I am brand new to ICD-10-CM coding. Now, before taking this course I had tried patient scenario coding and learning by jumping into the deep end of the pool. I did learn quite a bit. Still a novice I jumped into this course. I did well and I have to say, I learned a lot! When I made a mistake and I could finally see the answer it was not only correct codes that were given but the rationale of where to start and how to look them up. THAT is the learning part of this and I love it. I don't want to be spoon fed the answer because you really don't learn by just that.
So, for me, prioritizing/sequencing the codes was what I needed to learn.
Multiple codes and additional characters were also what I learned more about in this course.
So, basically what I learned in this course has added awareness to my new skill set. When coding, I know to ask myself the right questions about what I'm doing.
I still have a long way to go but this was a big step!
Hope there are more tutorials to come Victoria.
It’s so easy to follow along with the lecture. I’ve learned so much about the basics of ICD 10 CM.

I Passed the CPC Exam on 12/21! This is a great review of the basics and other essentials that I missed when I was just studying to pass the test. Everything is starting to come together! Thank you Victoria.

Great Refresher
I needed a refresher on guidelines I don't typically use. This was great in helping explain a few issues I was having with diabetes and cardiac diagnoses.

More instructions
I was looking for more in depth assistance with help finding the term. And more of explaining locating the correct code and not just reading from the script.
