I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your videos!!! It helped me so much getting ready for my exam and I'm happy to say that I pass with a 81%. Thanks again and keep those videos coming.
My first attempt was a few months ago with unmedicated ADHD. I've since been officially diagnosed and medicated, so I'm hopeful my second attempt will go better. I found your tip about the markerboard really helpful. I'm scheduled for a proctored exam, but they provide paper and pencil for whatever reason. I will be utilizing them this time.
I just passed my CPC on the FIRST TRY! I bought your prep course and corresponding study guides/practice exam. Thank you so very much for your content!!!! ♥️
I’ve studied two semesters of medical terminology in college years ago and did quite well. I’ve worked on the periphery of the medical field for years. I can’t deny this completely overwhelmed me. Coding would be way beyond my comprehension. This is an extremely complex field even for someone who has had years of exposure to the medical field.
Your videos are so helpful. Thanks so much for producing this content for free for students and people in general. Honestly this is more helpful than my current coding course that I am in which lacks much clarification or tips. You do very well at explaining and clarifying everything which is definitely a skill.
Victoria, thank you so much for all of your videos. I just graduated with my AS in medical billing and coding at the end of May. I took the online AAPC CPC exam on Wednesday and Thursday and I passed!! All of your content is super helpful!! Thank you, I couldn’t have done it without your videos.
I took a Chapter review exam online today for my AAPC CPC course. I was able to work so much faster having watched your video yesterday. Thanks Victoria!!!
YOU ARE AN ACTUAL ANGEL!!!! I love the way you explain things and break things down. This is actually my first video I watched and I cannot wait to see what else you can teach me. I was starting to feel very discouraged for a little bit thinking I would never be able to pass the exam. After finding your videos, im feeling excited again. Thank you so much
Hi Victoria. I just got the result that I passed the CPC test! Thank you for the notes and the suggestions before the test. You are awesome!! Love your videos. They are super helpful!
I don’t comment on anyone’s video. You’re actually the first, but you deserve a HUGE THANK YOU!!!! I took my CPC exam last week and your videos helped me tremendously! I’m not the fastest reader and I have terrible test anxiety, but because of your tips and process of elimination strategies, I was able to relax during my exam, complete the test with time to spare (which I used to make sure the answers I circled in my test packet matched the answers on my scantron sheet 😝), and pass with a score of 80%!!! Bless you, Victoria!! 💖 You rock!! 🙌🤗😎
Thank you so much for all your videos . I just recently took my CPC exam and just found out I passed on the second attempt and it was all thanks to your videos and helpful tricks because I’m a bad test taker and hard for me to self teach. So thank you!! You are the best !!!
Wow! You are so knowledgeable and informative. It's nice having someone break it down clearly (and especially your other coding example videos - which I love). I just recently found your channel and I'm very grateful for it. Thank you for sharing! I was following another coder for a while for tips and it was honestly a little overwhelming. So, I really appreciate your approach and you've been so helpful! I do have a question I was hoping to get your advice on - I graduated from a 15-month medical coding program at my local community college in the summer of 2020. I had to wait due to covid to take an exam, so a little time as passed. My plan is to study/practice and then take the exam in March or April. I'm not working right now, so I have a lot of time to study/practice. My issue is I've become a member of Ahima and planned on taking the CCS originally. However, the more I've practiced, I've noticed that I do better with the CPT book on getting coding answers correct. Although, I've read that it's better to be credentialed with a CCS vs a CPC. (The tests aren't cheap and I just want to make sure I'm taking the best test/path for me lol) What would you suggest for me to do if you were in my shoes?
Thank you so much for your advise! I'm taking my test this week. I wasn't very confident and started watching your videos last night and feel so much better about taking it. You explain thing so well!
So happy I found your channel. I took the CPC exam twice 6 years ago and failed both times. I have decided to try again but will be watching your videos first 😊
With all of your help over the last 6 months through very informative and practical videos, I was able to pass my CPC exam last week. I can't wait to wear my Medical Coder sweatshirt from your apparel merchandise line. I will continue to follow you. Thank you for all of your help.
