YouTube Course Week FOUR - ICD-10-CM Endocrine and Nervous System

Welcome to week four everybody. If you

didn't know, I'm Mrs. Jay, the

curriculum developer here at

AMCI. And this is week four. We are

here. We got a few more ahead of us,

more ahead of us than behind us. But we

are chugging away. And you know what,

coders, hang in there. Hang in there.

Don't give up. Just come. Keep coming

and keep coming. I promise you're going

to get something. You know, if you shoot

for the moon, at least you fall among

the stars. You're going to get

something. Okay, coders. I just want to

say we're here. Week four. What are we

doing in week four? We're going to do

nervous system and endocrine. We're not

going to tackle all of the guidelines,

just some. Now, I do want to tell

you before we go any further, I want to

say hello to my instructional team. I

want to say hello to the coding wizards.

They are the

baddest instructional team on the

planet. I always say that they can break

down complex guidelines. They can turn

confusion into clarity. And most

important, they can inspire students

like no other.

So say hello to them. They are in the

chat. Ask away. And let's not forget

about our interns. Let's give a

thunderous a round of applause. Go ahead

and clap clap clap. Thank you so much

interns. They are they make everything

possible. They are behind the scenes.

They're behind the scenes magic

and I just appreciate them. I hope you

do too. And you coders, you crushed week

three

neoplasms. Now, let's go ahead and take

that momentum into week

four, and we're going to do it the AMCI

way. Well, we have questions. You have

been asking questions on your surveys or

just anywhere Discord. This is what

you've been asking. You want to know

How to get started? That's the number

one question. And if anyone wants to get

started, you know someone, encourage

them to do it now while we're here to

help you. Go to

amcoding.com/youtube. Yes, everything

they need to get started is there. Also

the second most asked question is how

long do I have access to the coursework?

Well that playlist list will remain on

our YouTube channel. So as long as

YouTube is there that playlist should be

there and as long as our account is

there that playlist will be there and

also we'll keep the website up too. Also

people want to know why is this course

not live? They want why do you want us

to be live? We are live in the chat. Go

ahead. I challenge you. Ask me a

question right now. I'm Mrs. J. I do

have a puzzle piece, but I am waving in

the chat. I'm saying here I am. Here I

am. And ask me a question. Can you do

that? If my instruction were live, could

you could I focus on instructing and

keep the pace of this class if I'm in

the chat talking to? No. So, I think we

need to rethink how we learn in this

century. I'm telling you, this digital

age can really work to our advantage.

So, I'm in the chat. Go ahead and say

hello or ask me any question. All right.

The next question is how to get in that

discord. All right, this is how you do

it. You just go to the YouTube channel,

type in AMCI coding, and you'll come

here, type on any

um any um lecture or video, and then you

see the join button right here. Click

that join button and follow the prompts.

and make sure that if you're trying to

get in the Discord, you have to link

your YouTube channel. All right? And if

you don't know how to do it, contact our

success team. We're really happy to

help. Now, first things first, these are

the books that are required for the

first eight weeks of this course. Number

one, your ICD10 CM expert for hospitals

by Optum is the recommended, but any

ICD10 CM manual will suffice. Number

two,

stepbystep medical coding by Bucks. This

is your instructional book, your text

book. You can have any book between 2023

and 2025. What is the difference? The

biggest difference is the evaluation and

management. This 2025 has an updated

ENM, but it's not that big of a deal.

So, if you want to save money, go for

the less expensive. The MCG manual. This

is um basically right now we're using it

for guidelines. This is really good for

that. And then when you get your next

nine weeks, it's really good because a

lot of coding scenarios are in there.

There are

about I think it's over a thousand. This

book says 900, but since then we've put

over a thousand in there. So, you've got

a lot of scenarios and a lot of

guidance, a lot of charts. Okay, enough

about that. Let's read the

presentation before I cite them, just

want to let you know that this is not an

introductory course or class or course

for that matter. Um, you should have a

basic understanding of ICD10 CM a basic

understanding. So, how to look up a code

and general guidelines as well as coding

conventions. You should know that. If

you don't, then go to the website and

follow the instruction, you know, and

follow the instruction under the

pre-erequisites.

Now, let's get into the goals of the

presentation. Number one, we're going to

review section 1, chapter 4, endocrine

guidelines. Number two, we're going to

review section 1, chapter 6, nervous

system guidelines. And three, hopefully

we'll bring you one step closer to

guideline mastery.

Now, just want to let you know that we

will not be reviewing chapters five and

seven. You'll need to review those on

your own. And I believe after we review

four and six, you'll be more than

capable to do so. Now, let's get

started. Section one C chapter 4. Now,

this is a

chapter endocrine nutritional and

metabolic diseases code series E00

through E89. This chapter is one of the

most heavily tested on your exam. Yeah.

And heavily visited in the real world in

real world coding because you have

diagnosis like

diabetes, thyroid disorders and obesity.

But it is that diabetes.

Speaking of which, E00 through E89, we

see that pneumonic um term for E is

endocrine and also

diabetes, that long E. So, if you've

studied in part one or you've seen the

introductory videos, you remember. All

right? So, it's important that you

recognize these terms on site. But

again, diabetes has some coding nuances

and it's very heavily tested on your

exam. So, let's get right into

it. We'll begin with the first

guideline. Guideline IC4A and from the

perspective of the 2025 MCG

manual. And if we look at column

three, there is some guidance. Now this

um title is just diabetes malitis. But I

do think that understanding the diabetes

default codes is very very important.

Just know that

E10.9 is type 1. It's the non-specific

code for type 1

diabetes.

E11.9 is the

nonspecific code for type 2 diabetes.

And in parenthesis, you see default.

Now, I do want to tell you that um when

a provider is not specific about the

type, type two will be your default. And

I think that's largely because between

90 and 95% of the people diagnosed with

diabetes are type two. So it is the most

common and if the documentation does not
