I am now 30 , I will be 31 January the 30th but I just finished up for my classes for Medical Billing and Coding I am nervous about it all but . I finally did it. I graduated with a 4.0. I will soon walk the stage May 2022. 👩🎓🙏😇👩🎓👩🎓
lately, I had felt lost in terms of having a career, scared of being thousands in debt from a college education, and sticking with a dead end retail job until I knew what I wanted to pursue. I recently found out about this career field, and upon further research, I found your videos. As an independent worker and massive introvert, I feel like this would be a great field for me! Thank you for making these videos, I feel much better about taking this path now that I have a better look inside. Keep doing what you do!
"As an independent worker and massive introvert..." I'm not alone😭. I came across Medical coding as well, as I was narrowing careers down in Healthcare, this is one really stood out. Praying that next year will be the year that I go to school (online classes) for it. Saving up at the moment.
I have autism and a lot of social anxiety. I’ve only been able to work part time most of my life and I’m 32. I work better alone and am highly considering taking the classes to learn this. Thank you for making this video to help me learn more!
I love this! I just enrolled in school for medical billing & coding. I have always been interested in the medical field but my personality type fits being behind the scenes so to speak. I want to help people but I get too emotional around sick people. Lol watching your examples made me super excited and I’m very happy I decided to finally go for it. I’ll be binge watching your videos soon lol
oh my gosh me too! I tried being a phlebotomist but very quickly realized that seeing people so ill and in pain was too much for my empathetic personality. I want to help people, so being in the administration side of things means I can help without having it take a toll on my mental health. Good luck in your career journey!
Hi, after the completion of the program, do you plan on pursuing an associate degree.? if yes, what degree do you plan to do with your coding certificate?
I feel very welcomed just reading other people comments, I think we all are in the same boat. It is super nice learn and improve together. I decided to get into the program because I had my second child and the world is not socially the best, so, I want to be more time with little ones without losing my financial independence.
I stumbled upon this, I want to thank you. I have worked in healthcare for over 20yrs. i can no long continue in the field I was in so I want to see if I could do something else at home. SO, this is great. So the main idea here is that you have to get proficient with working those books, getting to know those books to find those codes.
I'm looking to become a medical coder myself. This video was helpful in introducing me to my field of interest. I know some reports will be a bit complicated but I know I can do it. All I gotta do is try.
Medical coding is a good career. I took this course in school but I didn’t took the exam and I wish I could. Right now I would have a good start in my life. I went for nursing but is so tedious! :( I am trying to survive and become a Nurse. I just wish I could have done coding. Do your research okay.
I am so excited! I am doing this! I have 15 yrs experience in patient accounts already and an extensive medical terminology knowledge base. I think I am gonna crush this!
I graduated and earned my billing/coding degree back in 2005. I coded for a dental office for 4 years then decided to go back to college and became a Sonographer. 6 years later, I'm wanting to get back into billing/coding. I feel like I'm starting from scratch. Thank you for these videos. They are extremely helpful!
I went into sonography because I wanted to be more hands on with patient care. I knew nursing wasn't for me and I've always found imaging fascinating. There are many differences between ultrasound, MRI, CT and Xray. After much research and job shadowing I chose ultrasound. I love it.
@@zipporahwilliams2114 Hello. So, there is so much to say about ultrasound. More than I can put in a short response. It's a great field and very rewarding. It has its pros and cons though. Reaching out to someone in the field is a great idea because the general public really has NO IDEA what we really do. Everyone thinks we just take pictures and look at babies all day which is so far from the truth. If you're really interested, let me know. We can exchange emails and have a real conversation about it. I live teaching about my career!
Hi there! I just signed up for Medical Coding class at AAPC. I am subscribed to your channel hoping it will help me with this new academic venture. I am very anxious and nervous because I am a busy mom and wife, and in my forties. I am hoping that I will be a better version of me once I am done with this coding training with the help of your videos. Thank You for doing what you love doing! Blessings to you and looking forward to watch more of your videos.
Very busy mom and wife here too who just turned 50 and will be starting this class too! All these years helping dh with his business while kids were little, now it’s time for me. I’m also anxious and nervous lol so I’m soooo glad to see this comment! Good luck to both of us!!
