OMGOODNESS!! I struggled with understanding E&M coding!!! But you have made it easier for me to grasp the concept of now! Thank you so much! And thank you for taking time out to do these videos!
Hi Coach! I just have to tell you how big of a godsend your channel has been to me and my classmate! We are in our last semester for our Health Information Management associate's degrees. This semester is completely online and while we have had two semesters of in-classroom lessons on ICD-10-CM and PCS, we have not had any prior teaching on how to assign CPT codes. This semester has just begun and we have an online CPT course with a somewhat advanced coding textbook for the course. Not having been introduced to CPT prior, we decided to go online today and look up some intro to CPT videos. Yours was the first channel we chose to check out and we are so thankful we did! You do an excellent job explaining CPT and we are much less intimidated now. We will be subscribing to your channel, and we look forward to learning more from you. :) Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos!
CodeMaster Coach CodeMaster Coach Dear coach! I am learning right now cpt E&M...it would be fantastic if I could get your notes and the magic tool 😜 I had sent you and email with the same inquiry over a week ago, i understand you are busy, that is why I am messaging you here. My email alexweinhold@gmail.com In advance...thank you!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this sooo much!! I am currently enrolled in a medical billing and coding program and was so confused on how they were teaching me E/M codes. They were making it way more complicated than it needed to be. They gave us about 10 pages to fill out before we could code each visit. I was getting frustrated with it. You explained it perfectly and now I get it! Thank you for teaching us 💗
Answer every question, even if you have to just fill in an answer because you fun out of time and use your code book for the medical terminology portion if you don't know the term. Also, pace yourself. The 5 hours will go by so fast. If you don't know the answer, skip and return later.
I am a very beginner and I would LOVE a video that just talked about what a typical day is like as a medical coder. Is there very much human interaction, typical salary hours, job prospects etc
Working on that for my other channel, MedicalCoderLife, now. I try to devote this channel, CodeMasterCoach, to teaching coding. But, excellent idea and I will definitely do that.
@@codemastercoach6636 Agree, to what Kathryn K, had mentioned. New student, done with my B&C certification class this year 10/27/18. It would be nice to see scenarios, simply to have a picture in your mind. Thank you Ms. Coach Master Coach!!
So my issue for E/M codes is that I get a practice test question that says patient had comprehensive exam detailed history, and moderate decision making (for example) .Some times this matches multiple answers, hoW do I pick the right one when it can go with anything?
Please help, Trying to level the H.E.M using a e/m worksheet; 1st you have the History ( HPI, ROS, PFSH); say you have a level 2 HPI, Level 3 for ROS and Level 4 PFSH, now to get the History Type, do you use the 3 of 3 for a new PT and 2 of 3 for established PT.? With the examination is it just depending on body systems ? And with the MDM, is the rule also the 3 of 3 for new and 2 of 3 for established or is the MDM always 2 out of 3 components ? Thank you very much in advance.
MultiGreenfields, the History is determined by what content is included. Does the history include Past, Family, and Social History? You are correct, the examination depends on the body system involved. The MDM is based on the criteria, amount of data to be viewed, # of diagnosis, and risk of mortality/morbidity. I do have a video on my channel about each.
I study coding now and I’m really having problem understanding the E/M part and how to get the MDM. Also I don’t understand what happens if we don’t get 3/3 for new patient? Or if we get 3 answers in 3 different spots …. Fore example : detailed history, problem focused exam and high mdm? I’m very confused by this
Hi, I've been watching your coaching videos and it's helped me a lot to understand more about medical coding. Thank you for sharing all these videos. What's next after the CPT E&M videos? I can't find other CPT videos.
Good question. The sites that you test at handle books differently. When I went, they shook my books and looked inside to see if I had papers attached. So, I recommend writing on pages that have space rather than attaching anything. The guidelines state no attaching documents but you can have writing.
Thank you Dreia. The DOC Form can be found in a Lesson Plan that I share in a video here on my TH-cam channel called, "Links To Lesson Plans". Look for it there.
Thank you chandresh kumar. As for a job in the US in coding, it is my understanding that the issue with coding outside of the US is that the software companies for coding don't have license to operate outside of the US. More and more companies are expanding outside but until they do, coding cannot be done for the US from other countries.
That video was a couple years ago. I recommend my students create theirs. You can do it too. Just list the appropriate codes for each section. I will do a video explaining how to create one.
With online schooling and little interaction with a teacher you have been a godsent. THANK YOU!!!
You are so welcome Sherrie.
I truly enjoyed watching your videos. I has helped me even more with understanding the coding/billing.
OMGOODNESS!! I struggled with understanding E&M coding!!! But you have made it easier for me to grasp the concept of now! Thank you so much! And thank you for taking time out to do these videos!
I HAD MY 'AH-HA!' MOMENT! FINALLY UNDERSTOOD E/M CODING...
THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!

