I am doing an online course in billing and coding, and while Im not a stupid person, this course had me in tears. I did not understand at all the process, I felt like a made a mistake. Oh, my god. This video alone has made me understand more than hours of trying to re read and re study the material I was provided. Im subscribing and will be binging these videos. Seriously, I could cry from relief right now. thank you
If i didnt have to have it to get a job at my current hospital, i wouldnt take it again. Not online anyway. Ive had to do a LOT of self study. I just dont like how this one is set up.
Omg! I’m right there with you. Victoria’s videos are helping me tremendously. I couldn’t imagine trying to get through my diagnosis and CPT courses without her. I cannot just read all of those words and just “get it.”
Thank you for making these videos. I'm getting into medical coding, and was so overwhelmed with where to start with my books, but after finding your video, I am feeling much more secure with the track I'm on.
Just in time. I just received my 2023 code books today. I'm currently doing the AAPC course in medical coding and billing. It's intimidating going at it by myself but your videos help me understand. Thank you!!!
If you need help, try the UA-cam channel coding with Bleu. There are recommendations for how to find a mentor or tutor. I have taken a long time to make progress on my AAPC classes. Hope this helps.
I'm currently going thru the AAPC coding course myself. The amount of material to be covered is intimidating. I'm finding out that this channel and UA-cam as well are beneficial. GOOD LUCK on the course.
Thank you so much for this! I am currently doing AAPC's billing and coding course and was totally lost on how to read the code book (I was overthinking it) and this gave me so much clarity! Thank you!!
talking AAPC online coding/billing course, so confusing until I found your very helpful and informative videos. Thank you!!!! Please keep providing us more!
Ive been watching your videos all morning. I am currently a student in AAPC. Sadly, my teacher is not the greatest. So I have been on the struggle bus. Your videos have been super helpful! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this. I am studying for my CMAA, and the online study guide about the ICD-10 makes ZERO sense, but when you teach it, it finally makes sense. You saved my mental sanity LOL!
This video is incredibly explains coding and the book so much better than other videos. I'm waiting on my books to arrive and I plan on rewatching this while going through my books. Thank you.
Hi I am new to coding, I thought I would enhance of skills as an MRIe, by doing this on the weekend. I absolutely love your videos. They are so informative, I too, have to binge watch. I would love learn how to tab my books for easier references. Thank you so much and may God bless you ❤
Because I'm on Chapter 5, I understood this video! But this confirms that I comprehended it correctly. I need to read up on those little symbols on the bottom of the page though. I also need to binge watch your videos.😉
Thank you so much for a great video. I was confused at first on how to start using the ICD-10- CM code book, but you had a very good explanation and breakdown on how and where to find everything. Thank you again and have a great day!
I'm not there yet in my course but I can't wait to lay hands on the books 🤩 literally makes me excited, same time I'm scared a bit 😅, Thank you so much 🙏 oh and since I'm watching your videos big time,I would like to ask where or how can I support your channel?
I love your educational material! Do you have any videos on abstracting the "correct" information (procedures and diagnoses) from the physician's report?? I struggle with this!!
Thank you for making this! I've been an Optum book fan since starting this journey, now I'm gonna have to switch to being an AAPC book fan! 😅 Love your nails too! 😁💅
Thank You, for this information. I appreciate the review and I learned some things I had forgotten. I am a newly graduate am scheduled for July 2023! I have 2022 manuals. Do you know how or if there’s a way to get 2023 for a discount? Maybe there are places who sale or donate the manuals to students? I’m going to need to get 2023 manuals for the exam (don’t want to chance 2022 manuals) but I can’t I cannot find them at a reasonable cost. Thank you, again.
I'm currently studying for the Certified Outpatient Coder and would like to get more understanding on some of the multi coding for one incident and I know as I go along I will have more questions. Can I get any assistance in this area? Thanking you in advance.
I have been doing pocket prep (the basic membership, or the free membership) I was wanting to know if you had a video about wounds, integumentary system? I just realized I am struggling with these
This helped me so much! Can anybody who has already studied/taken the final exam, tell me if its crucial to buy the coding books during studying and study those? I saw they are needed for the exam
Learning medical coding without medical books is like trying to navigate a new city without a map or GPS. You might eventually find your way, but it will be much more challenging and time-consuming. With the right tools, you can quickly and confidently reach your destination.
Doe the computerized diagnosis encoders find Inclusive notes or some slang medical disease ? My experience it does not pick it up in Encoder, however it is in the ICD10 manual. Inclusive notes : (slang medical names) such as the clap is gonorrhea, piles is hemorhoids, Etc. Your video was nice and informative!

Your book font looks so much larger than mine. I need a magnifying glass for mine (same AAPC book, and it has the slick pages that I'm not crazy about) :/
Hi student coder here and I have a question in regards to the characters. When looking at the characters do you consider the period as part of the code IE; A00. and it says that you need a 4th character so A00.0 would be the 4 characters correct? I was told that the period is considered a character
ICD-10-PCS is used specifically for coding inpatient hospital procedures, while ICD-10-CM is used for coding diagnoses in all healthcare settings. If you're focusing on hospital coding, learning ICD-10-PCS will be important, but if you're coding diagnoses, ICD-10-CM is the primary system you'll use. Both serve different purposes in medical coding.

Totally off-topic and ridiculous question: what kind of nail decorations are those? My daughter's birthday is coming up and she would love to have some like that. And good info too, of course.
I really don’t understand why we use the book for codes, while we can use google to catch them out specified and totally correct, please tell what’s the difference? Thank you in advance,
While Google is a fantastic tool for quick searches, medical coding is a bit more complex. The coding books, like ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS, are the gold standards in the industry. They're comprehensive, regularly updated, and provide the detailed guidelines necessary for accurate coding. Google can give you a general idea, but coding books offer the exact codes and specific guidelines. This is crucial because even a small error can lead to claim rejections or incorrect billing. In medical billing and coding, compliance with regulations is key. The coding books ensure that you're using the most up-to-date and compliant codes, which is something a general Google search might not guarantee. The books include not just the codes, but also important guidelines on how to use them. This includes coding for specific conditions, how to code multiple diagnoses, and more. Using the official coding books is a standard practice in the industry. It shows a commitment to professionalism and accuracy, which is essential in healthcare. So, while Google is great for a lot of things, when it comes to medical coding, the coding books are your best bet for accuracy, compliance, and professional standards. Hope this helps clear things up!

do you offer exams questions and answers for the CBCS exam?
Because the CBCS is not commonly recognized by employers for coding positions, it's not something i commonly focus on.
Your book font looks so much larger than mine. I need a magnifying glass for mine (same AAPC book, and it has the slick pages that I'm not crazy about) :/

The period or decimal is not considered one of the characters.