@@natwinkel7790 Hopefully, you see this! I'm a mother of 4 and two of them are inside the Autism Spectrum, therefore I'm in desperate need of finding a career that allows me to work from home and still be able to handle therapies and everything else. Coding could be it. Did you start the class? Where did you take it? I would appreciate if you can share some guidance and if you need any special requirements to enroll and be able to work on this field. Blessings
Thank you so much for making this. I want to get out of the service industry and my mom has been saying I should look into this forever. I can do this!
I appreciate this video! I've been having a hard time making ends meet, and my dad (who is a healthcare lawyer) suggested medical coding to me. I had no idea what it was and didn't want to waste money on classes for something that I wouldn't do. Thank you so much for the demonstration.
I worked for a radiology department, obtaining prior authorizations for a outpatient center for years. So I always been interested in coding and this video definitely helps. Thank you
I started in January on medical terminology. I'm nervous. Going through the local community College so will move to medical coding after this, that is if I can pass the medical terminology.
Thank you for your video. I have enrolled in school for billing and coding, and i am terrified. I have been out of school for over 10 years. Im scared to fail. But your videos have helped me understand what i will be learning in school. Thank you
I’m actually really shocked how much I’m interested in this. I’m usually scared off by the word coding, but this is different. I like that there’s a reference to use. I was about to throw myself into cyber security but I think this is much more suitable for me.
That's fantastic to hear! Medical coding is indeed a unique field that combines healthcare knowledge with a structured referencing system. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but when it resonates, it can be incredibly fulfilling. It's great that you've found a potential path that feels right for you. Always trust your instincts and explore what truly interests you. Best of luck on whichever path you decide to pursue!
@@perpetualearner1 Hey! I'm actually still sort of stuck. I've been weighing my options of becoming a Data Analyst (to lead me toward a Data Science role) or Cybersecurity.
Me too! I came here because my teacher expects us to know everything. She asks us things we don’t know or have never learned, instead of actually teaching or explaining anything:(
I finished Medical Terminology and how I’m going through Anatomy through the AAPC. I’m so ready to start coding training. Those examples got me all excited!!!
So happy I found you! I’ve been contemplating starting a billing & coding class offered at my college but am a little overwhelmed about beginning a new field but you peaked my interest & im excited to start the course soon! I’ll definitely be watching all your videos lol
I graduated with my Associates of science Medical billing and coding. I’m so excited but nervous at the same time. It was sooooo much to learn and this is literally helping me. My instructor advised that I take some crash courses to keep my it fresh on my mind and here I am the day of my graduation lol. Taking notes 📝
I’m very familiar with A&P, and diagnosis. So this profession is exciting to me . I am hoping to find a part-time, work from home, entry level medical coder job.
I'm a nursing assistant but I want to go for Medical Coding course but I was nervous but now after watching your video I'm going for it thank you for sharing important information it's really helpful to people to all of us may God bless you
This video was so hard to find! I’m trying to learn python and realized there’s a lot of very well paying jobs for coding medical devices. I really wanted to find a RUclipsr who already was one and could shed some light on that part of the field.
I watched many of your videos before making my final decision and I am in my first week of training for Medical Coding with Bryan University. Thank you!
My uncle gave me medical records as a job when I was 14 in his clinic. I worked summers and breaks mainly. Now I'm pretty much part-time, about to graduate highschool and now he wants me to do billing and coding and I had no idea what it was until now
That’s awesome man! I’m 22 and wasted a year in college to just not go back. Recently I’ve been looking to do online courses for medical billing and coding. But being asked to take that job right out of high school from a family member is a gift. I strongly suggest hopping on that opportunity, especially since you have experience.
Well the algorithm brought me this video. My gosh why can't Ant everyone else's video ive seen be this simplified. I'm about to start my wound care center and everyone has been telling me about billing and codes etc. Well this was actually fun. Thanks
I'm thrilled to hear that this video made the complex world of medical coding more approachable and fun for you, especially as you're about to embark on your wound care center journey. It's true, the realm of billing and codes can seem daunting at first, but I'm glad this video could simplify it for you. Medical coding is indeed a critical aspect of healthcare management, and understanding it can significantly streamline your operations.
@ContempoCoding well I'll be going through your videos as best I can. It's like you're making a legend to navigate through the billing process. But those codes are all universal right?
This is helpful, i am 23 and will be starting classes for medical coding and billing in August! Im really nervous . These videos will for sire help me!
