The test at the end was not good. I felt like it confused me more than tested me.
Good challenging refresher
All of the courses I gave taken have been EXCELLENT.

Well done – I struggle with CVA and MI coding as my experience is limited to outpatient coding and auditing. I have gained a lot more confidence in both categories.
The instructor is very easy to understand and uses a perfect pace.
Great information
GOOD
very good
great job!! loved the A
Difficult, too much information at once.
This course helped me to get the codes more organized. Differentiating the types of diseases by group gave me a better understanding of chapter 9.
