CPC Exam Survival Guide - What you NEED to know BEFORE taking the test

Where can I find these medical coding training books? My online class did not offer these to me. Thank you for making these videos they are extremely helpful!!

Thank you

Thank you so much for this. It really calmed down my test anxiety.

You have the best content ! I am currently in a training program for the exam. I have 15 years of experience in medical billing, but am semi new to coding. So many other channels give such unnecessary info or just treat what’s in the book!!

Yes I did preliminary practice exam are exam is the same one as the real

Hello victoria i am carol i was nervous at one point about the exam but now i been studying like crazy. your videos are very encouraging to me i would like more insight on how to be more productive in the medical billing and coding.

I am giving myself 6 months to study for exam. I was wondering if I need to purchase the 2024 book for the exam. I have the 2022 thanks

DUMB question - can we have a water bottle with us when we are testing?

Which do you think is better in home exam or at a testing location?

So you said exam time was shotened that it WAS 5 hrs 40 minutes now its 4 hours for the 100 questions?? Thats ind od a disadvantage

I thought the exam was 100 questions and 1:80min test for 2023?

Can you do a video on the different series of the CPT book?

I am getting ready to take my CPC Online Exam next weekend. Do you know if I am allowed to use a table on the side of my desk?

I take my CPC in the morning, I've watched your videos throughout my schooling and you have made my comprehension of coding so much better than before! Fingers crossed I pass with flying colors! <3

is 4 hours is sufficient for 100 marks?

This was incredible info / much needed again! Thanks ohh yea so we can take our exam in 2 sections!? Like one on Tuesday part two on Thursday? Or just meaning a break in between?!

Can you highlight your books that you need for the test

Hello Victoria , are you going to have a cpc review for 2023 . I already got the books to start getting ready and study for the exam. Thank you

Where can I buy that workbook hope you can help me

Are the medical coding cases similar to the AHIMA CCS examination, where there's a drop down menu to select codes? And it's an all or none question. Also overall, how does the CPC exam compare to the CCS?

So I just have a general question on if I should pay for the school or if I should just get the $880 box set I’ve been in medical billing and coding for almost 20 something years. My mom was a certified professional coder and she’s who I learned from a very young age. I started entering charges and posting payments over the summers in high school at 14. I feel I’m extremely familiar with CPT codes and ICD 10 codes, and the correlation between the relationship of how to code and understand the relationship between CPT code and ICD 10 codes and modifiers but my hindrance is I spent 17 years in podiatry, and I just now started billing and coding for pain management, and I feel a little out of my depth. My mom who wrote a book on billing and coding in the 80s when she worked for Lake Worth Medical Center passed away in 2021 from pancreatic cancer so I don’t have her as my font of useless information anymore and I feel like I don’t know as much as I should if you were in my position what would you do?? I am a 43 year old woman I love medical billing but I don’t wanna waste $3000 on some thing that I feel I know very very well when I could spend less than 1000 with some study prep and do pretty well, but what I’m really looking for is to just be at the top of my game with some thing that I have loved for so many years.

Just took a practice exam and got dumpstered exam is Saturday

Thanks for this video! I have a question about the case analysis, what does the online set up look like? I have been using the aapc practice exam and it's so confusing to have to click back and forth and even worse on the test not be able to write anything down. It slows me down and I feel like an in person exam on paper might be a better option

Taking it online sounds ridiculously restrictive...like not being able to simply mute the mic once you've proven you're alone in the room. I have four dogs. Do they think my dogs know the answers to the test and are morse coding me the info with their paw scratches? Crazy.

I passed my exam today!!! Thanks so much for your videos...helped me so much!!!

Hello, I have a question the version of 2022 book is still applicale for 2023 AAPC exams or are they already changing the question in 2023? Thank you

I already my Associates Degree in Medical Offices Billing and coding specialist. I was trying to relieve information on preparing for the test

I am a nurse looking to get into coding as I am getting older

Hi I have no info about cpc. I am a new learner. So I heard about ceu credit. If I pass the exam, do I have ceu credits? I am taking aapc cpc course too. If I completed this course, do I have ceu credit too?

I took the CPC exam online and the proctor told me to stop reading the answers out loud. I was so nervous and have a tendency of “figuring” out an answer by reading it out loud. How embarrassing. 😅 so guys if you take your exam at home just be quiet don’t speak lol 😂

😂 jokes on me, I guess! I have my associate's in coding and have been practicing for my rest for a year now and failed by 1%/ used up ALL of my time

What is HCPC mean?

Where is the area in the book that says 10,000 Series CPT or the 20,000 series CPT? where exactly can I find these?

Hi I heard the CPC Exam is open book, does that mean only your coding book or any book? I'm just worried about the medical terminology questions

I passed my exam with an 88 today!! Thank you for your helpful videos!!!!

Mam can u tell me the preparation of cpc exm time table schedule

I am going for test tomorow for throw and cpc. please wish me luck.

Sorry to hijack. Maybe, there are videos talking about this. But, how hard is it to earn 9 CEUs? I think I have to before December 2022.

Where can I find these books you're showing for training?

Hello, I just discovered your channel and it is great. Help me! I just finished a course and worked so hard at it and now I’m taking the CBCS exam. Well, I’m just learning that I should have been going to a school to get my CPC. Have I wasted my time? I really learned a lot from guidelines, to anatomy, medical terms, and codes. I paid for my courses and now I’m feeling like I’m going to have to go to school all over again 😔

Im
so glad i found you and your channel!!!! Thank you for what you do !!! With your help i think i can do this!!!

Good advice. I do have a suggestion that you make a separate video for "After you pass the CPC" Letting new CPCs that passing the CPC, being a huge step, is step one of many in getting your career started but not the final one. What surprises a lot of new coders is when they go for coding positions, companies want to give them a coding test that catches them off guard. I myself as a CPC ran into this a lot during my job searches. I was also a coding supervisor at a company for a few years and we had the same policy. When I would interview and tell them we had a 25 question coding test, the response was "What?! I already passed the CPC exam!" I think it's very important to bring up situations such as this.

I have worked in food for 18 years. My sister is a coder. She encouraged me to make a career change and I started classes in February. My big exam is July 9th and I'm extremely grateful for your videos. I am extremely nervous though lol

Do have list of reliable workbooks for those who are self-studying? I took a medical coding tech certification course 4 years ago but didn't take the exam at graduation. I am reviewing for the cpc exam in 2022.

this was very clear, I feel certified from watching your entire video

Process of elimination is GREAT!!

you say not to have anything on your desk.. what all does that include. I work from home and have a pretty full desk (office supplies, decor, coffee warmer, fan, lotion etc.. My computer sit on a wooden drawer, is this allowed as long as I dont open it?

if taking the test online are you able to have a second monitor and bring up google?

Which CPC exam would you suggest for me to take? I have noticed that there are lots of companies that offer the exam.
