I have never heard of an IMEX study so it might be that you have the word wrong.

Imex? study - Mel

The patient has peripheral vascular disease. The Plan in the report reads "Will perform IMEX?? study as the patient has not had an IMEX?? by her report in the last year."

sorry stumped too. see note - ddd

common tests for PAD would include ABI (ankle brachial indices), Lower extremity ultrasound, lower extremity angiography, MRI angiography....can you hear anything like those?

guessing shorthand? see note - ddd

Just a guess...but I wonder if the dictator is talking in shorthand for IM-imaging EX-extremities.

Imex? - Mel

No ABI, MRI, etc. Dictation was clear as could be sounded just like IMEX. Thanks anyway !

Imex doppler is a hand-held doppler for imaging arteries and veins in patients with peripheral artery disease. Also used for obtaining ABI (arterial brachical index) in larger patients.

Study Should Be Done
Jan 27, 2012

I think if a study were done, findings would show that the tediousness and repetitiveness and intricacy of the editing required for this particular ASR will slowly but surely drive you insane.  I am so nervous, I chew gum like a wild woman (and now need my second crown which I cannot afford), have developed tics and skin picking, and eat voraciously --- due to editing.  Flame away, but I have typed for 25+ years and never had a problem (actually enjoyed my job); however, after 5 or so ...

Apr 25, 2010

I'd like to begin studying medical coding on my own to see if it it's a match iin terms of learning and liking the field.

And for people who have done this on your own, what did you include in a program of study for yourself? Are there some areas that you feel an in-house course is needed?  Replies greatly app ...

Usual story -- I loved MT, but I'm about to be laid off and know another MT job would probably pay minimum wage (if that!).  I'm lucky, in that I'll get enough unemployment to live on and will probably still have enough savings to pay tuition.  However, I have no preexisting college degree, and both unemployment and tuition money will only stretch to about 5 quarters. I've already passed the CPC exam once, can brush up and pass it again.  My local co ...
