Tips for learning medical coding guidelines fast and efficiently for your certification exam

My advice:
- Process of elimination!!
- work on your speed
- Study sequencing
- Fix CPT sequencing issue
- Coding irregularities
- Similarities with possible answer
- Headers before CPT codes
TIP: Pause video-look up answer codes-Play video for question ONCE you have one-word differences/HEADERs-Pause to find your own answer to the question by SKIMMING question-Play video to get answer. MAKE NOTES beside codes of key terms or prob DX or scenarios to help.

I watched the first 2 minutes and am so grateful to you dear Jen, you are very hardworking! God bless you!! Thank you for clarification.

[@medicalcodingbyjen]

You are so welcome!

[@kristyhunter1981]

I test one July 1st so I really needed this tip. Thank you, Jen!

[@medicalcodingbyjen]

I am so glad you found this helpful!

[@robinson2589]

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

[@daniellejohnson3814]

Something I really struggle on, is knowing anatomy and what exactly each procedure is/does.. not sure if you could do anything with anatomy

[@robinson2589]

i feel the same im a new coding student im looking into anatomy posters and the anatomy institute on youtube is good.. bcz i am a visual learner

[@VibewithJessica]

@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

[@Zkiez]

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?

[@medicalcodingbyjen]

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

[@annabrasuhn5598]

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

[@jdmaine919]

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.

[@medicalcodingbyjen]

Thank you for saying so!

[@bj_ohnson]

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]

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.

[@bj_ohnson]

@@medicalcodingbyjen thank you so much

[@MiaBellz]

Thank you so much for this explanation - I’m always overwhelmed with guidelines but this tip is so helpful!💖

[@medicalcodingbyjen]

You are so welcome!