I am taking the exam in a couple weeks. What is you best advice?? I am really nervous about it. I have medical background but not necessarily with coding. I also purchased the practice exams from the AAPC website
Great advice Victoria. I am getting close to taking my CPC exam and I got every single one of your examples correct, which give me confidence in passing plus your great advice! Thanks so much for all you do and creating your amazing informative channel!😉
Thank you! I have been procrastinated in taking this exam for about 1 year. I just kept thinking there was no way I can understand all this material and pass with all these codes- even though I had been using some of these exam tips already. However, your videos make it easier to understand. I'm going to book my exam for next month and I AM going to pass. You have inspired me so much. I am going to watch all your videos and actually actively studying. Thank you!
Hi Victoria! Thank you so much for all the videos you do, they as super helpful! I just passed my CPC exam online with a 91% on the first try! I felt more prepared after watching your videos! Thank you again!
Thanks so much for your videos, help me a lot. I took my test online over the weekend for the second time. I passed with 83. I was so scared because my first language is Spanish and it takes me more time to understand the questions, but your tips help me to improve my time, thanks so much
Thank you! This is so helpful. I got my Diploma for Medical coding back in 2015. I want to get certified now so all this is useful information. Positive mindset. I will pass!
Thanks so much for your exam tips & videos! They helped calm my nerves before the exam. I took the exam in Dec. 2020 and failed by just a few points. I rescheduled and took the exam again March 2021 and passed!!! Just got my results today. Your videos gave me an idea of what to expect during the exams and really calmed my nerves. :)
@@ContempoCoding Thank you! I just noticed that I have 9 CEUs due by September when my membership expires.. I was surprised they were due that soon! What is the best way to get CEUs? Can I do them through AAPC website for the CPC-A?
all good! you gave it a shot and i’m sure you will pass it this time around. i’m contemplating a practice exam so that i can take it in december. did you take one or just simply studied for it?
I passed my CPC exam this week with an 83%!! Thank you for your helpful videos!! I found them just a week before I was scheduled to take the online exam and they realllllly helped me. I just want to tell everyone out there I felt Part 1 was much harder than part 2. Also, i did have some technical difficulties day 1(Itoolk my exams on 2 separate days) which threw me into a tailspin and I kind of froze up once the exam finally started. I forgot where to find information to some very simple questions so I know I got those 5 easy anatomy questions wrong. Try to just relax and pretend you are taking a practice exam. The proctor was silent and it felt like I was alone once the exam started.
I love this channel! It has put me at ease and letting me know what to do during the exam. I can't get enough of this information, wonderful and thank you so much! You are Great!
Very interesting! It sounds like the way I did chapter tests in AAPC, where I would look up BY the CPT or ICD codes, and write down "Not b," when I determined it wasn't answer b, or "Not b or c," it sounds like YOUR tips kind of agree with that! Of course, I need to "speed it up," and realize that I don't have 4.5 average minutes per question, when it comes to the AAPC final exam, or the REAL CPC exam. The white board tip is AWESOME. I was wondering whether I could have scratch paper if taking it at home, but the white board sounds like a life saver.
I graduated in April 2020 from Goodwin University 2020 and have forgotten so many basic things and am really trying to prepare for my CPC exam in a few months. Thank you so much for your videos.😇
Wow! I was really worried about taking this certification, but after watching your video, I know that I can pass this with no problem. Thank you so very much! I'm going to recommend this video to everyone in my college!!!!
I'm taking the CPC exam on Saturday. I have been watching your videos since I finished my courses from AAPC in August 2021. I have also been studying and taking practice exam since completing the course. I scheduled for the in-person exam because I want to be able to do my POE on paper. Although I took my courses online. I feel that there will be distraction that are unforeseen. As the day approaches I get nervous. But your videos are A GREAT BIG HELP!!!!!. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!
Victoria, I live in Seattle, and I am about to try to take the chapter test for Chapter 19, the E/M code. I still have three mountains to climb: Chapter 19, Chapter 20, and the AAPC Test. I welcome some "tough coaching:" On the REAL CPC exam, if I do my "write down the CPT or diagnosis codes of the four choices, and go by process of elimination" way, I WILL run out of time, bar none? One gets 2 hours to answer 25 questions in the AAPC chapter tests, but even their final exam cuts down the average time to 2-3 minutes one can allocate to every question.
Loving this channel. I am 32 and I have been filing medical records for 1 year. I decided that I want to take my career in the direction of coding. Your channel has been very helpful. I'm more sure than ever that this is something i can do and can enjoy doing for years to come. I love that this is a career with a lot of growth opportunity, and many different ways that i can choose to use these skill in the medical and insurance fields. I'm subscribing to keep reminding myself to not stop moving forward toward my goals.
