Week 14: CPT Nervous System, Eye & Anesthesia Coding | AMCI YouTube Course

Welcome, welcome, welcome coders to week

14. We are in the home stretch and

you're still here. Just two more weeks

to go and I couldn't be more proud of

how far you've come. Now this week we'll

be reviewing three powerful areas that

your nervous and eye system as well as

anesthesia coding. All right. So

remember coders this is not just about

coding but it's about becoming forensic,

accurate, certified and being ethical

face. All right. So, we like to say you

are the face of medical coding. Okay,

coders, stay sharp, ask questions, and

lean in. But let's not go anywhere

without introducing the team.

All right, so this is my amazing dream

team.

We have Miss Dolly. And by the way, all

of them are lead instructors. Miss

Dolly, Miss Bianca, Mi Miss Bianca, Miss

Meals, Mr. Sandeep, all our lead

instructors, but Miss Dolly is our MCG

editor and expert in guideline

interpretation. Miss Bianca is our

amazing brain. That's what I always call

her. She's always thinking and

developing. So, she's over the

communications and she's the HubSpot

manager. That's our um student success

portal. Miss Mills is our incredible

medm

and am instructor and she also leads the

student success team. Mr. Sandeep is our

brilliant curriculum developer and he is

one of our international instructors.

Yes. So please say hello to the

instructional team and let's not forget

the AMCI interns. These are rising

worldclass coders and they assist us

with a lot. They help us develop these

scenarios along with um chat and I see

some of you saying hey I you know

they're developing scenarios with chat.

Let me tell you

90% of those scenarios are incorrect the

answers if you don't vet them. So make

sure you vet them really well. We go

through a fourpart vetting process and

our interns are a part of that process.

Now just want to say that these interns

are amazing. They're not only growing

into professionals, a lot of them

already are, but they are contributing

to your project this YouTube course like

pros. So, always remember, be kind,

respectful, and just know they are here

for you. Okay, so that was a longer than

usual introduction, but I felt

compelled. I just wanted to let you know

how much I appreciate them.

Now, every week we have a disclaimer. If

this information, if you're finding

that, hey, this is a little too

difficult, it may be because you

skipped, you may have skipped the

fundamentals. So, go ahead and click on

the are you new to medical coding um

playlist. You can find it on the

syllabus that are you new to medical

coding and I would do or review CPT

parts one and two. So you got to have

that foundation before you can have

these discussions and if you are just

fine that is amazing. That means that

you have this foundation. All right.

What's going on at AMCI? What are we

doing? Well, as it pertains to you, this

YouTube course, you've got two more

weeks. Yes, two more weeks. So, it's

time to start thinking about exam prep.

Yes, you're going to exam prep after the

16th week, but I want to give you some

suggestions for exam prep. Now, last

week we talked about the CPC course.

this, excuse me, CPC exam. This week,

we're going to talk about the CCSP and

what you'll need to ex take the practice

exam. Number one, you will need to chun

your CPT manual. Use your MCG and the

FTRs in the MCG to chun. Number two,

take all of the practice exams in the

MCG. Click on that link. Then click on

the link for the exams. There's lots of

practice and you're going to need it.

Number three, purchase the CCSP exam

prep book by AHEA. It's this blue book.

You're going to need it. It will prepare

you. It will give you an idea of the

topics and also the texture of the exam.

No, there is a also what comes with this

um book either you buy electronic

digital or you can get the hard copy but

it does come with an exam and that exam

is very similar to the texture of the

platform of the actual um certification

exam. So it is highly recommended.

Number four, we highly recommend that

you purchase the AMCI CCSP exam prep

course. It's different than the CPC. The

CPC is not as comprehensive, but it CPC

is great for the CPC. You don't need it,

but this course will prepare you for all

of the five testing domains. Yes, AHEA

has outlined five areas that they want

to test you on and this course will give

you additional instruction. So, what are

those testing domains? I will share that

with you. the last week. But these five

testing domains

typically well testing domain one and

two are your ICD10 CM and your CPT

coding, but three, four, and five are

very specific. A lot of it deals with

topics that we did not address or go in

depth. For instance, billing and

insurance. It's not indepth. Let me let

me rephrase that. you need to be

familiar. So, you need to have more

conversations and more um instruction on

certain things. Just to give you an

example, one of the things you'll need

to know is incident 2 billing. So, you

don't need to be an expert. You just

need to know what it is. And so, right

now, many of you don't know what it is,

but after you take this exam, you will

know. Another thing will be compliant

queries. How to construct a compliant

query. You review that in this course.

Yes, it is more instruction. It does.

It's not not too much more. It might be

like I would say about 2 weeks more.

However, it is up to you. If you say,

"Hey, I just want to go quick and, you

know, get my CPC." Or some people might

say, "Hey, it's probably better for me

to just go ahead and study this and get

my CCSP and stay in the AHEA family."

So, if your end goal is to get your CCS,

that's probably where you want to be

because these very these same topics

will be bridged when you take the CCS.

So that's another reason why it is

recommended that you take the CCSP if

your endgame is the CCS. All right. So

how do you get to this course? Well, let

me get rid of this pointer.

You just go to the website, AMCI

website, www.amcioding.com.

Then click on courses up here.

Then you'll see all of our courses. And

right here,

let's go ahead. Let's see if it comes

up. All right. So, that's in the middle.

This is what you should click on. Oh,

and by the way, it's $59.99. It's

really, we made it very, very

affordable. So, you get $59.99 in

addition to that course. You get a boot

camp, you get three um mock exams. So,

this is really um designed we basically

I created these courses with you all in

mind. You know, we said, "Hey, here's a

free course, but we can't make you take

our full course." That that's crazy. You

know, it's not it's not fair and um it

is an option. However, um I'm not sure

if I can recommend anyone who trained

you for the CCSP. So, this is the only

thing that I can recommend. So, we tried

to make it affordable. We hope that it

is for you.

Oh, and you only need to be in it about

a month. So, $59.99 should be all you

spend. But if you need two months, you

have the option. Now, let's continue.

And this is what it looks like after you

click on the link. And there it is.

Click on that, get in the course, and

you should be good.

All right, don't forget Friday nights in

Discord, Friday night live. I'm telling

you that Wheel of Fortune is a hit. So,

if you're not doing anything, come and

and enjoy yourself. And yes, it it is

related to coding. So, come on, have fun

and also learn to code.