Hi Coach
will you be covering Anesthesia and Anesthesia formula?
thanks
I sure will be Shantell Palmore. As soon as I finish E&M, Anesthesia is next.

Gonna be starting back CPT soon.
Can you please provide a link so that we can have access to the DOC form? I been looking for it everywhere and can't find it.Thanks in advance!
The link is in my video titled, "Links To Lesson Plans" here on my TH-cam channel. I did not keep a copy.
@@codemastercoach6636 Thanks you're the best! I have learned so much about coding from you. Congrats on the new teaching job!
Thank you Rachel Brown.
❤❤❤
Thank you very much for this useful information. Be blessed
Are there any videos following this one? I can't seem to find them.
Make sure to type in my channel, "CodeMasterCoach" and it will take you to all of my videos. That is not the last video.
@@codemastercoach6636 thank you very much.
God bless you
Thanks so much this was amazing. Can we still request the lesson plan for this lesson?
Thank you. Yes, look for my video titled, "Links To Lesson Plans" on my TH-cam channel.
Hi Coach! Would it be allowed to attach your DOC form in my CPT for the CPC exam? It is so helpful. Thank you!

So, I recommend writing on pages that have space rather than attaching anything. The guidelines state no attaching documents but you can have writing.
@@codemastercoach6636 Thank you!
Do you have a link to a copy of the doctors office checklist?
Sorry, Julie Godown, I don't have a link to the DOC form. I teach my students to create them based on the setting they are working in.
Would it be possible for me to get a hold of this chart? I'm going in for my 3rd time taking the CPC exam. Please and thank you. 😞
Mina Xiong, it is included in the Lesson Plan for that video. E-mail me at CodeMasterCoach@gmail.com for the link.

Full of useful information. Thnx. M from India, how can I get a job in U. S. A in coding field
Thank you chandresh kumar.

More and more companies are expanding outside but until they do, coding cannot be done for the US from other countries.
so is there no code for new patients with comprehensive history and examination with straight-forward decision making? If so, I'm not seeing it?
The key is "NEW", so you need 3/3. It would be the lowest level, straight-forward. What setting?
@@codemastercoach6636 physician's office! I've been struggling to find this one all day!
Do you no any good places to learn medical coding in the Dallas, Fort Wort TX area?
bluesteak1 the Medical Coding Academy was great for me!
MCA was for me too!!. But I want more training on E&M
Absolute Medical Coding
@@KandidlyKT It's all about passing the test with Medical Coding Academy.
Hi CodeMaster Coach, Is there a way to get a link for this sheet? Thank You for your videos..
Yes, Lisa Larson. I recorded a video with links to each of my Lesson Plans. Be sure to look for that video on my channel.
Where is the link for your lesson plan?? I am not finding any links??
In a video on my channel titled, "Links To Lesson Plans".
Oh ok thanks
What video is after this one?
I am currently teaching ICD-10-CM. When I started CPT, my subscribers weren't ready so I had to stop.
CodeMaster Coach do you know when you will do the next CPT
Where can I find a DOC Form?
There is a video on my channel titled, "Links To Lesson Plans". That's where you will find the link to all of my Lesson Plans.
CodeMasterCoach, is there a way for us to inbox you? You are really speaking to my spirit right now.
My e-mail address is CodeMasterCoach@gmail.com. You can reach me there.
