Medical Coding 2 Quiz 3, 4.9

Just wanted to make sure I'm doing this one right. It's the one about the coronary artery bypass graft with cardiopulmonary bypass.

For the diagnoses, I have coded 414.01 for the arteriosclerotic heart disease, 411.1 for the angina, 496 for the COPD and 415.11 for the postoperative pulmonary embolus. But I'm not as worried about those as the procedure codes...

 

I have 36.13 for the (aorto)coronary bypass of three coronary arteries (an open 3-vessel CABG), 39.61 for the cardiopulmonary bypass, and 36.15 for the single internal mammary-coronary artery bypass. I'm pretty confident about the first two codes but I'm not sure if I should code separately the code for the mammary artery. I know that I don't need to code the harvesting of the saphenous vein because that is bundled into the CABG in the ICD-9, but I also know I need 3 procedure codes. They don't describe the extra required treatment of the postoperative pulmonary embolus so I know it's not that.

 

Just hoping I'm on the right track. This cardiovascular stuff is so complicated!

 

Thanks!

Hi Everyone -- I'm working on Quiz 3 and my list of number of codes needed says this is a multiple choice question but I see that it's not. So, I don't know how many codes to use.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

Thanks a bunch!

So, my header for this discussion is pretty cheesy but I hope it caught the attention of the new medical and coding students. I'd like to get to know some of you in this course so that we can help each other out. Any takers? I have facebook, twitter, and skype. Or if it is easier we could exchange numbers to help each other further. Thanks in advance!

I would like to thank my instructor on yesterday, for helping me with some concerns I had with the ICD-10-CM, she also gave me some good tips on how to organize my ICD-9-CM. Was very patient with me, until we came up with an solution.  I forgot your name but if you see this post. I would like to say thank you, my ICD-9-CM is looking like a rainbow LOL.

UGG  I am having a very hard time with this one!!  Maybe it's because I took sometime off because of the holidays and the fact that my kids where home for the past couple weeks.  I am lost and getting very upset about things not making sense.  Is anyone in the same boat?  Is there anyone out there who would like to tutor me when I need help?  I feel that I am not looking into things far enough.  Any advise would be great!!

Hello I'm very excited to finally get started with a program that fits My schedule, however I have to ask again does this course include ICD10 coding as well?  Because as we know ICD9 is supposed to be obsolete as of October of 2015..

Does anyone remember how long it took, after you sent in your request, to join AAPC?  I'm hoping to network with my local chapters of the AAPC, hoping to get some guidance on tough coding questions and insight on finding jobs in my area.  I've contacted a few people through the website and they suggested I ask the 'forum' which I can't do unless I'm a member.

 

Thanks!