Hi there! What laptop or other supplies would you recommend for medical billing and coding school? I start in a few months and would love to know what your thoughts are on what I should invest in.
Hey Victoria ! I had a question. I am not sure if you have addressed this in any of your previous videos, but once you receive your coding certification, what jobs utilize this kind of training other than the traditional Medical Coding job? What jobs can I apply for where I can utilize this knowledge? Thank you very much for everything you do !
Question. When a patient is a long term stay say a month or so, do you usually have to code everything for the whole months stay all at onc? Or is it usually broken up? And also, how much time would you say you typically spend on a single case?
Did the medical terms trip you up? I'm studying every day and am worried I won't get it. Also started reading Step by Step medical coding and the entire insurance and Medicare part seems a little overwhelming. You make it seem effortless; I'm hoping to be in the same shoes one day.
.i want to learn coding so bad but My social skills aren’t amazing. I’m a huge introvert and usually home alone or with family. I don’t have many friends and don’t really involve myself in any group activities. I was an over the road truck driver the past 2 years as well - so there’s even more isolation. Idk if my social awkwardness is going to be an issue. It makes me nervous just thinking abt it
I honestly believe coding is one of the best medical jobs for introverts. I was a CNA and there was constant interaction with everyone in the building. The only people that were rarely ever seen were the office workers( billing/coding, administration). That's what drew me to this field because Im also an introvert and prefer to work alone. I could work with people if needed but I work better on my own. Best of luck 😊
Thank you for sharing your video. I will be going for medical coding this fall but very nervous and scare since my English is not the best. I work with insurance and billing but not too confidence about myself.
Hi, I’m thinking of becoming a medical coder. Questions1:Do I need to take a medical billing course as well? We’ll that help my prospects in finding a job better, understanding better the job of a coder, or earn me more money? Question2: If I have 20 years of inpatient hospital Pharmacy technician experience will that help me in any way to get a better salary from the start as a medical coder rather than the minimum 28k in the beginning.
I am researching if I want to enter into medical billing and coding. I recently started a career as an insurance claims adjuster and am not yet convinced it is for me 😬 For that second more complex case that you mentioned; about how long (from start to finish) would you estimate it would take you to code that one? Also do they have a space online to look up the codes? I am NOT a paper book kind of girl which is why I am struggling with “adjusting” I find it much more efficient & effective & logical to be able to simply open that ebook type in a key word and be taken directly to the information I need rather than flipping through hundreds of pages and skimming thousands of words to find the same info. Could just be me though haha! Anyway I appreciate any information you could provide as I find your videos VERY helpful!
I have been processing medical claims for 9 years and have just started classes for billing and coding. I want to advance in my career and this was my first video I have watched in regards to what it’s like to do the actual coding of a claim. I was highly intrigued and you are very knowledgeable and personable to be able understand/follow the process. I have subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos as I progress in school!
Love love love this video! Thank you! I know this one is a bit older and I have been enjoying all of your more recent videos. Something made me want to start at the beginning! I am currently majoring in Health Information Technology and knocking out my prerequisites. & yesss, medical terminology is extremely important. My class is now over and I will be going back over and over all I’ve learned, as well as Anatomy. I can’t wait to begin all the coding courses!
I am in my 4th week in school and will be getting my certificate for coding at the end of the year and had no clue what you said lol😂. I will be getting those books and thank you for this video I will be subscribing to you and following you. I want to know more about this. Thanks
I know this vid is kind of old, but I'm thinking of doing this so I can work from home while my kids are a little younger as I'm a divorced parent and it is impossible to find a job that allows me to get my kids on the bus and pick them up without hiring someone. My question is how do you find a work from home job after you complete your certs? I have a medical background.
Are those textbooks also available digitally? I know there’s websites where you can look up some (I work in a PT office and occasionally have to check a diagnosis code from a script). I was wondering because it seems like the searching could be done quicker with a digital book. I was also wondering on average how many cases do you code per day?
