@MedicalCodingByJen Great infor! What if my ICD-10 book is different from yours. I don't have the "eye" that says, see GL. Also, the 3rd way you showed is not in my book. I have the OPTUM book

ok cool, so we can write down important page numbers in our coding books? I'll most likely be doing a lot of that

Hi, it’s very interesting to see so many types of questions and cases being worked on, with so much information and videos out there, which one of your video or playlist would you recommend a newbie like me to start watching in order to get a foundational understanding?

Glad you enjoyed it! I have an organized list in a room posted in our free discord study group discord.gg/4MTRdn2nMw

Omg i watch your videos for the test. However i take the course for my CPC at the Aapc and the test you fill in i am so discouraged i been in Cardia for 3 months because i am afraid of taking the section test were i fill them out myself of failing. To the point i want to quit it and take the loss. The reports we dissect or so complex you probably should of took a coding course before taking the aapc i think they forget i am beginner 6 diagnosis on some 3 procedures if it has a guideline that op report you looking at has ever single one. And sequencing if it not the same order forget it they are all wrong. I end of up so confused🤦🏻‍♀️how do i know precise sequencing i am new at this. I been in this book since November of last year and still cant get it. Great to pass just straight answers if their all there

First of all, I want to say that it's incredible you've been dedicated to your studies and practice for so long. It's completely normal to feel discouraged at times, especially with something as complex as medical coding. Here are a few steps and tips that might help you move forward: Break Down the Material: Try breaking down the material into smaller, more manageable sections. Focus on one section at a time rather than the entire test. Practice Regularly: Practice coding daily, even if it's just for a short period. The more you practice, the more familiar you will become with the process and the guidelines. Use Resources: Don't hesitate to use all available resources. Online forums, videos, and study groups can provide different perspectives and explanations that might resonate with you. Seek Help: If certain sections or concepts are particularly challenging, consider reaching out to a mentor or tutor who can provide one-on-one help. Review Guidelines: Spend some time each day reviewing coding guidelines and conventions. These are critical for sequencing diagnoses and procedures correctly. Stay Positive: Remember why you started this journey. Every coder was once a beginner, and it's okay to make mistakes while learning. Take Breaks: Make sure to give yourself breaks to avoid burnout. A clear mind will help you understand and retain information better. Join Study Groups: Sometimes, discussing complex reports and coding scenarios with peers can provide new insights and help you understand difficult concepts better. Simulate Test Conditions: Practice with mock tests under timed conditions to get used to the exam format and pressure. This can also help with time management during the actual exam. Remember, everyone learns at their own pace, and it's okay to feel challenged. You've already shown great dedication by sticking with your studies since November. Keep pushing forward, and don't hesitate to seek support when needed. Best of luck with your studies and the CPC exam. You've got this!

I was told in my course that when you take the exam they look at your books and you’re not allowed to have tabs or a lot of notes written throughout…is that true?

@medicalcodingbyjen 11 ай бұрын

Only if you take your exam OUTSIDE THE USA like in DUBAI is no notes allowed. Any exam you take in the USA online at home or at a testing center allows notes. They are your books, write what you want in the available space inside your manuals. I have won prizes from AAPC for my notes. People just like to spread misinformation sometimes. Do not tab your books, they get in the way. Check out AAPC website for full instructions.

It's amazing how making notes and reviewing the guidelines this way helps me to remember. It really does work. And it boosts confidence, so you don't panic during exams.