Thank you love your videos...Im taking my CPC exam in July ...very nervous about it hopefully by then I will feel more confident listening to videos like yours 😁
Thank you for this video @contempocoding and the CPC exam medical coding concept videos. I followed along with each one in all my coding books again and again until I got the hang of navigating the book and I passed! Thank you so much for your channel you helped me understand all my assignments. Please do a video of constructing a code from scratch like ICD-10-PCS coding. I still struggle with those.
You are a good teacher! I have only been watching your videos for 2 days and learned so much. I will be taking the CPC exam soon. I will probably watch all of your videos in the next month or so. I will hit the like on all of them!
Thanks so much for these videos!! Im a bad test taker but you explained how to quickly work through the questions. I’m scheduled my exam for Feb 1st and 2nd! 💙
Hi friends. I just got the results that I passed my CPC exam and I am happy to say I passed with 83% all thanks to MR GEORGE for his materials this guy is awesome🤗 massage me on my inbox if intrested to get in touch with him
Thanks so much for the helpful tips on passing the exam! I passed on my first attempt. Taking a bunch of practice exams and timing myself was a huge help. Also starting from the back of the exam booklet and answering the easy questions first was a great tip. Thank you thank you!
I am taking the exam in a couple weeks. What is you best advice?? I am really nervous about it. I have medical background but not necessarily with coding.
Hi Victoria, I live near Lancaster also. I ordered AAPC books and taking their CPC exam, so can you please do more REAL case coding videos? You did one with a examples of start to finish cases on surgical coding, showing real cases and how you dissect them to find what needs coded. ALL of your videos are very helpful so thank you! Videos of dissecting cases is very RARE on you tube, I only found 3 videos!
I have my exam next month and honestly this video has made so much sense when it comes to strategic testing for this exam ! thank you for the HELPFUL TIPS!
@@RO-rv3fj My employer provided the books and we had a CPC instructor in the department. We met on a weekly basis with the CPC instructor but I also watched these videos to help me understand the material. I definitely watch every you tube video possible to help pass the CPC exam.
I will follow her strategy.I failed when Ai took my CPC exam because I keep reading and look tru the index every questions and I ran out of time.This video give me some ideas and motivate me again to take my CPC exam for the second time.
Thank you so much for all the tips and information. Your videos have been very helpful. :) I just recieved my exam results and passed my cpc exam on the first attempt!
I took my exam on Saturday and bombed. I was so overwhelmed. I was a 2020 reschedule due to Covid and just got in my own way. I already ordered your practice exam and will just continue to study. I think I'm going to try Optimum ICD book.
I just took mine for the first time yesterday, June 11, 2022. I'm in the painstaking stage of waiting for my score. I too, think I would have learned better from an in person coach, than taking it all online, but everyone has faced challenges because of COVID. I hope that you have since passed. I fear that I failed, and that 5 points would be the difference.
This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for your videos! When I pass my CPC test (on the first try) I'm going to order your #Medicalcoder t-shirt!! muhahaha!
Good afternoon Victoria. I love your commentary. You are helping me more than you realize. Your cpc review is extremely helpful and I can't wait to take your crc course. Keep up the good work.

You bet, Paula! It's funny how just knowing little things ahead of time like not throwing away your shrink wrap can make examinees feel a little more comfortable.
@@ourhalfdozenrvlife5839 I haven’t been able to take it since there’s none in my area at this moment and I can’t take the online one 😩 So it’s pretty much a waiting game for me
Hi, Im barely in my program, and it's online, so its a bit difficult for me. I'm doing the outpaitent CPC training. Just want to know how the process goes after all my training and certifications. Where do I sign up after for a membership, and where to take the test.
Glad I watched this. I'm not used to seeing CPT procedure codes listed before diagnosis codes. That would have really thrown me off if I didn't know about it ahead of time. And I tabbed the E/M grid too. THANKS!
This was so helpful you cleared up some major confusion I had. I'm watching everything you have on coding cuz I feel like after I do I'll be a MFing pro!!