Thank you for this, I start class next week 😊. I was curious as to how you look up the codes and this was very helpful!! I'm studying medical terminology like a crazy person right now 😵🤯😊
Same..im 33 and wondering if its worth it…theres a school nearby where i can get cerified in months…i wonder if i can get a job with that certificate first and then continue school or would i have to wait…is the starting salary decent?…im going to the school coming soon to ask all these questions but if anybody knows anything i would appreciate it…(it does suck i live in NC which have the lowest salaries overall nationwide)
I just got an interest in MBC I have experience in verifying insurance and obtaining authorizations for specialists office visits, sleep studies, imaging, and EEGs so I have quite a bit of knowledge of ICD-10 and CPT codes
It sounds like you've already delved into the healthcare field with your CNA training and other medical education! Yes, every medical condition, including nose bleeds, asthma, and diabetes, has specific codes used for reimbursement purposes. Medical coding can be quite intricate but incredibly rewarding. If you're thinking of diving into the world of medical coding further, I hope my videos continue to be a useful resource for you. All the best in your journey!
Seems like there should be a simple computer data system that would just extract this information, pre-code, and medical-coders would just review, approve, and catch any missed?
Hi! I am looking to make a career change and wanted to keep with the medical field track that I have been on. About how many cases are you required to do in a day? Are these jobs usually remote? Thank you for making this video!
Hi, can anyone tell me the easiest to get into? CPC? COC? CIC? CRC? I am supposed to start medical coding with a friend that teaches it and she has said that AI is starting to take over some medical coding jobs. Originally I just wanted to do CPC, but now I’m not sure. Which credential would have the best job security?
Hello Victoria! I am a new subdue.. love your channel.. thank you so much.. I did enroll and watch your free masterclass with preppy! Awesome.. this is my question please.. I have already graduated from an accredited college in 2015..I worked in doctors office using billing skills, but never got to use coding skills.. I want to get certified CPC without having to pay for schooling again..what options do I have.. thank you so much.😊
I am very interested in this field. I'm currently in marketing but I am reaching my creative limit and am seeking something a little more rewarding and black and white. Thanks for this video.
So if I understand this correctly what you are coding mostly is the diagnoses and any procedures utilized as result of diagnosis.now then do you have to code any after care instructions such as use heat and ice as well as prescriptions for meds and medical implements like crutches or braces??thank you i appreciate your time

Great that he's your uncle. Because dealing with physicians aren't easy
Well the algorithm brought me this video. My gosh why can't Ant everyone else's video ive seen be this simplified. I'm about to start my wound care center and everyone has been telling me about billing and codes etc. Well this was actually fun. Thanks
I'm thrilled to hear that this video made the complex world of medical coding more approachable and fun for you, especially as you're about to embark on your wound care center journey. It's true, the realm of billing and codes can seem daunting at first, but I'm glad this video could simplify it for you. Medical coding is indeed a critical aspect of healthcare management, and understanding it can significantly streamline your operations.
@ContempoCoding well I'll be going through your videos as best I can. It's like you're making a legend to navigate through the billing process. But those codes are all universal right?
Great slice of the medical coder pie!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you, Sonal! 🥧
This is helpful, i am 23 and will be starting classes for medical coding and billing in August! Im really nervous . These videos will for sire help me!
How is it so far?
Thank you for this video! I’ve been in home care for 17 years and I’m looking for a career change.
Interesting job! Here we go again.
Hi there! What laptop or other supplies would you recommend for medical billing and coding school? I start in a few months and would love to know what your thoughts are on what I should invest in.
Im hoping to go back to school. Im 29 and I want to be able to finish with something and I think I would like this! Thanks for the information ❤
Hey Victoria ! I had a question. I am not sure if you have addressed this in any of your previous videos, but once you receive your coding certification, what jobs utilize this kind of training other than the traditional Medical Coding job? What jobs can I apply for where I can utilize this knowledge? Thank you very much for everything you do !
I just registered for a course in it. Did you get an answer to your question
Question. When a patient is a long term stay say a month or so, do you usually have to code everything for the whole months stay all at onc? Or is it usually broken up? And also, how much time would you say you typically spend on a single case?
Did the medical terms trip you up? I'm studying every day and am worried I won't get it. Also started reading Step by Step medical coding and the entire insurance and Medicare part seems a little overwhelming. You make it seem effortless; I'm hoping to be in the same shoes one day.
