I would’ve have liked to have a copy of this webinar to refer to.
The speaker was hard to follow.
The courses should state the need for icd-10-CM codebook or CPT codebook more prominent upon course choice.
I found this course to be amazingly helpful with scenarios I run into fairly frequently in my daily coding.
EXCELLENT
GREAT REVIEW FOR ME – CODING FOR 20 PLUS YEARS – COULD ALWAYS USE A REVIEW!
