I’ve followed you for a year. Thank you for keeping things real and raw. You’ve been right all along. I can’t believe things started clicking around 9 months of studying day in and day out ❤

[@heather_nicole_05]

Thanks for the pep talk! Everything that is new is hard to learn! Ya just gotta find the motivation to get through it until it becomes habit, and you learn and understand quicker!

[@fajardo-kirkfamily169]

You are definitely correct about that Bleu! In the Philippines, some of the medical coding companies require you to be a Registered Nurse or at least Bachelor’s degree with CPC or CCS to get hired as a medical coder

[@princessnprincessinc]

You are so correct! Includes, Excludes, and, for, with bleh! Thank you for reminding about the guidelines! I SHOULD BE reviewing weekly. I needed to hear that. Thank you !

[@angelarobertson7004]

Thank Bleu! I agree with you on reading the pages for the first vs going through them again. It’s completely different 😊

[@bessiecooney1692]

Thanks!

[@lawandacoatley719]

Thankyou Bleu❤

[@christinamarie6281]

This was a fantastic, encouraging and inspiring video. I needed this today!! Thankful I found your channel.

[@Ruth-vy1qj]

Blue I just want tell you I ❤ur caring teaching style. I can you ❤what you do. Unfortunately,some schools/teachers don’t care or don’t know how to teach. I’m in good school for almost a mth in last 2 days I know have basic understanding of CPT. I’m going make habit reading the guidelines daily. May God continue to bless you in every way for ur gift.

[@racheldeboest6689]

Hi Bleu! I love your content and thank you for it! I have watched a number of your videos and you say you’ve already explained how to listen to the guidelines so you won’t explain again. Could you tell me which video you’ve explained it so I can reference to it? I tried searching your videos but haven’t found it. I would love to be able to listen while I am doing other tasks as well as reading the guidelines. I’ve also tried Google but I am not having any luck finding an audio source.

[@dkish4]

Hi Bleu, Thank you very much for the very constructive video. I checked the Optum website for the ICD -10- CM for this year and it is for Physcian. Is this the right one. Thank you

[@annamarschik5613]

Could you link the video you mentioned how to listen to coding guidelines on? This was my first video of yours to watch and I think listening to them would help me!

[@MedicalCodingwithBleu]

No. Keep watching, you will find it.

[@bessiecooney1692]

Blue have been on here awhile but now I’m back studying for this exam dec 29th, can I use rhe 2024 book for this exam now or will I need the 2025 book? Also what should I watch of your channels to help me pass this? I have so much information that a truly respect and confident in you videos. But can you throw me a bone on this to help me pass this? I failed the first one a year ago. Also do you have a video on how to text? Like process of elimination or rid bits to help with it? Like I said I been studying off and on for year been buffing oasis charts soc/rocs/recerts and discharges and forms for clinicians assigning primary and secondary with mscores guidance. So I just need a boost for studying to be ready in 18 days. Test taking help, videos from you that will enhance what I know. I’m going you see this and reply in time. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you in advance

[@pearlaudelo1366]

Do you give classes? I'm going to be graduating soon and DNT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING 😢

[@bessiecooney1692]

With my comment above I am an Rn of 13 years and doing home health utilization review and now needing to start coding. My exam is Dec 29th and I need to pass. I’m willing to put 6 hours a day to pass this I got the basics but failed the first time with a 66 on my exam. What videos should I focus on from you. Please help me here ty! Bess Rn in Florida