.i want to learn coding so bad but My social skills aren’t amazing. I’m a huge introvert and usually home alone or with family. I don’t have many friends and don’t really involve myself in any group activities. I was an over the road truck driver the past 2 years as well - so there’s even more isolation. Idk if my social awkwardness is going to be an issue. It makes me nervous just thinking abt it
I honestly believe coding is one of the best medical jobs for introverts. I was a CNA and there was constant interaction with everyone in the building. The only people that were rarely ever seen were the office workers( billing/coding, administration). That's what drew me to this field because Im also an introvert and prefer to work alone. I could work with people if needed but I work better on my own. Best of luck 😊
I get it. Am very similar. Trying to get my son into this. Valuable skill.
Me to
Omg this is so me,, like I chose this career not knowing is what's best for me by me being to myself alot and just not social like I should. 🙃
Why no software of it? It looks too boring to switch between pages.... Very good presentation by beautiful lady
I just started looking into this, and this video was posted on my birthday...I'm wondering if its a sign. lol. Great informative videos. Thank you.
Hey Sam! Thanks for leaving a comment! Glad you found the video informative! 😁
It is a sign!! Take action now and I’ll check back in a year
Thank you for sharing your video. I will be going for medical coding this fall but very nervous and scare since my English is not the best. I work with insurance and billing but not too confidence about myself.
Oh dang! I was hoping you were going to break down the second report! Thank you for posting! 💜
Hi, I’m thinking of becoming a medical coder. Questions1:Do I need to take a medical billing course as well? We’ll that help my prospects in finding a job better, understanding better the job of a coder, or earn me more money?
Question2: If I have 20 years of inpatient hospital Pharmacy technician experience will that help me in any way to get a better salary from the start as a medical coder rather than the minimum 28k in the beginning.
I am researching if I want to enter into medical billing and coding. I recently started a career as an insurance claims adjuster and am not yet convinced it is for me 😬 For that second more complex case that you mentioned; about how long (from start to finish) would you estimate it would take you to code that one? Also do they have a space online to look up the codes? I am NOT a paper book kind of girl which is why I am struggling with “adjusting” I find it much more efficient & effective & logical to be able to simply open that ebook type in a key word and be taken directly to the information I need rather than flipping through hundreds of pages and skimming thousands of words to find the same info. Could just be me though haha! Anyway I appreciate any information you could provide as I find your videos VERY helpful!
Being able to use an ebook to type in a key word to get straight to the info would save much time for sure. I'd prefer that as well.
I want to know the answer.
Hi there, love the video! Is there anyway to double check if you’ve chosen the right code? And what happens if you choose the wrong code? Thanks!
I have been processing medical claims for 9 years and have just started classes for billing and coding. I want to advance in my career and this was my first video I have watched in regards to what it’s like to do the actual coding of a claim. I was highly intrigued and you are very knowledgeable and personable to be able understand/follow the process. I have subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos as I progress in school!
Omg- you just blow my mind and this is so amazing. A meeting journey for me
Love love love this video! Thank you! I know this one is a bit older and I have been enjoying all of your more recent videos. Something made me want to start at the beginning! I am currently majoring in Health Information Technology and knocking out my prerequisites. & yesss, medical terminology is extremely important. My class is now over and I will be going back over and over all I’ve learned, as well as Anatomy. I can’t wait to begin all the coding courses!
This informative video works so relatable and systematically like my Navy job was and I thank you for sharing your experience.
I am in my 4th week in school and will be getting my certificate for coding at the end of the year and had no clue what you said lol😂. I will be getting those books and thank you for this video I will be subscribing to you and following you. I want to know more about this. Thanks
Complicated case. Cath lab-I love this!!!
This is helpful coz I'm on studying medical coding and will be graduating in March
I'm kinda nervous that it might be very hard to work
Thank you..I understand at first..now I totally got it
I know this vid is kind of old, but I'm thinking of doing this so I can work from home while my kids are a little younger as I'm a divorced parent and it is impossible to find a job that allows me to get my kids on the bus and pick them up without hiring someone. My question is how do you find a work from home job after you complete your certs? I have a medical background.
Thank you, I begin my classes may 1st.
Very insightful for an introductory video! great, thanks!
I started my online classes today. Im thrilled. And scared. Lol
Are those textbooks also available digitally? I know there’s websites where you can look up some (I work in a PT office and occasionally have to check a diagnosis code from a script). I was wondering because it seems like the searching could be done quicker with a digital book. I was also wondering on average how many cases do you code per day?
agreed!
