For number four, I want to share my shortcut. I saw that the Dx was for cancer (malignant neoplasm), so I was able to knock b and d off right away since the ICD-10-CM code of D49.0 is for a neoplasm of unspecified behavior (not Dx'd as cancerous). When I see the terms "cancer" or "malignant/malignancy" etc. and there are some answers without C codes, I eliminate them right away. So, then all I had to do was look up the cancer Dx's. I didn't even have to crack the CPT book.

As a military spouse I was offered a grant to take a course to be certified in lots of different things. I did my research on what was offered on tik tok and found you on there. You inspired me to choose medical coding and billing! So grateful you have a channel I can follow to help me prepare for my exam. I don't know anyone where I live who could help me study. I'm graduating with a bachelors in education that I don't wanna do so I'm really excited to have a 2nd option for a career. You're awesome and the way you explain things is easy to follow!

[@ContempoCoding]

Some of them can be pretty lengthy! They usually throw a dozen or so long cases in the exam. The key with the exam is to start looking at the answer first so you know how to narrow down what you're looking for in the note.

Victoria, I love your videos! I will be taking my test in PGH, PA will it be on paper or computer? I really like to circle and cross things out. Also, does the test tell you when you need to use a Guideline, I am really stumbling on them? Thanks, Amy

[@ContempoCoding]

Hi Amy! It will be on paper. You'll have a test booklet and a bubble grid (it looks like the last page on this link: static.aapc.com/ppdf/Exm-ProctorInstructions-WPE9.pdf) to fill in your answers. You can write whatever you want in the test booklet -- I think they just recycle them when they get back to the AAPC. They won't tell you in the exam when to look for a guideline, but often will give you answer options based on the guidelines. For example, option B and C may be the same except for in a different order, and you need to know what the sequencing guidelines are to get the right answer.

I just took and passed my CPC exam, and there is not enough time to look up codes in the Alphabetical Index! I tried on the practice exams and there was no way I'd make it trying to look everything up in the index. You can for a few, but I'd recommend getting used to looking up codes and eliminating the wrong answers. We'll have plenty of time during work to use the indices.

[@M7890V]

@@QueenD08 I'll say that they are grouped together by topic, but not in order. I took it online so it was split into two sections. My first section was all over the place, while the second section was mostly pathology and lab. Don't forget to study vocabulary. Those are also the shortest questions and can end up saving you a lot of time if you've studied them. Med terminology, the first chapter of the textbook, anatomy, etc...

To ensure you're choosing the correct code, you'll use coding books like the ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS manuals, which provide detailed guidelines and instructions for code selection. Many coders also use online coding tools or references like encoders to double-check their work and ensure accuracy.
