Hey Victoria, would you consider doing a practice video for embolization/occlusion and catheter placements CPT coding? Love your videos, this channel has helped so much I can't even express how thankful I am for you uploading haha I'm currently going through the AAPC for a CPC / CPB certifications. Your channel has been a HUGE help while I'm learning! Unfortunately I'm having a really hard time studying for certain sections, for example I can't seem to get my head around CPT coding for embolization/occlusion and catheter placements. For anyone thinking about going this same route: it really is worth it to spend a little bit more and get the course that has an instructor! I'm a huge penny pincher and am definitely suffering for it now haha

I worked in healthcare for about 5 years as a CNA. Does that count towards relevant experience for this? It has been about 4 years since I have been in the medical field as I got my Cosmetology license but I am looking into medical coding for something more reliable. Also does preppy count as an AHIMA or AAPC cert?

Wat are the difference between modifiers and icd 10
@ContempoCoding2 күн бұрын
Modifiers and ICD-10 codes serve different purposes in medical billing. Modifiers are two-character codes added to procedure codes (CPT/HCPCS) to provide extra details, such as indicating a more complex procedure or a repeat service. In contrast, ICD-10 codes are alphanumeric and describe diagnoses and medical conditions, ensuring standardized documentation of diseases and health conditions worldwide. Essentially, modifiers explain "how" a procedure was performed, while ICD-10 codes explain "why" the procedure was necessary.

Do you have any videos about how to take notes for the exam?
@ContempoCoding2 күн бұрын
I don't have specific videos on note-taking for the CPC exam because focusing on making extensive notes can be counterproductive. It's more effective to understand the concepts and learn how to efficiently use the coding books during the exam. This strategy will help you navigate the questions more quickly and accurately than relying on notes.

Hey! If you get your CPC through AAPC or AHIMA, it's a total maybe for inpatient or outpatient hospitals hiring you. Inpatient hospitals might prefer more specialized certs like CIC or CCS, but it really depends on the employer. Good luck!