Thank you for this, I start class next week 😊. I was curious as to how you look up the codes and this was very helpful!! I'm studying medical terminology like a crazy person right now 😵🤯😊
Med term is a toughie because it really is just memorization! Thank goodness we have Google in the real world, huh? :)
@@ContempoCoding Yes!! Google has helped tremendously with my class😊
Hi. Can you teach us how you organized the tabs in your books?
I’ve already taken my classes I’m just waiting for the right job opportunity.
Nice video. I think I need more videos on how to study and retain information from the guidelines.
Me too !
Seems to be a big request for guidelines lately! I'll have to start putting some things together!
Contempo Coding thank you so much!!!!!
I'm in my early 30s and I'm wondering if this would be a good career path for me?
Same here.. Have you started?
I'm in my mid 20s & thinking this same thing
@@quuu1864 yeah I’m 25 and I am in the process of applying for the course.
@@brendamondragon6594 this just gives me even more motivation to just go ahead & do it I hope everything works out for you. YOU GOT THIS !!❤🤞
Same..im 33 and wondering if its worth it…theres a school nearby where i can get cerified in months…i wonder if i can get a job with that certificate first and then continue school or would i have to wait…is the starting salary decent?…im going to the school coming soon to ask all these questions but if anybody knows anything i would appreciate it…(it does suck i live in NC which have the lowest salaries overall nationwide)
First time checking out this line of work consistently doing something such as this as a remote position
Awesome Mam...Thanks for sharing these information with us.
AWESOME Video! Thanks for taking the time to make this video....
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ContempoCoding I want find question answer question
Value… fee for service… DRG, interoperability… better connections … workable.
I just got an interest in MBC I have experience in verifying insurance and obtaining authorizations for specialists office visits, sleep studies, imaging, and EEGs so I have quite a bit of knowledge of ICD-10 and CPT codes
Very cool, this looks very interesting, thank you!
I was doing CNA, and went to school for other medical work .
The codes for reimbursement nose bleed, asthma, diabetic codes
It sounds like you've already delved into the healthcare field with your CNA training and other medical education! Yes, every medical condition, including nose bleeds, asthma, and diabetes, has specific codes used for reimbursement purposes. Medical coding can be quite intricate but incredibly rewarding. If you're thinking of diving into the world of medical coding further, I hope my videos continue to be a useful resource for you. All the best in your journey!
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.
Hi thank you for this great video is very helpful
In this job do you have to call patients to request payments? I hope not
Thank you in advance
Hi there! No there is no patient contact in medical coding.
Hi i just finished your playlist for 2021 guidelines
Seems like there should be a simple computer data system that would just extract this information, pre-code, and medical-coders would just review, approve, and catch any missed?
That’s pretty much what is happening to the industry, there are computers doing coding and the coders audit it
Thanks for the video. How much money can you make with medical coding?
Hi!
I am looking to make a career change and wanted to keep with the medical field track that I have been on.
About how many cases are you required to do in a day?
Are these jobs usually remote?
Thank you for making this video!
Hi, can anyone tell me the easiest to get into? CPC? COC? CIC? CRC? I am supposed to start medical coding with a friend that teaches it and she has said that AI is starting to take over some medical coding jobs. Originally I just wanted to do CPC, but now I’m not sure. Which credential would have the best job security?
CPC
Hello Victoria! I am a new subdue.. love your channel.. thank you so much.. I did enroll and watch your free masterclass with preppy! Awesome.. this is my question please.. I have already graduated from an accredited college in 2015..I worked in doctors office using billing skills, but never got to use coding skills.. I want to get certified CPC without having to pay for schooling again..what options do I have.. thank you so much.😊
I am very interested in this field. I'm currently in marketing but I am reaching my creative limit and am seeking something a little more rewarding and black and white. Thanks for this video.
Funny I was thinking of doing marketing!
what a great video, please ma can you do vidoe for medical coding each chapter guildline
ruclips.net/video/rKnj0OrZnSA/видео.html
@@ContempoCoding thanks sooooo much ma
How quick can the online course be to get code certificate? Are they 100% online?
You are a great 👍
List of books please and how can I get them?
I added the books to the video description.
So if I understand this correctly what you are coding mostly is the diagnoses and any procedures utilized as result of diagnosis.now then do you have to code any after care instructions such as use heat and ice as well as prescriptions for meds and medical implements like crutches or braces??thank you i appreciate your time
