... this is really informational.. I really like your videos..!! I have been looking at all of your videos and I have a greater understanding of coding Icd 10 cm/pcs/cpt, and e/m stuff. I used to code I-9, but now like to learn Icd 10 on my own pace... thanks again Claire..
Please cover more about how to code from op reports (especially spinal fusion). The op reports sometimes can be wordy and hard to abstract. Can you provide some tips to differentiate between devices or modifiers too? I know it is a large topic, so maybe you can do a series of case studies or icd10 pcs. Thank you.
Thanks for the suggestion! I have done a few PCS case studies, and it has definitely been on my radar to do some more. In case you have not seen them, here are links to the ones that I have done. ruclips.net/video/KTkACwZvgg4/видео.htmlsi=-SR5R_rw6e2kjE7u
Thank you! My expertise is in inpatient coding, I have never done SNF coding, but I think you would code as history of since the patient is no longer receiving acute care.
Would you please consider covering dementia coding? If a patient has a dx of dementia and a dx of depression, are we to assume they are linked and code F03.93? Thank you.
Sure, I can add that to me list. I would not recommend presuming a link between dementia and depression because there is no entry for the specific term "depression" linked to dementia by the word "with". Instead there is a category for mood disturbance (F03.93). This is where you will code dementia with depression IF the physician has linked the conditions but you can not presume the relationship. This is different than anxiety and agitation which you CAN assume a link because each of those specific terms are linked to dementia by the word "with".
Did the physician document sepsis? Bacteremia is not the same thing as sepsis so if the physician only documented bacteremia, do not code sepsis. If the physician DID document sepsis with MRSA bacteremia then you would just code the sepsis, and you would code it to the bacteremia organism. So a diagnosis of sepsis with MRSA bacteremia would just be coded as A41.02 Sepsis due to Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Only the one code is needed to completely capture the diagnosis.
your videos are very educational
Thank you! 😊
Hi mam this video really solve my problem of coding cardiac arrest, thank u
That is great, I am happy to hear that! 😊

Thank you for the video and your hair looks nice.
You're welcome, and thank you! 😊
I was coming to say the same thing🤣 I love the waves 😍
Thank you! 😊

Great info. Thank you! How should the cardiac arrest be coded after patient is transferred to a Skilled Nursing Facility for rehab?

I encountered a question on how should we code MRSA bacteremia. Do we code for Sepsis and a code from a specific causative organism?
Did the physician document sepsis? Bacteremia is not the same thing as sepsis so if the physician only documented bacteremia, do not code sepsis. If the physician DID document sepsis with MRSA bacteremia then you would just code the sepsis, and you would code it to the bacteremia organism.

Mam can u please explain the CABG pcs how to code ,
Sure, I can add that to my list. Thanks! 😊
