Hello, I am a former RN and I worked in surgery and I believe the humeral replacement explanation at 22:00 is incorrect which would make the correct code 23616 and not 615. The prosthetic replacement is replacing the original humeral bone and not a previous implant. Just like when a knee replacement is done, it is to replace the diseased knee joint. When they replace a previous implant it is called a revision such as code: 23473
For the example with the 55 year old smoker, I used knowledge of the guidelines about signs and symptoms to eliminate a automatically be cause we have a diagnosis and you don’t code for those when DX is confirmed. I know the DX so that automatically eliminates C as well. To quickly decide between b and d I used the knowledge of conventions that a 4th character of 9 is usually pertaining to unspecified and a 1 or 2 as 5th character is usually going to indicate laterality, a 0 is usually unspecified laterality. That lead to the quick elimination of b. So I kind of worked backwards from the ICD codes to rule out quickly before looking at the CPT codes. I shocked myself cause this was the first time that all made sense to me so quickly. This is fun now that I’m grasping the coding concepts. I was able to think it through and not even touch my book til the end to make sure C34.11 was the neoplasm/etiology/laterality I needed to code the neoplasm to the highest specificity.
So happy I found your videos, easy understandable breakdown and uplifting energy. Greatly appreciate you sharing your videos. New subscriber here. Thank you.
You can refer them to the course at www.amcicoding.com/courses We also hold monthly "Mid Month Mocks" which are webinar based timed exams with AMCI instructor's personal assessment, and test recommendations.
For the trans bronchial biopsy question, since the lung has 3 lobes, if we did 1 biopsy from 1 lobe of RT lung and 2 biopsies on lobe 1 of LT lung and 1 biopsy of lobe 2 on LT lung, would we then report 31632 twice since we are taking biopsies of 2 additional lobes? The language of the code is confusing me when it says ‘each additional lobe’. Does that mean cumulatively or do you use it for every additional lobe after 1 that’s biopsied?

Hey T, So glad we could help. Thanks for subscribing!
Awesome motivational medical coding training! Love your enthusiasm.
Thank you so much
Thank so much... I've learned a lot... God bless...🙏🏻
Thanks for letting us know that our lectures are helpful 🙂
Awesome session! Thank you for sharing this. I'm very much taking away with a better understanding of coding.
with the question of a 55yr old smoker 2nd to the last list of questions if we use the 2022 CPT code book this question will be coded differently.
Yes. It should be 32408-RT.
@@leepakshi1 thanks for the reply , I am too bad with regulatory what can you suggest that I need to study for it??? Please need help!!😞

The book were using is from 2020-2021
Awesome
Thanks!
note: 34.30
in question implant is placed... 23616 is prosthetic replacement... so eliminate option c
23616 internal fixation ( implant placed )
Last question 1.44 : patient returns now... so secondary eliminate primary
32405 is a deleted code
This is from 2020 or 2021. The description says re-released so these are not new, but I hope you've found the instruction useful.
