[@lomurray4069]

Thank you. I am coping and pasting this to several people., who helped me. I got my results today. I took my test yesterday evening. I made a 91. The test was big , but the biggest issue were the proctors. The day before the test. I had to change my strategy. That increased my time. I used the small plastic tabs to separate my answers instead of writing them on the board. I may have used the board maybe 10 times., mostly during E/M section. I am so glad I thought of using the tabs to separate my answers. Due to not having to use the board so much, I was able to finish with a few minutes to spare each time. The test seemed slightly easier online than in the study guide. I had maybe 4 questions that I had to use the parenthesis “do not use with”. The answers mostly were on the same page. You had to know your “ body parts and approach” to get to it. The 2nd proctor interrupted me and I was going to get 3 of the first 5 questions wrong had I not had time go and read them again. My passing or failing would have determined if I had complained about her. It was a marathon for sure.

[@reaganbrackett562]

I'm having a problem with this too, but I've found that a CPC-A will at least give you the ability to get other desirable certifications without needing prior experience. The COC certification is a high paying certification that is desirable by the standards of many hospitals and clinics. It normally requires two years of experience but having the CPC-A certificate waves that requirement. You can also get the CIC and CMPA without needing prior experience. I feel that the more certifications you hold, the more likely you'll be able to catch a job in that field without needing a ton of experience.

HI codemaster coach, i did some practice tests with my courses in my career cetificate program and timed myself, but i found myself just looking up the codes directly instead of looking up the words first and had to do that and that ends up being my strategy like whever i look up any CPT codes and ICD 10 codes because if i did that for every single question, it seems ok mostly but if i did that to every question i spend like 5 -10 mins on each question than 4 mins on each quesiton and i wasted precious time.

Everytime I think I have E & M figured out, I get confused again. My book says that the History is Expanded Problem Focused. The HPI is brief, the ROS is problem specific, and the PSFH is none. How can it be Expanded Problem Focused when the history is determined by the lowest category documented? Also, in Components of an Examination, I counted 6 systems, so I put Detailed. What is the difference in a body system, basic systems (is this body areas?), and detailed systems? Also, can you explain Medical Decision Making? Just when I think I understand it all, I come up with the wrong answer. HELP!!!!! I will go back and watch all of your E &M videos again.

Thank you coach!! Love your channel. Are there resources/courses that can help me code/bill for a family medicine practice? Going to work as practice manager (also the billing guy) at my sister’s practice. Seems that all the certifications (CCS, CCA, CPC) cover more than what I need to know. Looking for simpler coding courses just for family med. Appreciate your thought.

The CPC certification is the entry level certification, so preparing for that certification exam would be exactly what you need for family medicine practice. Also, don't forget to really look into some billing courses as well so that you can track the money.

Thanks for your insights! I was thinking if there are some sort of crash course (easier than CPC) that are just enough for family medicine practice. I don’t need any certification for job hunting as it’s a family business. Do you still think CPC is the way to go?

This may be a dumb question but I wanted to know if being a medical coder comes in handy outside of the office in any way.

[@codemastercoach6636]

The knowledge that I gain in my daily work as a coder helps me to better understand whats going on with my family and friends as they describe conditions they are experiencing.

I have a question? I passed my AHIMA examination for CBCS. I wanted to know an honest opinion do you think it matter what credentials you have for billing? I have worked close to people in the field that didn't have any credentials at all. The company trained them and I felt many ways. I felt like school was a waste of time and money for me. Then other employers would ask for so much experience for you to have. I would still fill out for the position and get denied. Can you give any advice?

[@codemastercoach6636]

Becoming, I'm not familiar with the billing certifications. So, i'm not much help.

Guys whats a good school to go to for coding? I tried it before at a community college and it was a total fail. I dont think online learning is for me. The material is way too complicated for that.

Hi CodeMaster, If I want to prepare for the CCS exam, can I apply to be a member and prepare for the exam on the AAPC website?

[@codemastercoach6636]

No, Ngoc Lam. The CCS exam is through AHIMA. So you will have to go to WWW. AHIMA.org to apply for that test.

Must all of the books be of the current year?

[@codemastercoach6636]

If you are planning to sit for certification, yes they all must be current.

[@Dmiche02]

CodeMaster Coach So, new books are to be bought every year? I ask because I bought a used 2016 cpt book. Is it outdated? The bottom line is when I become certified how far back can the books go?

[@codemastercoach6636]

If you sit for an exam in 2019, you must have all 2019 code books.

[@gracief3242]

Do you sell the books?

[@codemastercoach6636]

No I don't. I compare prices between Amazon.com and AAPC. Whichever gives the best price is the one I purchase from.
