YouTube Course Week FIVE: ICD-10-CM Chapter 9 Circulatory System

Welcome to week five everyone. I'm Mrs.

Jay, the curriculum developer here at

AMCI and I am thrilled to kick off

another powerful week of coding mastery.

Last week we crushed chapter four and

six endocrine and nervous system

guidelines respectively and you all did

what forensic coders do. You learned how

to break down those guidelines and

figure out the correct code. Now let's

turn our attention to week five. And in

week five, we're going to discuss

circulatory system guideline. And I'm

going to tell you, if I had to say the

most

heavily referenced chapter in ICD10 CM

on these medical coding exams, I would

say it comes from the circulatory

system. Yes. And today we're going to

break down those guidelines and it's

going to be easy peasy lemon

squeezy. I'm pretty confident. Let me

know on the survey at the end. I want to

know. Okay, before we go any further,

let's go ahead and say hello to the

baddest instructional team on the

planet, medical coding instructional

team on the planet. Please say hello to

my team. They are in the chat. They are

waving. Please and thank

you. And let's not forget our interns.

They are wearing the blue badges. They

are the backbone of AMCI and they keep

things running smoothly during these

sessions during

classes. So, please say hello to the

interns.

Now, let's keep this energy high and the

codes accurate, coders, and shout out to

you as we move on to week five, chapter

nine,

circulatory. Now, we can't go too far

before a answering these questions. We

do have most commonly asked questions

and here they are. Number one, how do I

get started? Two, why did you skip some

instruction like we

did

endocrine, we skipped over mental

health, we did nervous, we skipped over

I. How come? All right, I'll answer that

also. Can I be in I2MC and the YouTube

course at the same time? and for how to

join

Discord. You have questions, we have

answers. Okay, coders. First question,

how to get started? You just go to the

website

www.amcoding.com/youtubecourse or just

go to

amcoding.com and click the tab at the

top that says YouTube course. Follow

those instructions and you can't go

wrong. Number two, why did you skip some

instruction? Well, we skipped some of

the instruction because this is a

self-study course. We don't have enough

time to um go over all of the content,

but we did make an effort to bridge

those subjects that are more complex.

So, and have the most coding guidelines

and nuances. So, we walked you through

the more complex so that you

can tackle those other subjects on your

own because you do have the tools. You

can do it and you will. All right.

Number three, can I be in both I2MC and

YouTube course? Well, initially the

mindset was that you should have

finished um

I2MC then come on to YouTube course and

then we gave you some videos to watch

some pre-erequisite videos to watch. So

to answer the question yes as long as

you've completed the I2MC portion and

then there's going to be another portion

when we get to CPT you should have

completed introduction to CPT. So yes,

you can be in both. It's a lot of work,

but that's your choice and we're here to

accommodate you. Final

question, how to join Discord? Okay, go

to the YouTube channel and you can click

on any video, probably this one, the

lecture below this lecture, and you'll

see that join button, that black join

button. Click on it, and there you go.

Now, after you follow the prompts to get

enrolled, then click make sure you link

your YouTube channel after you get in

the Discord. Say link. So, you can link

whichever channels you want. So, make

sure you do it and use the same email

address so they know that you've paid

for the Discord. All

right. Now, books. Just a reminder for

the first eight weeks of this class,

ICD10 CM is required. If you um we do

prefer the ICD10 CM expert for

hospitals. If you are going to move on

and take your CCS, we recommend it

because it has great indicators.

Also, your textbook, sorry about that,

your textbook is by Bucks. The 2025 step

by step is recommended, although you can

save money and get a later year. Don't

go beyond

2023. And finally, the MCG manual that

you can you the image is 2025, but you

can get the 2024 if you want to save

money. All right. Now time for the

coders, I need your assistance. If you

are loving this free

course, don't keep it to yourself. Share

it. Share it far and wide. Post about

it. Let people know about this free

course. While this course won't go away,

the instructors will after the 16 weeks.

So, let everyone know. And think about

it. The more you share or engage our

course in our lectures, the more free

programs we can develop because we know

you love it, right? So don't keep this

as your little secret. Keeping it as

your little secret could possibly make

it go away. All right? So get it out

there. Let's flood the world. Yes. Let's

flood the world with ethical, forensic,

and certified coders. Okay, coders. I

thank you in advance. Oh, by the way,

while you're here, go down and like this

lecture. However, if you want to wait

until after, wait until after. Okay.

Now, let's talk about the goals of the

presentation. Goal number one, we're

going to review section one, chapter 9,

circulatory guidelines. Number two,

practice exercises to test our

knowledge. and three will bring you one

step closer to guideline

mastery. Section one, chapter 9,

circulatory

system. The key word is circulation.

You will come to learn that all of the

the diagnosis and guidelines are

pertinent to the circulatory system from

hypertension, coronary artery disease,

cerebral vascular accidents, CVA or

strokes to myioardial

inffections. It all comes back to the

flow of blood.

I just thought I would say

that.

Now, let's

talk. The circulatory system is

basically your body's delivery and clean

up service. Your circulatory system

moves blood through your heart and blood

vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to

the rest of the body.

Now, lack of

circulation can cause the body part some

problems. You could actually lose

function of that body part or lose the

body part all

together. Now, let's not even talk about

the heart and the circulatory system.

Let's talk

about how other parts of the body

need that or requires that circulation.

Think about

it.

People lose their limbs due to lack of

circulation. So this circulatory system

which comprises the heart, let me see if

I have a pointer here. Yeah, I've got

one. Let me see. I hope you can see it.

I don't think so. Let me change the

color. Maybe. I don't know. But the