@@ContempoCoding Thank you. I did purchase the extended practice exams for each individual section. I got a 69 so I think if I can fine tune I'll be good. Great video though.
i failed by 2% 4 years ago and never bothered and switched to another field. tempted to relearn medical coding again and start over to prepare again. Not sure where to start
Iam from ,I am started my job four months back and want to write cpc exam and in Google it is showing around 57k for cpc according to Indian currency and as if we write cpc exam online how many chances can I have and direct how many I will have? Plzzzzzzzzzzzz answer

You are a good teacher! I have only been watching your videos for 2 days and learned so much. I will be taking the CPC exam soon. I will probably watch all of your videos in the next month or so. I will hit the like on all of them!
Thanks so much for these videos!! Im a bad test taker but you explained how to quickly work through the questions. I’m scheduled my exam for Feb 1st and 2nd! 💙
Awesome! Hopefully this helped put you a little more at ease! Definitely follow up and let me know how it goes with the exam!!
@@ContempoCoding I passed the exam the first attempt. ☺️
I'm preparing for 2022 CPC... To be true you really motivated me.
Hi friends. I just got the results that I passed my CPC exam and I am happy to say I passed with 83% all thanks to MR GEORGE for his materials this guy is awesome🤗 massage me on my inbox if intrested to get in touch with him
Thanks so much for the helpful tips on passing the exam! I passed on my first attempt. Taking a bunch of practice exams and timing myself was a huge help. Also starting from the back of the exam booklet and answering the easy questions first was a great tip. Thank you thank you!
Hi, congratulations 🎉
How long have you been studying for the exam?
I am taking the exam in a couple weeks. What is you best advice?? I am really nervous about it. I have medical background but not necessarily with coding.
I did purchase the practice exams from the AAPC website to use
Hi Victoria, I live near Lancaster also. I ordered AAPC books and taking their CPC exam, so can you please do more REAL case coding videos? You did one with a examples of start to finish cases on surgical coding, showing real cases and how you dissect them to find what needs coded. ALL of your videos are very helpful so thank you! Videos of dissecting cases is very RARE on you tube, I only found 3 videos!
I have my exam next month and honestly this video has made so much sense when it comes to strategic testing for this exam ! thank you for the HELPFUL TIPS!
I just found out I passed my CPC exam (1st attempt). Thank you for making these videos, they helped me feel prepared. 😀
Congratulations!! Did you purchase the AAPC course? Or did you just study in your own? I’m so lost. Don’t know where to begin. The AAPC is 3000+.
@@RO-rv3fj My employer provided the books and we had a CPC instructor in the department. We met on a weekly basis with the CPC instructor but I also watched these videos to help me understand the material. I definitely watch every you tube video possible to help pass the CPC exam.
@@pmaldo94 thank you
Wow your explanation is so beautiful
I will follow her strategy.I failed when Ai took my CPC exam because I keep reading and look tru the index every questions and I ran out of time.This video give me some ideas and motivate me again to take my CPC exam for the second time.
Good luck!!
I just came across your channel and I excited to binge watch a few more of your videos over then next few days as I prepare for my exam.
Thanks for helping quell my test anxieties. At least I now know what to expect and will be checking out your other videos. (especially E&M)
I'm getting ready to take the AAPC test-CPC soon. Wish me luck! 🤞 I'm certain I'll remember what you've said here. Thank you!
Thank you for this. I take the first half of the exam on Friday. This helped a lot.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much for all the tips and information. Your videos have been very helpful. :)
I just recieved my exam results and passed my cpc exam on the first attempt!
That's awesome, Rachael! Congrats to you!!
I am scheduled to take my first CPC exam on the 10/17/2021. I have been watching your videos and they are really very helpful.
How did you do? :)
Thank you for your help, I have been nervous about taken this test.
I took my exam on Saturday and bombed. I was so overwhelmed. I was a 2020 reschedule due to Covid and just got in my own way. I already ordered your practice exam and will just continue to study. I think I'm going to try Optimum ICD book.
I just took mine for the first time yesterday, June 11, 2022. I'm in the painstaking stage of waiting for my score. I too, think I would have learned better from an in person coach, than taking it all online, but everyone has faced challenges because of COVID. I hope that you have since passed. I fear that I failed, and that 5 points would be the difference.
This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for your videos! When I pass my CPC test (on the first try) I'm going to order your #Medicalcoder t-shirt!! muhahaha!
excellent infomation thankyou for sharing us!
Glad it was helpful!
Good afternoon Victoria. I love your commentary. You are helping me more than you realize. Your cpc review is extremely helpful and I can't wait to take your crc course. Keep up the good work.
Hey Destiny! Thanks for your great comment! Keep on coding on!! :)
The back of my ICD 10-CM has my hand written notes on CMS guidelines, do I have to rip that page out?
