, take note and follow my tips and strategies, then you should be ready for the exam this year, no need to wait until next year. You can dot it. Just create a daily learning schedule even just one hour a day and stick to it. I believe you will be ready for the exam in the Fall. Good luck with your study and thank you so much for your support.
Hello Sir, your vedeos is a great platform for beginners to learn medical coding more efficiently. Learning all the strategies are helping a lot to solve problems without any difficulties. Thank you so much for your great effort. I appreciate your hard work and dedication.
Hi Anne. CCS exam requires you to assign PCS procedure code for case study so you also need to watch my videos titled "root operation" that I posted 9 years ago. I wish you the best for your exam.
I don't know any other way to contact you, Mr. Hoang. Can you upload a video with tips on payment methodologies? The way you explain things in all your other videos has helped me very much. I am still struggling with payment methodologies and since there are 20 questions on the COC I would like you to explain them.. thank you in advance.. again you are helping me very much
Please make viedos on how to keep the codes in sequence and please tell about tips in the question. Sir and also help in important questions in anatomy physioloy compliance regulatory and coding guidelines.
Hi Hoang, thank you so much for providing this useful video. I'm confused the question #6 why the answer is 51729. why do you not choose 51728, which is also complex cystometrogram with voiding pressure studies?
Hi Hanh. If you have two codes to choose for cystometrogram 51728 and 51729 and the physician documented it as a complex cystometrogram then which code you think would be appropriate to use assuming you already review the difference between these two codes? What is your thought process? A complex cystometrogram is combined with both voiding pressure studies and urethral pressure profile studies. If you have a "coder desk reference" book then please look it up and it will tell you. I hope it helps.
Congratulations on passing the exam and thanks so much for sharing this good news with me. Don't stop learning because I am planning to bring everyone to the next level after passing the CPC exam. Thank you for your support.
At 11:30 minutes you state that the correct answer for a cystometrogram is 50590, however that is for cystectomy, complete, with ureterioleal conduit or sigmoid bladder, including intestine anastomosis. However for a "Complex cystometrogram with voiding pressure studies the answer I come up with is 51728-51. Which reads as "Complex cystometrogram (i.e., calibrated electronic equipment); indented code reads: with voiding pressure studies (i.e., bladder voiding pressure), any technique with the modifier of -51 which is to be used when multiple procedures are used (51725 - 51798). HELP!
To save time while making my PowerPoint slides, I used the same template and just change the text; however, I forgot to change 50590 from the previous slide to 51729 which I listed it with the key word "with voiding pressure studies" That said, the correct answer to this question is 51729. Now to answer your question, CPT has 51728 (for simple cystometrogram with voiding pressure studies) and 51729 (for complex cystometrogram with voiding pressure including urethral pressure profile, urethral closure pressure profile) so I don't know why you choose 51728-51. You need to recognize the difference between 51728 and 51729; otherwise, you can't use my strategies. I hope it helps.
Hello Sir Hoang! On Question number 8, why did you use the coding pathway - Fulguration, Cystourethroscopy with, Tumor=> 52402,52601,52630 and not Resection, Prostate Transurethral=>52601,52603. I just need your clarification😇.. Your teaching method is one of a kind, I'm learning a lot. Many thanks for your time and for sharing your knowledge to us..
Hi Juanito. In my CPT book, if I look under the mainterm resection, I don't see the subterm prostate but Prostate Transurethral and then it directs me to see Prostatectomy, Transurethal. Also, If I look under the mainterm resection, then Tumor, I don't see the prostate is listed and that's why I follow the pathway that I show in my video. Do you see the subterm Prostate under Resection?
@@codingwithhoang Yes sir Under Resection the only subterm I can see is Prostate Transurethral => 52601,52630 and mainterm Prostatectomy;Transurethral =>52601,52630. Thanks for the clarification..😊 Btw I have an upcoming CPC retake exam this coming weekend, I hope I can manage the time properly by using your method so I won't rush my answer..
Hi Inna. If you have two codes to choose for cystometrogram 51728 and 51729 and the physician documented it as a complex cystometrogram then which code you think would be appropriate to use assuming you already review the difference between these two codes? What is your thought process? A complex cystometrogram is combined with both voiding pressure studies and urethral pressure profile studies. If you have a "coder desk reference" book then please look it up and it will tell you. I hope it helps.
