Introduction to Medical Coding | ICD-10-CM for Beginners (CPC, CCS-P, CCS) - Part THREE

Welcome to ICD10 CM part three. I'm Mrs.

Jay, one of the curriculum developers

here at AMCI. Let's get started.

Previously, we discussed ICD10 CM

conventions, general coding guidelines.

We gave you scenarios to test your

knowledge. and hopefully we've brought

you one step closer to ICD10 CM coding

mastery. Now, if you haven't viewed

parts one and two, now is a good time to

do so. Then come on back.

And in this presentation, we will

discuss well, we're going to review

ICD10 CM categories, the tabular list,

and we're going to give you the AMCI

technique to learn how to memorize these

categories. We're going to give you a

slight technique. You probably won't

remember everything, but you will

remember something. and hopefully we'll

bring you one step closer to ICD10 CM

coding mastery.

And before we go any further, let's go

ahead and read the copyright. CPT is a

the tabular list. This is what I call

the verifier because we have to verify

everything that we've looked up in the

tabular list. So, just just to kind of

give you a little background, ICD10m has

22 chapters and these chapters house all

of the codes whose categories are from A

to Z. Now, at AMCI, we've determined

that if students can remember the

category

just looking at the first letter of the

category, then they should have an

advantage when taking the coding

certification exams.

Now, let's talk a little further.

Remember coders, in part one when I

showed you the color pages? Yes, these

color pages inside that purple box. This

represents the tabular list. This is

where you will verify the code once you

find it in the index. And very very

important coders remember there are

guidelines in your tabular list. So the

tabular list is important. Now in this

presentation in a fun way we are going

to learn these categories on site. You

will learn AMCI's word associations

for these categories. Again at AMCI we

believe if students can remember the

categories they should have an advantage

when taking the coding certifications

exams. Now coders who does that mean?

That means you, yes, you can have an

advantage.

Now, why do we think students have an

advantage if they learn the categories

on site?

Well, if you didn't know, most medical

coding exams are timed and are

multiplechoice.

And if you learn categories on site,

it will save you time on those

multiplechoice

timed exams. Now, this is huge. It's

huge because time is the number one

reason

most people don't pass the certification

exams. They will tell you themselves

they didn't have enough time.

Well, if you don't know,

you're going to know now. At AMCI, we

integrate time-saving techniques in your

coding instruction. Like right now, look

at this scenario.

By the end of this presentation, you

will be able to solve this scenario

without looking in your coding manuals.

Well, most of you, well, a significant

number of you will. And if you don't,

it's okay. You just may need a little

more practice, but you will get it. All

right, coders, let's get started.

All right, let's take a look. We've said

that there are 22 chapters in the

tabular list. We know that. But let's

just kind of quickly look. You got 1 2 3

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 right before you. And on

the next page,

you have 11 through 22. Now, I'm not

going to read all of these because I'm

going to do it on the next slides. In

fact, we're going to go through each

chapter and I'm going to give you some

site

words to help you remember. All right,

let's get started. We're going to begin

with

Oh, you know what?

I don't want to go f I don't want to go

any further without shouting out the

AMCI students who helped us come up with

this word association

um list. You rock AMCI students. Indeed

you do. I want to thank you. I want to

thank the AMCI instructors. You all did

an amazing job. Now let's start with the

letter A.

In chapter 1, the category codes begin

with the letter A. You will find all

infectious diseases. In this chapter,

certain infectious and parasitic

diseases. When we think of infectious

diseases, what do we think of? Well, if

you said AIDS because it's on the

screen, indeed, we think of AIDS. And

this category begins with A just like

the word AIDS. So when you think of

chapter one, think of A

is for AIDS and it is an infectious

disease.

Okay, coders. So do you see where I'm

going? Think about it. Infectious

diseases. Think about AIDS. AIDS begins

with the letter A.

All right, let's move on to chapter two.

Chapter 2 category codes begin with the

letter C.

You will find neoplasms related diseases

in chapter 2. When we think of

neoplasms, think of cancer. Yes, that's

what a neoplasm is. And the category

begins with C 0 through D49.

So when you think of chapter 2, think

the letter C is for cancer.

Next chapter.

In chapter three, all of the category

codes begin with the letter D.

You will find diseases of the blood and

blood forming organs in certain

disorders involving the immune mechanism

in this chapter and it begins with D50

through D89.

So when we think of diseases of the

blood and blood forming or organs, think

of the letter D and D is for drawing of

blood to determine vitamin D levels.

When you think of D,

think of blood.

All right? So anytime you have a blood

disease or illness, it should be in the

D category.

Chapter 4 category codes all begin with

the letter E. E is for indocrine,

nutritional and metabolic diseases. So

if you have any endocrine condition,

it's going to be under chapter 4 and

it's going to begin with the letter E.

Now the code series is E00 through E89.

And when you think of E endocrine, think

of diabetes.

Hear that long E in diabetes. Diabetes

is probably one of your most common

endocrine diseases that you'll be coding

for. So when you think of E, think of

diabetes and think of any endocrine

related disease.

Chapter five. Chapter five is the

chapter for mental behavioral and

neurodedevelopmental

disorders. Category F01 through F99.

When we think of mental health, we think

of the letter F. Letter F is for Freud.

Sigman Freud. He's the father of

psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysis is used to identify and

treat mental health disorders and this

category begins with F01

through F99.

So when you think of mental and

behavioral and neurodedevelopmental

disorders, think F for Freud. Okay.

Next up,

chapter 5, diseases of the nervous

system and sense organs G00 through G99.

You will find diseases of the nervous

system in chapter 6 that begins with the
