Principal procedure is used to correct the principal diagnosis. Did I identify principal procedure correctly? (smile) Enjoying your laid back style, consistent delivery and introduction to new vocabulary words. This has to be one of the best one on one online approach to understanding and retaining current coding material. May you continue to help others such as myself to be better coders, managers, teachers, etc. Between me learning coding lingo, physician and hospital familiarly used abbreviations and acronyms, Spanish and Language Arts I'm starting to feel like I speak a foreign language. Because of all the different uses that one English word could have I find myself constantly referring to additional resources to confirm I'm using the verbiage and content correctly. A little exhausting at times. Thanks so much for the consistency. God Bless. - Inspiration By B
I will make sure I re-cover that. With secondary codes, the order really does not matter but we tend to put the most resource intensive diagnosis first. The Z-codes are sequenced based on what they are. I will cover this again in a future video.
Hi, I love your videos. They are very helpful. I had a question. This patient has pneumococcal pneumonia, given his prior history of COPD. Does that mean COPD would be coded as additional diagnosis. I do not understand when it says given his prior history". Please explain
You are saving my life right now!!! I Can't thank you enough for this channel. You are amazing in so many ways. Thanks Coach!

Is there a video that discussed sequencing secondary codes and z codes.

I don't understand. Are we still on ICD-10-CM? I thought procedures were coded out of the CPT?
UHDDS include both diagnosis and procedures.
What is V code and E code
Thank you very much I appreciate your teaching