I am confused as well. The description never mentioned that they were also doing a urethral pressure profile study. That wasn't mentioned at all. I am confused why 51729 is used based on that logic. If complex always automatically uses both types of studies then when would we ever be able to use 51728? What would the question/report have to look like in order to use 51728? Since I am in training and have not yet taken my CPC yet, I wouldn't have a "coder desk reference book" as suggested. This is still conflicting to me.
I see several replies as to 51728 vs 51729. I still think the answer is 51728. The parent code of 51726 is complex cystometrogram and the indent 51728 is with voiding pressure studies. The 51728 code would read "Complex cystometrogram with voiding pressure studies, any technique." The question does not say anything about urethral pressure profile studies.
@@codingwithhoang My Coder's Desk Reference says "For voiding pressure studies performed in conjunction with a complex cystometrogram (51728), a transducer is placed into the bladder and the bladder is filled with fluid...." "Report 51729 if complex cystometrogram is combined with both voiding pressure studies and urethral pressure profile studies" I do have the 2020 version of coders desk reference so maybe thats why I am confused. Thank you for your help! Your videos have been invaluable to me. I am taking my CPC next week!
Based on the coder's desk reference, 51729 is a COMPLEX cystometrogram (ie, calibrated electronic equipment); with voiding pressure studies (ie, bladder voiding pressure) and urethral pressure profile studies (ie, urethral closure pressure profile). I hope it helps.
For question 6, I still don't get why the code is not 51728. This is an indented code and parent code is complex CMG. The case doesn't say there was urethral pressure profile studies done. I would think its 51728 because the case only reported complex CMG with voiding pressure studies... can someone explain lol
One question Mr. Nguyen, on question #6, (time 11:12) isn't the answer 51728? Code 51728 is an indented code that said "with voiding pressure studies" 51729 says "with voiding pressure studies (ie, bladder voiding pressure) and urethral pressure profile studies". I'm using CPT 2021 code book. thank you.
Question # 6: the correct answer to this question is 51729. It's my typo mistake because I use the same template from my previous slide and forget to change the code. If you listen carefully to what I said during each question, then you should know 51729 is the correct answer.
Thanks for your sharing ,could I have a question about coding ? I have confused about two ICD-10 questions, Could you help me to find out ？ 1.Cesarean delivery of stillborn at 38 weeks gestation owing to placental infarction O43.813, Z37.1, O36.4XX0,Z3A.38 2.Term pregnancy, 39 weeks, delivered, single stillborn left occiput anterior Terminal abruptio placentae Cord wrapped tightly around neck with compression- O45.93 ,O69.1XX0,O36.4XX0,Z37.1,Z3A.39 What confuses me with these two questions is that the two codes(O36.4XX0 & Z37.1) are the same but the positions are different.
Hi Dong. These are inpatient cases or records so the first code is the most important because it will determine the DRG. Z37.1 is the outcome of the delivery so you can list either before or after any code. As long as you have the principal diagnosis code listed first then you are good. I hope it helps.
I would like to know if Extracorporeal Shock Wave is the same as Extracorporeal sound wave? (Question 5). Also, in question 10, the question never mentioned the regrowth of obstructive prostate tissue (52630). As a new coder, what would make me think to choose this as the answer? Thank you for your time.
Hi Rena. Extracorporeal sound wave (50590) use high frequency sound waves and Extracorporeal Shock Wave (20890) use low frequency waves not sound waves. Next "repeat transurethral of prostate tissue 4 years after original procedure" means that this is the excision of residual or regrowth tissue of the prostate and not an initial excision of prostate mass. If you use the same code that you used 4 years ago for the initial procedure, then it will be denied. I hope it helps.
Definitely, you can. All you have to do is watch all of my videos, take note and follow my tips and strategies, then you should be ready for the exam. You have to believe in yourself and focus on your study then you should do well on the exam. Let's do it. I wish I was 39 :)
If you have two codes to choose for cystometrogram 51728 and 51729 and the physician documented it as a complex cystometrogram then which code you think would be appropriate to use assuming you already review the difference between these two codes?

