CPC, COC, CCS-P EXAM PREP IN 2021 - MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM.

[@cassa7267]

I passed my CPC exam thanks to the content of this channel. I was able to get a better understanding of the material compared to the CPC online course. I took my exam March 30th & 31st and got my reson April 1st. Thank you Mr. Nguyen for your content. It has really made a difference and I hope to see more content regarding other certifications if possible or maybe you'll consider being an instructor for AAPC. You've been a great help for many. I'd prefer your teaching method than the AAPC online course. Thank you once again!

Great video and good practice to get accustomed to using the index and verifying the tabular list(s). Thank you!

[@codingwithhoang]

Hi Vinil. You got it. The more you do the more you will familiar with the main term to use for each procedure. When you are working, the physician will not give you "multiple choice" to choose, you have to read their operative report and search for the right code to use. Beside, if you take the CCS or CCS-P coding exam from AHIMA, you need to search for code(s), they don't give you multiple choice option and that's why it is somewhat difficult to pass. Thank you for your comment and support.

[@codingwithhoang]

Hi Rasheed. If that is the case, then I would attach modifier 52 (reduced service) to CPT 20664. Modifier 52 is used to indicate partial reduction. The modifier provides a means for reporting reduced service without changing the identification of the basic service. I hope it helps.

Hi Hoang, hope your having a wonderful day. I was wondering if you have anything on Risk Adjustment? I’m in that field but when taking the CRC exam, I’m off by a few points. If you have any tips or advice, that would be much appreciated. Love your videos! You remind me of my math teach who teaches sooooo well that makes you memorized and understand what your learning. Everyone can teaches and talk their ass off, but the questions is, do your students gets it? Thank again for your wonderful videos

Hi Nstar. I am sorry to hear that you just missed a few points. I really want to help you but I have never taken that exam and don't have the CRC credential in order to give you a good advice. Thank you so much for your kind words. I wish I could help. Can you find people who passed that exam in any forum or community online and ask for advice. I believe you will pass it next time because you are so closed to pass. Good luck Nstar!

[@Nstar1022]

@@codingwithhoang Good morning, I’ve asked members on the AAPC FB page but had only one person who answered my questions, I’m guessing CRC is pretty new to a lot of people. That person told me to ask a coach. I’ve looked on different websites and payed APPC & CCO for any practice exams but when it comes to the test I’m not understanding why I kept on getting it wrong. Some of the questions on the CRC exam is not even mention on the study guide or practice exam through AAPC. I went over and over and over on that subject that I’m missing a few points on. I’ve taken the test at least six time and missing it by few points. I’m talking about one to five points off on every other exam. It’s very frustrating, not sure who to turn to. Thank you for believing in me. I’m going to continue to search for help before I take my seventh exam. By the way a lot of members on AAPC FB recommend other members to watch your videos. Thank you again for your free videos, we appreciate all your help and knowledge you share with everyone!

I understand some guidelines have changed but I hoped to be able to just make note of those where they need to be in order to just use my 2020 books I have. Thank you!

[@codingwithhoang]

Hi Laura. You can purchase the CPT and ICD-10-CM books on Amazon or do a google search and find where you can find the best deal for these two books and make sure they are 2021 version. Since you already did your HIT so you can purchase a practice exam book and practice coding in addition to watching all of my videos, then you should be ready for the exam. Good luck with your study!

My advice to you is that first watch my videos and get to know the procedure and understand what they are for, the main terms to look them up. Second, watch my videos about CPC exam prep to learn my tips and strategies. When you are done with these two main objectives that I mentioned above then you think about the other things.

Good Evening Lori, I just completed and passed the online exam. I wouldn't suggest wasting time writing on the white board. You will need every second! May I suggest the following: at the top of the white board, write A B C D, as you eliminate two, note an "X" under the appropriate letter (so that you are not constantly wasting time writing and erasing A, B, C, D, write it once). If your CPT book is highlighted and underlined in the correct manner, and you understand the guidelines, you will be ok. I hope this helps. Good luck.