"Handwritten notes are acceptable in the coding books only if they pertain to daily coding activities. Questions from the Study Guides, Practice Exams or the Exam itself are prohibited. Tabs may be inserted, taped, pasted, glued, or stapled in the manuals so long as the obvious intent of the tab is to earmark a page with words or numbers, not supplement information in the book. Altering, whiting out, painting, or printing over any pages within the code books (e.g., marketing pages, table of contents, reference pages, etc.) to supplement information is prohibited.
No materials (other than tab dividers) may be inserted, taped, pasted, glued, or stapled in the manuals."

I just want to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS!! especially this one for preparing for the exam sometime next year. I appreciate you very much!!❤
You are so welcome!
Yes- that’s what I needed. I’m scheduled next month.

@@Odiwan thank you so much.
You got this!!!
Thank you so much! I haven’t taken my exam but am close & will probably watch this video multiple times lol
No problem! Hoang Nyugen has some great CPC prep videos, too, in case you want to check out his channel as well!
I am a newbie. I am registered and just starting my online class. This was very informative and interesting

I passed my CPC exam, thanks for your tips to tackle the question and manage the time to complete the exam. U are super 👍👍👍😊.
That's so awesome, Faraz!! Congrats to you!!
Hi Victoria can you please guide me about the manuals to use, is it allowed to get exam bundle from optum to sit for cpc exam? thank you.
You can use any version of ICD-10-CM and HCPCS but the CPT must be the AMA Professional Edition ONLY. You can find out more on the AAPC exam FAQs:

Thank You for this Victoria! Lots of helpful tips and information in here!
You bet, Paula! It's funny how just knowing little things ahead of time like not throwing away your shrink wrap can make examinees feel a little more comfortable.
Mahalo from Hawaii, this is very thorough on taking the exam and help with the nerves
It is now 100 questions and 4 hours in 2022. Can you break this down please.
I have been a biller and coder for 26 years, I am going to sit for the CPC. I would like to be on the business side of healthcare.
As a Indian aspiring coder ,you are just amazing 🤩
I'm having to retake the exam, and this has helped so much.
Thank you
i take my test this weekend your videos have helped me so much
👊🏾👊🏾 you have helped me so much!! Thank you!! Keep the videos coming!!
You got it!
Just finish taking a certificate program and I’m so nervous of signing up for the CPC Exam since I suck at testing 😭
How did you do on your exam?
Which certificate program did you take?
@@ourhalfdozenrvlife5839 I haven’t been able to take it since there’s none in my area at this moment and I can’t take the online one 😩 So it’s pretty much a waiting game for me
@@vivian318 I’m from New York it’s a program called ABC training center
Hi, Im barely in my program, and it's online, so its a bit difficult for me. I'm doing the outpaitent CPC training. Just want to know how the process goes after all my training and certifications. Where do I sign up after for a membership, and where to take the test.
What is 10,000 series.?
going to be signing up for your E&M course!!
Glad I watched this. I'm not used to seeing CPT procedure codes listed before diagnosis codes. That would have really thrown me off if I didn't know about it ahead of time. And I tabbed the E/M grid too. THANKS!
You're welcome, Kathy!
This was so helpful you cleared up some major confusion I had. I'm watching everything you have on coding cuz I feel like after I do I'll be a MFing pro!!
Awesome, glad that it hit the mark! Thanks for all the watch time and your kind comments!
I'm retaking my exam in 2022 so I get test anxiety but I was still surprised that I failed after taking the CPC CLASS and practice exams. Any tips?
Yes -- check out this video I made on coming back after a failure -- ruclips.net/video/VT05L6X0iUo/видео.html
@@ContempoCoding Thank you. I did purchase the extended practice exams for each individual section. I got a 69 so I think if I can fine tune I'll be good. Great video though.
@@ContempoCoding I retook it last Saturday and just found out I passed today 🙌
I can’t find the checklist anywhere. Can you please send to me?

My CPC exam is next weekend. I'm so nervous but thank you for creating this video.
Best of luck!
For the white board, can it just be white piece of printer paper inside a dry erase sheet?
i failed by 2% 4 years ago and never bothered and switched to another field. tempted to relearn medical coding again and start over to prepare again. Not sure where to start
I passed my exam 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Congratulations did you have any prior experience in the medical field