If you have a "coder desk reference" book then please look it up and it will tell you. I hope it helps.
Hi Ayesha. Yes, definitely. Age is just a number. I have students who are older than you and they still are good coders. As long as you understand the learning material, have time to study then you should be fine. Good luck!
Question # 6: the correct answer to this question is 51729. It's my typo mistake because I use the same template from my previous slide and forget to change the code. If you listen carefully to what I said during each question, then you should know 51729 is the correct answer.
Hi JK. Please visit my website: codingwithhoang and you can sign up for me free course and have access to some quizzes. I don't answer the quizzes from other teachers, I hope you understand. Thank you for your support.

Hoang Nguyen 10 hours ago If you have two codes to choose for cystometrogram 51728 and 51729 and the physician documented it as a complex cystometrogram then which code you think would be appropriate to use assuming you already review the difference between these two codes?

The correct answer is again 51729. 50590 is my typo mistake from the previous slide for lithotripsy ESWL.

If you have the coder desk reference book, please look it up and then please come back here and share what you find with our viewers. Thank you.
@@codingwithhoang My Coder's Desk Reference says "For voiding pressure studies performed in conjunction with a complex cystometrogram (51728), a transducer is placed into the bladder and the bladder is filled with fluid...." "Report 51729 if complex cystometrogram is combined with both voiding pressure studies and urethral pressure profile studies"
I do have the 2020 version of coders desk reference so maybe thats why I am confused. Thank you for your help! Your videos have been invaluable to me. I am taking my CPC next week!
Nevermind about my question. I see you have been asked and answered several times in the comments. I apologize.
Hello Mr. Hoang, for ques # 6 why are we not using 51728? i know your answer is 51729. Please explain the rationale.
Based on the coder's desk reference, 51729 is a COMPLEX cystometrogram (ie, calibrated electronic equipment); with voiding pressure studies (ie, bladder voiding pressure) and urethral pressure profile studies (ie, urethral closure pressure profile). I hope it helps.
For question 6, I still don't get why the code is not 51728. This is an indented code and parent code is complex CMG. The case doesn't say there was urethral pressure profile studies done. I would think its 51728 because the case only reported complex CMG with voiding pressure studies... can someone explain lol
Please help me how can I get practice set for preparation of CPC exam..
One question Mr. Nguyen, on question #6, (time 11:12) isn't the answer 51728? Code 51728 is an indented code that said "with voiding pressure studies" 51729 says "with voiding pressure studies (ie, bladder voiding pressure) and urethral pressure profile studies". I'm using CPT 2021 code book. thank you.
Question # 6: the correct answer to this question is 51729. It's my typo mistake because I use the same template from my previous slide and forget to change the code. If you listen carefully to what I said during each question, then you should know 51729 is the correct answer.
Very helpful Sir😊😊
Thanks for your sharing ,could I have a question about coding ?
I have confused about two ICD-10 questions,
Could you help me to find out ？
1.Cesarean delivery of stillborn at 38 weeks gestation owing to placental infarction O43.813, Z37.1, O36.4XX0,Z3A.38
2.Term pregnancy, 39 weeks, delivered, single stillborn
left occiput anterior
Terminal abruptio placentae
Cord wrapped tightly around neck with compression-
O45.93 ,O69.1XX0,O36.4XX0,Z37.1,Z3A.39
What confuses me with these two questions is that the two codes(O36.4XX0 & Z37.1) are the same but the positions are different.
Hi Dong. These are inpatient cases or records so the first code is the most important because it will determine the DRG. Z37.1 is the outcome of the delivery so you can list either before or after any code. As long as you have the principal diagnosis code listed first then you are good. I hope it helps.
@@codingwithhoang hi, Hoang, thank you for your information, so helpful! so excited for replying to me! following you !!!
I would like to know if Extracorporeal Shock Wave is the same as Extracorporeal sound wave? (Question 5). Also, in question 10, the question never mentioned the regrowth of obstructive prostate tissue (52630). As a new coder, what would make me think to choose this as the answer? Thank you for your time.
Hi Rena. Extracorporeal sound wave (50590) use high frequency sound waves and Extracorporeal Shock Wave (20890) use low frequency waves not sound waves. Next "repeat transurethral of prostate tissue 4 years after original procedure" means that this is the excision of residual or regrowth tissue of the prostate and not an initial excision of prostate mass. If you use the same code that you used 4 years ago for the initial procedure, then it will be denied. I hope it helps.
Thank you 👍
I am 39, can I write cpc exam. After finishing exam is there possibility to get job. I already worked as a trainee coder in radiology.
Definitely, you can. All you have to do is watch all of my videos, take note and follow my tips and strategies, then you should be ready for the exam. You have to believe in yourself and focus on your study then you should do well on the exam. Let's do it. I wish I was 39 :)
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
I would love to get pdf file of practice exams for CPC exam. Is it possible sir?
Thank you❤️

Question no.6 answer is confusing..shown on screen is different
For Question 6 what makes 51729 more accurate than 51728?
If you have two codes to choose for cystometrogram 51728 and 51729 and the physician documented it as a complex cystometrogram then which code you think would be appropriate to use assuming you already review the difference between these two codes? What is your thought process? A complex cystometrogram is combined with both voiding pressure studies and urethral pressure profile studies. If you have a "coder desk reference" book then please look it up and it will tell you. I hope it helps.
Correct ans for Q6 is 51728 na?
Sir is coding course fine to do after age of 40
Hi Ayesha. Yes, definitely. Age is just a number. I have students who are older than you and they still are good coders. As long as you understand the learning material, have time to study then you should be fine. Good luck!
@@codingwithhoang thanks a ton sir ..I am following ur teaching tips...u r a great teacher..I appreciate ur efforts..

Thankyou
Question about #6 why can't the answer be 51728
Question # 6: the correct answer to this question is 51729. It's my typo mistake because I use the same template from my previous slide and forget to change the code. If you listen carefully to what I said during each question, then you should know 51729 is the correct answer.
I'm confused about question # 6 I thought the answer is 51726 and 51728.
If you review 51726 description, it doesn't include the voiding pressure. I hope it helps.
Thank you Sir Hoang.
Can u become coder at age of 40

If you have two codes to choose for cystometrogram 51728 and 51729 and the physician documented it as a complex cystometrogram then which code you think would be appropriate to use assuming you already review the difference between these two codes? What is your thought process? A complex cystometrogram is combined with both voiding pressure studies and urethral pressure profile studies. The correct answer is again 51729. 50590 is my typo mistake from the previous slide for lithotripsy ESWL.
