Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Codes

good content, although feel like there should be an updated version as this was from 2022

i liked the instructors pace and style.

difficulty maneuvering within the website and accessing account. it has taken a week off to finish 4 hours of ceu.

the course was geared more towards outpatient. i work in a snf unit. still informative.

lots of good information

i'm not sure why the course had to be an additional 15-20 minutes at the end just replaying the part about telehealth. felt like a bit of a waste of our time. if that interested could have just rewound and watched myself.

would like to have had more peds examples

i appreciated use of various codes in different situations.

the video repeated itself for the last 5-10 minutes starting at the rtm section.

the statement "insurance is for sick people" is wrong on many levels. for instance, the purpose of health insurance for the buyer is actually to promote their own health, not just cure a later sickness. i've never met a person who wanted to get sick so they could use their health insurance... if (often, non-existent nowadays) preventative programs helps maintain our health by reducing the sickness of buyers, then it would seem like all parties could benefit. the person\/patient certainly would. the insurance company would also make more money (one of the reasons for medical insurance from their perspective) to the degree they are paying out less money. and society would benefit, too. also, it's fair to point out that many people don't get health insurance as it's too expensive or the government wants to spend the money previously allotted to that elsewhere (lately, maybe for tax cuts for many of the same wealthy individuals a dept within the irs used to investigate, which the proposal is now to defund entirely). where this gets particularly complicated is that with how money is now legally able to buy influence (and thus shape social values), laws can be written to benefit particular companies (in fact, some companies actually write the laws and then submit the draft to the politician in question!) the impact of this, in part, is that nutrition regulations can take a nose dive, the same company that owns a food company facilitating the metabolic syndrome mentioned in the video at the root of so many of our diseases may also own the health insurance companies. so, saying a healthcare insurance company has a vested monetary interest (as some might) to keep their clients healthy to avoid paying for cancer treatment etc that could have been avoided - a free market argument - no longer make much sense. i write this as i think it's important to challenge conventional thinking, at times. many times, the conventional theory a person finds so ever-present and handy - and we're so eager to subscribe to - is merely something bought\/paid for by a large company with an eye only towards their own financial interests. this sort of thinking is what causes healthcare in the us to rank so low globally while we spend so much more on it in comparison to other countries, as well as leading to the early deaths of millions of people.
