    Hi Victoria,
    Always with excitement waiting for your next video for more helpful tips and tutorials.
    Where I work all of our providers are using 99214.
    When you get a chance would you please give us a detailed information on moderate complexity.

    I had a new patient Hematology appointment where it was coded level 5 for a benign blood condition. I don't feel the code was warranted. On top of that I was billed level 4 by the affiliated hospital that was disallowed and determined to be a facility fee. This all seems so excessive.

    Would the info of the monoclonal antibody treatment be considered as a drug therapy requiring intensive monitoring for toxicity? It is being administered in immediate care centers and the patients are watched closely for reactions

    Do you have any guidance for when the patient has seen the provider when the provider worked for a different group, and is now seeing the same provider at a new group? Would that be billed as a new or established patient?

    I have a question. I had a Pre-Op appointment with my OBGYN for a Uterine ablation Procedure that will be done at the Hospital with Anesthesia. I waited 18 minutes in the waiting room and another 17 minutes in her office before she came in to see me. I only had 10 minutes max with her. They charged it as a Lvl-5. No tests were performed on me that day nore any xrays. Just discussing the up coming procedure and prescribed me two different pills. Is that a lvl-5?

    Hi Victoria, I'm new here! I've been watching your videos as I've been working on my medical coding course and you are so helpful! Thank you so much for making these videos. I have a question and I'm sorry if you've already answered it, however, I was wondering about working remotely as a starting out coder? Is that possible or do you have to work a certain amount of time before you're allowed to work remotely? I was wondering especially since COVID started!

    Hello, I still get a little confused if an US or NST is a Category 1 or 2. I work in coding OP OB triage visits and those are order often in there visit and interpreted by the same provider.

    Question… off the top of your head, can you think of a reason why Medicaid would deny 99215-GT telehealth, think the POS is the office/outpatient??? I been researching but I’m missing something

      @CWdudeyo 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My guess is, if the level is that high, the patient wouldn’t be calling, they would be in the ER 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Some of the base job elements might overlap, but MAs are much more patient-facing than medical coders. Medical coding is also a much more advanced and higher paying role.
