So I certainly appreciate the last minute quick review. I was watching live Jan. 11 and I thought I recalled you saying that you were testing last Tuesday to see the new format and to determine if the testing locations will be as strict as indicated in the reporting instructions. Did you test? Or, was I mistaken. I can't see a recording of the video to review. Praises to you and your passion for medical coding! Jennifer

I took my this today March 2024 at testing facility . The computer testing threw me off . You answer one question at a time. Can’t skip the hard questions and go back. You can forget that strategy. You can’t even tell what number question you’re on. So my timing was off. I wish it let me see if I’m on question 50 and there’s 2 hours left. I would know I’m on a decent pace. I wish I could skip the harder questions and go straight to the easier questions. Hcpcs and lab and pathology was at the end of my test which I rushed through. Paper test would be much easier since we would be able to highlight or underline key words. Skip through any questions and go back to the harder ones later. Mark an X to Eliminate answers choices we know are not correct. Messsge me if you have any questions about the exam.

@ContempoCoding 5 ай бұрын

Absolutely, the CPC exam is indeed an open book test, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's a walk in the park! It's a challenging exam that requires a solid understanding of medical coding concepts, guidelines, practices, as well as anatomy and terminology. Being a member and paying the fee is just the start. You'll need to dive deep into the study materials, get a good grasp of the coding systems, and practice a lot to navigate through those books efficiently during the exam. It's all about how well you understand and apply the knowledge, not just having it at your fingertips.

"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." Ref: www.aapc.com/training/cpc-exam-faqs.aspx

What's the best book in 2024 to buy for this?

@ContempoCoding 4 ай бұрын

To learn medical coding, I recommend the Step-by-Step medical coding books by Bucks: You will also need a CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10-CM book as those are the coding books required. 2024 CPT - amzn.to/3vdquX3 2024 ICD-10-CM - amzn.to/483TsHv 2024 HCPCS - amzn.to/47eHjOz Step-By-Step Medical Coding Textbook 2024 - amzn.to/48vfkLG Step-By-Step Medical Coding Workbook 2024 - amzn.to/41DaxFI

So there are no fill in the blank questions for this years exam ?

@ContempoCoding 5 ай бұрын

No. They will let everyone know well in advance when and if fill-in-the blank comes out, but it was NOT in the 2024 study materials. They had previously indicated the study materials would be changed prior to adding in any fill-in-the-blank questions. www.aapc.com/resources/cpc-exam-faqs

@danikadahl2824 5 ай бұрын

@@ContempoCoding Thanks for reply! Well, I certainly do not know what the ratios of credentialed coders from AHIMA vs AAPC - but AHIMA has been around since early 1900s credentialing HIT experts including coders. I know things have changed but back in the day - it was only AHIMA and only RHIT and RHIAs that were doing the coding. I could be wrong, but it seems like if you incorporated the CCS-P into your studies -- you could DOUBLE DIP on both credentials! ;-) And considering they are both about the same -- pretty much the same content except when it comes to the testing component -- such as this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ;-)
