Interactive Sample Lessons
Try real CodeBestie scenarios — compliance, clinical coding, and documentation logic.
Detective Challenge: Find the Red Flags
Tap every compliance risk hidden inside this case.
A 58-year-old patient presents for a routine follow-up.

• “Stable today, same as last visit — copy forward.”
• Physical exam identical to prior note.
• One chronic condition updated: “Doing well.”
• Prescribed new controlled medication without assessment.
• Time spent: “40 minutes” (template auto-filled).

Your task: Identify ALL red-flag compliance issues.
Copy-forward documentation without updates
Exam cloned with no changes
New controlled medication prescribed without assessment
Time statement appears auto-generated / not supported
Patient has chronic conditions
40 minutes is an acceptable visit length

1. What is PHI?
Only diagnosis information
Any identifiable health information
Only paper medical records
Only billing data
PHI includes all identifiable medical + demographic information.
2. True or False: HIPAA allows staff to access any patient chart if they are curious.
True
False
Access must follow the Minimum Necessary Standard.
3. Minimum Necessary Standard means:
Only access the PHI needed for your job
Access full charts at all times
Save PHI for future use
Share PHI with coworkers freely
HIPAA restricts access to only what is needed.
4. The primary diagnosis is:
The main reason for the encounter
The most severe condition
Whatever is chronic
The diagnosis with highest RVUs
Primary diagnosis is tied to the purpose of the visit.
5. A coder must ensure documentation:
Matches the provider’s memory
Supports the codes reported
Is identical to last visit
Contains all symptoms ever reported
Coding requires documentation that supports each code.
Mini Case 1: Patient reports sharp right ankle pain after twisting it yesterday. What is the primary diagnosis?
Chronic ankle pain
Acute ankle injury
Gait abnormality
Swelling, unspecified
Acute injury best represents the reason for the encounter.
Mini Case 2: Cough × 3 days, fever 101°F, wheezing, crackles.
No definitive diagnosis is made at this time.

What is the correct ICD-10-CM primary diagnosis?
R50.9 – Fever, unspecified
R05.9 – Cough, unspecified
R06.2 – Wheezing
R09.89 – Other specified symptoms involving circulatory and respiratory systems
No confirmed diagnosis was documented, so symptoms must be coded. The primary diagnosis is cough unless the provider designates another chief complaint.
Mini Case 3: Medication refill for stable hypertension. Primary diagnosis?
I10 – Essential hypertension
Z76.0 – Issue of repeat prescription
R42 – Dizziness
R94.31 – Abnormal EKG
Chronic condition being treated/managed = I10.
Retake Exam
Advanced Coding Scenario
Real-world complexity. Instant feedback.
CASE:

A 62-year-old patient with long-standing type 2 diabetes presents with non-healing ulcers on the left foot. Provider documents:

• Diabetic foot ulcer with fat layer exposed
• Associated peripheral angiopathy
• Surgical debridement to subcutaneous tissue
• Wound size: 4 cm²
