    How can this benefit the ins company? How does this work? Maybe teaching hospitals? Any insights & understandings on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    So, I graduated in 2019 but, I did not pass the certification test. Would I need to pass the test to get a job in that field? I haven't done anything with billing or coding since I graduated. Also would it be best to go back to school for it? Or take some boot camps or something like that? I'm already remembering a lot just by watching your videos.

    I had to laugh at myself a few days ago while working on example worksheets. It took me way too long to find infarction when looking for a AMI. I looked at everything but infarction and then finally found it. The sad part - I worked in the ER for YEARS as a unit secretary and I KNOW what an infarction is. Put me behind a desk in the ER and I got it - put a textbook in front of me and "I don't got it" 🙂 All I could do was shake my head and tell myself that Dr. Grimm would be so disappointed.

You're absolutely right about providing answers to all the examples - it's a fantastic idea for making sure everyone is on the same page. While I've covered the method in detail in the video, I totally get that having a list of answers could be super useful as a quick reference. I'll definitely consider this for a future video or a follow-up post. Thanks for the suggestion, and keep rocking your coding journey!
