>> Hello, hello, hello. How are you?

It is so good to see everybody in the

chat and I need you all to help me out.

I need to know if you can hear me. Go

ahead, type in the chat. Let me know. I

think Mr. Sandeep is saying something to

me. All right, Mr. Sandeep. I don't know

if you can hear me or not. Type in the

chat. All right. Thank you, Miss Mills.

Miss Mills said, "Loud and clear."

Let me situate my headset for a minute.

All right. So, welcome coders. Welcome

to this is week three of the YouTube

16-week

course. Yeah, we got a few more weeks to

go, but how are you doing? How's

everyone doing?

Type in the chat. Let me know how your

studying is coming. And I want you to be

sincere. Be honest. I'm not going to

judge you at all. You help me when you

tell me exactly what I need to know. Are

you doing the work? Let me know. Go

ahead and vent. Is it too much? Is it

too little? Are you in another course

where you're supplementing this work?

What do you need from me? How can AMCI

instructors help you? I need to know.

All right.

Okay. So, while you're answering, I just

want to say hello to my team. I'm going

to scan this chat and I want to say

hello first to Mr. Sand Deepep, Ms.

Meals, Miss Haley, I see you. Let's see

who else is here. All right. So, when

they come in, I'm going to say hello to

them. Uh, let's see. I see my interns in

here. I see Miss Star Wars girl. You

fooled me yesterday. All right. Let me

see if I can. Miss Mills, please let me

know if I've missed any of the interns,

but they'll be popping in and just want

to say hello. And I'm just going to just

say hello. Hey.

Yeah, I remember you from last week,

Lucky. And thank you so much for your um

your survey response.

Indeed. And I want to welcome Betty. I

want to welcome Algra. They're new

members. Welcome, welcome, welcome. All

right, everybody. Let's get started. The

purpose of this class, I'm not going to

say it every week, but the only thing

that I want to say is the purpose is not

to instruct. No, we're we're not here to

instruct. We just kind of want to be

your accountability partner. We want to

keep you moving along. And if you don't

meet like do all of the homework, it's

not a big deal, right? But these classes

are advanced. So if you're not, if you

haven't done the work before class, it

might be a little, you know, it'll be a

little more taxing because you don't

know some things and there's a

presumption that you do. And um I had

somebody in my MCDC course say, "Hey,

Mrs. J, I need you to sit here and and

open up the book with me." And I'm like,

"We can't because you should have

already got that." And I'm sure if

you're advanced, you don't need me to do

that. So, um

um just want to let you all know that.

Someone said that studying sometimes is

overwhelming and they're taking the CCS

exam. It's intimidating. Well, the first

thing is um I would say not to see it as

overwhelming and make it um you know

develop your own study plan and make it

into digestible bite-sized nuggets.

Don't if you can't if it's too much make

it enough

for you. So, thank you for sharing.

Yeah, you can do it. All right. So,

somebody's enrolled in another course,

but they're also taking this course to

supplement. Um, and they said this

course has helped them understand

everything so much better. And you know

what? Honestly, you don't need that

other course. Just saying. And there is

a lot of people telling you that you

have to be in an AAPC

course. Absolutely not.

Like, why would they tell you that?

Well, they benefit. Just saying you

don't need it. In fact, if you want to

know if you are ready for the exam, I

tell you at the end of this course to go

ahead and purchase their three exams.

Those three exams are like the exam.

those A, B and C exams or yeah ABCDE F

exams those are identical to the well

very similar not identical very similar

to the medical coding exam so if you

want to know if you're ready then take

that and my AMCI students the MCDC

students because I can I can measure

them they're knocking that thing out of

the park and knocking the exam out of

the park and you know what if you do

this work you'll knock it out of the

park. So, don't let anyone tell you to

buy something that you do not need. Just

saying. All right.

All right. So, somebody said they missed

the first couple of weeks, but it's

okay. You can catch up. All right. Let's

continue.

All right. So, I do have one big

announcement. This is not the AMCI MCDC

course. We kind of get that a lot. So,

this isn't the course. And I also want

to tell you that Mondays,

go to the medical um excuse me, our

guidelines mastery classes on Monday.

This Monday, Miss Haley is going to be

talking about endocrine system. Yeah.

And then you'll be ready for our class.

So come on. And also if you're getting

the weekly emails, don't ignore them.

I'm sending you, you know, basically

what's happening kind of as a reminder

and um also giving you the links. So,

it's real helpful. Um the MCG it will be

available next month hardback, but the

ebook is available now. All right, just

want to remind you all to go ahead and

reg. You can RSVP for all of these

classes from your syllabus. So, the

syllabus is your friend. And I would

just kind of do them all. Register for

all of them at the same time. And

there's only eight weeks on there

because I don't want to inundate you.

The next eight weeks will come, you

know, closer to that time. But you just

click on one link and then you click the

notify me button and it should notify

you. Okay. So, we're getting a lot of

people, not you all, but new people

because people are joining at different

times. They're looking for the

information on the textbooks. They are

here on your syllabus right at the top.

And we will be using ICD10 CM for the

the next few the next week. So the first
