AMCI YouTube Course Week: THREE ICD-10-CM Neoplasms

welcome welcome welcome to week three

everybody I'm Mrs Jay the curriculum

director here at

AMCI and I just am you know I'm very

very excited about week three I'm very

excited that you're here let me go ahead

and introduce my team say hello to the

instructor instructors please wave wave

wave in the chat they are the most

amazing instructors on the planet they

can rock any guideline clarify most

confusion and uplift any student at the

same time and they do it with skill and

heart and I am telling you the

truth say hello to the

instructors and let's not forget about

the backbone of AMC C our incredible

interns they are the quiet Force making

everything run behind the scenes and

they wear the blue

badges and I'm not going to forget about

you cter you are an integral part of

this experience and together with you

we're building greatness so let's go

ahead and Crush week three neoplas some

guidelines let's do it the AMCI way and

we're going to begin with some questions

commonly asked questions from last

week and they are how to get started why

do I need medical coding introduction to

medical coding why do I have to satisfy

those

prerequisites why can't we why do we

have to study like this can't we just

exam

prep number four do I have to join

Discord and number five how do I join

the

Discord okay all right so I'm going to

answer them as quickly as I can because

we've got a lot to unpack

today all right why do I need medical

introduction to medical coding why do I

need to fulfill those

prerequisites because this course is

designed under the

assumption that you have that base that

you understand um General coding

guidelines and conventions so you have

to understand that before you can have a

conversation on specific coding

guidelines and that's what the first

eight weeks is all about so go ahead

click on on the link it's in the chat

we're putting it in the chat for you if

this is too heavy and you need those

prerequisites go there first if this is

your first time here you have to click

on the prerequisites for this to make

sense all right okay number two why

can't we just exam prep why do we have

to do all this

studying

well because it's essential it really is

that is the problem problem if you see

people on social media saying I can't

find a job I can't find a job it's

likely because they can't pass the

pre-hire exams and those exams require

that you have fundamental skill and you

got to know those guidelines you have to

know how to code so we're showing you

what you need and at the same time this

is what you need for the exam this makes

you a strong coder right and besides

what about AI you hear people saying

well AI is taking my jobs no they're not

right now there is a strong need for

people who can oversee AI yes AI can do

the small stuff but AI when it kicks it

out it's going to need someone to kick

it out to and you the person who has a

strong guideline knowledge and the

ability to to reference

guidelines that's going to be you and

it's going to put you at an advantage

we're just getting ahead of the horse

right so make sure that you know your

stuff and you will do well on those preh

hire exams you'll do well on your exam

okay okay I know I said I was going to

be quick but do I have to join the

Discord no you do not you do not have to

join the Discord the people in the

Discord they get to communicate with one

another they do get some resources such

as handouts for this playback from

tonight and today and they also get some

extra practice questions and some of

them get to have questions answered by

their instructors and they also peer you

know they study together in the Discord

so there are some advantages but no you

do not have to join the Discord we've

put

enough to do well in this course on your

syllabus follow your syllabus and you're

good now the next question is how do I

join the Discord

well how to join Discord

well log on to our YouTube channel and

click join

and don't forget to

link to your YouTube channel to Discord

it's going to ask you after you CH

choose join and you do whatever you need

to do it's going to ask you to link your

YouTube channel to Discord so make sure

that you do that so that you can get the

resources that you need or you can just

putting it in the chat you can go ahead

and join by clicking the

link now on to the good stuff these are

the texts that you'll you need or

required for the first eight weeks we

are in week three you need your icd10 CM

your bucks step bystep and your MCG

manual you can use any year between 2023

and 2025 for your buck step by step and

for the MCG 24 or

25 okay now let's read the

number one we're going to review section

one chapter 2 guidelines neoplasms

number two we're going to test your

knowledge with practice exercises and

three we're going to bring you one step

closer to guideline

Mastery now let's go ahead and begin our

discussion on icd10 CM chapter 2

specific coding guidelines for

neoplasms now if you didn't know that

specific coding guidelines these are

chapter one one C guidelines these

guidelines take precedence over the

conventions a guidelines and general

coding guidelines be

guidelines I just thought I would say

that now let's get

started essentially in this section you

are coding for neoplasms Cancers

sarcomas adomas and leukemias just to to

name a few but before we go any further

let's look at the classifications or

types of neoplasms as defined by icd10

CM let's begin defining these types of

neoplasms first you have benign benign

neoplasm is a non-cancerous tumor and it

doesn't invade nearby tissue or spread

to other parts of the body

cancer in situ now this is a malignancy

this is cancer often and it remains

confined to its original site one thing

about cancer cancer spreads cancer in

situ does not often this is very early

stage cancer or

precancer primary malignity this is

indeed cancer it is the original site

where canc begins before it spreads and

this is the first cancer

diagnosed next we have secondary cancer

or secondary malignancy and this is

metastasis it's also known as metastasis

and this is cancer that has spread from

the primary

site so it spreads from another part of

the body to that site and finally we

have uncertain and unspecified cancer

now uncertain is pretty much what it

says the doctor's not certain about the

type of cancer and unspecified the

doctor didn't specify the type of

cancer let's quickly look at my image of

a prostate or my images of a prostate

the first one represents a normal

prostate with normal Pro prostate

prostate cells they call them epithelial

cells and they line the prostate you see

there within the
