YouTube Course Week SEVEN: ICD-10-CM Chapters 15–17 | OB, Perinatal & Congenital Conditions

Hello everyone. Welcome to week seven.

I'm Mrs. Jay, one of the curriculum

developers here at AMCI, and I continue

to be amazed by your progress coders.

Some of you are developing and becoming

these forensic, accurate, certified, and

ethical coders. That's right. the face

of medical coding. All right, I'll tell

you about that later. But some of your

questions in Discord just lets me know

that you're not just memorizing these

diagnosis. You

are becoming

forensic. I love it. I love it. Your

questions are incredible. Okay, so this

week we're going to discuss pregnancy,

perinatal, and congenital anomalies, but

not without

first me

recognizing an incredible team. So,

sending my love to our instructors and

interns who are the baddest on the

planet when it comes to medical coding.

I believe it. And you know what? They're

going to just continue to help you out

in the chat and they're going to help

you break down those guidelines the AMCI

way. All

right. Oh, and for you coders, you have

questions. We've got

answers. And it's just one. This is the

most commonly asked question. How to

join Discord? All right, coders. So

anywhere on our website or YouTube

channel, any video, there is a join

button right there next to the subscribe

button. Make sure you subscribe

too. All right, so that's how you begin.

you um click the join button, select

your

plan, and after you make your payment,

you're going to have to link your

YouTube channel. So, you got to remember

your email address, the email address

that you use to purchase your plan

because that is how you will be

connected in our Discord and they will

give you the proper access to the

resources.

So after you join, you got to link your

YouTube channel to Discord. So what

you're going to do when you bounce in or

come in at the bottom next to your name,

there's going to be a cog wheel in the

bottom left corner. Click

it. All right. After you click it,

you're going to see this menu and click

connections.

After connections, you're going to see

all of these icons. See that green box?

You got to click that arrow because we

have to get to YouTube. We're trying to

link YouTube. So, you click on it and

then YouTube is all the way at the end.

So, click on YouTube and just follow the

prompts, right? So, once you follow

those prompts and once connected, a

check mark display will appear on your

profile.

Right. And then that's it. So there you

go. Speaking of

Discord, we've made some

changes. So for those of you that are

already in Discord, you kind of are

familiar. If you're new to Discord,

start at welcome. Everybody else just

want to let you know the changes. So you

start at start here if you're new. It's

start here. then you do your welcome and

then read announcements. And if you

still need help linking your YouTube

channel, the instructions are there. All

right. So, for those that are currently

in Discord, we got some changes. We kind

of organized it better. You've got

questions. If you have a question for

the coding chat lounge, click there. A

question to ask an instructor, click

there. A question for Mrs. J. A question

for Mrs. J, click here. And when and I'm

talking about the lunch with Mrs. J. So

if you want to get me your question

ahead of time, click that. Also,

assignments and notes. So your weekly

assignments will be here. And any

additional resources will be here as

well. Then you've got daily scenarios.

Yeah, every day we send you something.

We're going to prompt and send something

just to kind of get you

going. And I want you to see more. I

couldn't put it all on one slide. So

let's go to the

next. All right. So we have organized

them according to topics. So if you have

a question or want to make a post on a

specific topic in Discord, if it's

regarding a daily scenario, post it on

the day of the week. If it's Monday, it

goes there. Tuesday, Wednesday,

etc. Now, these are on specific topics.

Typically, you won't be the main poster.

You might want to respond to the Monday

MCG manual question or the forensic

Friday question, they'll be sitting

there. Also, if it's an ICD10 CM subject

and let's say we, you know, if you have

a specific question about any of these

topics, I suggest putting it here. And

here's why. Because it stays here. It's

going to stay here. If you put it in the

general chat, then you are going to

probably get lost and it your question

gets organized. So, put your question

pertinent

um

questions on the subject that it's

pertinent to. So, if ICD10 CM this week

we're talking about pregnancy, if you

have a question about pregnancy, put it

there. Right there. All right. And the

same two for CPT subjects. There you go.

Hopefully that helps get you a little

organized.

Now, the books, the books that you're

going to need for today's class, you're

going to need ICD10 CM. If you intend to

take this CCS, we recommend ICD10CM

expert for

hospitals. Number

two, this stepbystep 2025 by Carol

Bucks. You can get any publication

between 2023 and 2025. And finally, the

AMCI MCG manual 2024 and 2025 are the

two that you could um have are the two

options. Now, just want to ask you to

let everybody know about this course.

I'm telling you, this is the

bestkept secret. Don't let it be a

secret, coders. Don't let it be. You

know what? Share, share, share. The more

you share, the longer this course will

last. No, we do have a 16-week course,

but we're thinking about some other free

stuff, but if we don't see any interest

in it, then what are we doing, right?

So, please share this with everyone.

Tell everyone about this course now.

This is ICD10 CM chapter 15 guidelines

on pregnancy

complication. Number

two, chapter 16 perinatal guidelines.

Number three, chapter 17, congenital

anomalies. And goal four, we're going to

give you practice scenarios to test your

knowledge.

Now, don't forget to follow along in

your MCG manual. Go ahead, get your MCG

manual, flip to chapter 15. If you don't

have the MCG manual, we recommend the

official coding guidelines because

everything is in in order and the link

is in the chat team. The link is on this

corresponding slide if you're looking

for it. So, it's in the chat. Okay,

coders, let's dig in and get to work on

chapter

15. Welcome to chapter 15. In this

chapter, we will discuss pregnancy,

childbirth, and the proparium. But

you'll come to learn that chapter 15 is

pretty much pregnancy

complications. And you'll also see that

it's unlike any other chapter because

these codes, if applicable, have
