15. Excludes Notes in ICD-10 Question: Hi Laureen I am desperate for your words of understanding. YOU have a way of making things clear for me. I have a question about Excludes notes in ICD 10. Provider documented both M54.17 and M51.17. M54.17 has the excludes1 for M51.17. So, does that mean I only code the M54.17? I am confused when both are documented and which code I am suppose to use. Could you PLEASE help clear up my muddy water? Thank you SO much!! I have read the guidelines, but that isn’t clicking either — Debbie ANSWER Laureen Jandroep, CPC, CPC-I, COC, CMSCS, CHCI, CPPM CCO Founder and CEO

I wanted to do primary T87.89 (other stump complication) however coding tips reflect “Do not assign a code for complication of an amputation stump for an ulcer (due to pressure, diabetic ulcer, arterial, trauma, stasis, or other) of the amputation stump. Ulcers of the amputation stump are not considered amputation stump complications.” How do I code it? Alicia Scott, CPC, CPC-I, CRC CCO Education Director ANSWER

This stems from a question on a practice exam “72 year old undergoes a two vessel autogenous coronary bypass for one vein and one artery.” It may be an easy response but the theory does not click with me yet.

- Q: What Benefits Have You Experienced From Working With CCO?
- A: free practice tests on CPC exam; Blitz Videos; monthly Q and A webinar
- Q: What Specific Results Have You Gained From The Education At CCO ?
- A: gained CPC credential and my ICD-10 proficiency completed; confidence in my Medical Coding skills and efficiency
- Q: Does CCO Training Help You In your Career or Your Work Place? Does It Save You Time Or Money?
- A: My training at CCO has not only given me the tools to pass my CPC and ICD-10 requirements but they have given me the confidence that I am worth more in my career. I have saved money using CCO instead of paying the normal college level prices for courses in Anatomy and Physiology and Medical Terminology. I loved the fact that the time I spent with the lectures from CCO was all based on my own time and that I could hear each module as many times as I needed too. Teresa O’Mally CPC
