84 reviews for Procedure Coding for Anesthesiology
Way to long and hard to learn from videos.
I feel like this was more for billers than it is for coders
I would have even liked more indepth information. I wish AHIMA offered a more advanced certificate for a specialist in Anesthesiology coding. Upon researching I have found only AAPC only offers an advanced cert.
