Evaluation & Management (E/M) Coding Explained | by AMCI

Welcome to week 16, coders. You made it

to the final week

of this 16week course. And you know what

coders? We are all very proud of you. It

took a lot for you to get to the finish

line and you're here. Now remember, this

course will be available for as long as

we have this channel. Now, of course,

some of the lectures are going to get

older and we will do our thing. We'll

keep our eye on it and we'll try and

keep the information as updated as

possible. Now, coders, you know, we

might just have to have another one.

Just saying. All right, coders.

This week we're going to be diving into

one of the most important and powerful

sections of CPT coding and that's

evaluation and management coding. So get

ready. A lot of people say, "Oh, I don't

like I don't like it or they're fearful

of it." And the only reason is the

guidelines. There are a ton of

guidelines, but they are very very

doable. You can do this coder. you have

demonstrated your ability throughout and

I know you can. All right, so before we

go any further, let's go ahead and say

hello to the team.

All right, I'm going to call everyone by

name, even myself. I'm Mrs. Jay. I never

say it. Well, I haven't been saying it,

so I'm saying it. I'm Mrs. J. Ms. Dolly.

Ms. Mills, Miss Bianca, Miss Jayla, Mr.

Sand Deepep, Miss Tena, Miss Yadira,

Miss Tanisha.

Hello, hello, hello. This is the AMCI

team. And let's not forget our amazing

interns who also show up week after week

encouraging each and every one of you.

All right, please say hello to the team.

All right, they're in the chat

and they're going to, you know, we're

going to be here the ent the duration

and we're going to end this with a bang.

All right, coders. This is it. No more

live classes on Monday. I am going to

miss you. And I've told you, I promised

you that at the end of the course, I

will provide you with a list of free

YouTube resources for you to exam prep.

So, next Monday, and the reason we're

not doing it today because you have

homework that you need to focus on. So,

next Monday on July 7th, I will upload

our recommendations for how to exam prep

for the CCSP, CPC, and CCS at no cost.

Also, you will have access to the link

on your syllabus on how to exam prep.

Okay. All right. Now, I've got a special

special announcement.

If this free course wasn't enough, now

it should have been enough. It should be

enough for you to kind of go on your

own. It's almost like training wheels.

So now we're taking the training wheels

off and we've taught you a lot of things

for you to manage your self-study.

However,

some of you might say, "No, I need more,

but I can't afford that highpriced

course."

Well,

we've done something.

Yeah. And you all inspired this.

We've created several full lowcost

instructional courses for you to

independently prepare for the medical

coding exams. Not only have we created

these full courses, we've created

smaller courses, too, so that you can

tailor your own instruction according to

your needs. Now, these courses are high

quality and will prepare you for the

certification exams from beginning to

end. That's if you take the full course.

We have a CCSP

independent instructional course with

exam prep and boot camp. We have a CPC

independent instructional course with

exam prep and boot camp. We have a CCS

independent course with exam prep and

boot camp. In fact, we have a um I would

say a collection of courses and you'll

need to go to we'll furnish you with the

link, but this link is on your syllabus

at the end of the syllabus. So, if you

need anything, just search for it. So

this is the page that you will come to

and it says look at these links here.

These are our collection of courses. So

if you need a full course

then it would more than likely be in the

collection. For instance, if you want to

take the full CCSP course, you click

here.

You want the instruction exam prep and

boot camp. Click there.

And then the collection will come up.

It's going to say you'll need to take

parts one, two, three, and four.

However, coders, you are the captain of

your ship. You don't have to take these

courses. No. Let's say you just want to

review part three, advanced CPT. Let's

say you want to review part two. I don't

recommend part one for any of you. If

you've completed this course, I don't

recommend part one at all. So, as you

can see, they're $59.99 a month. So, if

you need four weeks, that is a good

price. If you only need exam prep,

you only need that part four for CCSP.

So, these are for people that need a

full course. It's affordable

and we did it for you all.

Now, if you and I told you I was going

to tell you about free resources, of

course, this is not free. So, the exam

prep for the CCSP is in red. It's $59.99

and the purple is for the CPC. It's

$59.99. And there is an exam prep for

the CCS.

Here it is. This is the CCS. As you can

see, there's one price for it. It's a

flat rate for six months. That is um

this is a comprehensive course. All

right? So, you can cancel at any time.

It's very easy to do. And remember, this

is an independent course, very

independent. So, you don't have access

to the AMCI instructors, right? You

can't, you know, go to our student

success team and say, "Hey, I need help

with this, this, and this." Unless

there's something wrong, right? We're

ready to correct whatever we need to

correct. However, if you have Discord,

you can ask away. So, again, coders, you

do not need to take these courses. You

do not. They are here if you need them.

All right? So, if you click on the

course, any of these courses, you can

see the entire outline.

All right? And the link is on your

syllabus. So, don't worry about this

until you finished everything and then

make informed decisions. Speaking of

Discord,

Discord has wonderful

instructional opportunities in the IMTAP

class. This is interactive medical

terminology and anatomy and physiology.

Oh, by the way, there is a free IMTAP

course, Introduction to Medical

Terminology and AM course in our on our

website. So, you don't have to pay for

it. If that's all you want, that's all

you need. Go get it. It is free. All

right. So, the link we'll I'll talk

about it at the end. All right. Also,

the game night that is excellent

practice. Excellent. So definitely, you

know, participate. That's 700 p.m. on

Friday and IMTAP is 700 p.m. on

Wednesday. And here's a little gem.

Lunch with Mrs. J. I I know maybe I'm

biased, but all of these are great, but

I do um instruction there and I clarify

complex coding rules. I do and I answer

your questions. So if you are a silver

or gold or platinum member then you can

you know come sit with me on Wednesdays.

If you can't make it just submit your

question. There's a place for you to

send me a question. You can talk to me

directly. Okay. Discord is very very

important. You're going to get your

questions answered and you can have all

kinds of interaction with instructors.

Not just me. The other instructors are

coming down the pike really, really

soon. All right, let me get rid of this.

If you want to join Discord, this is how

you do it from your syllabus. These are
