best anesthesia education ever!
Excellent job! I’ve been coding anesthesia for a couple of years now and this covered all I would want a new person to know EXCEPT examples of emergency circumstances and explaining how ASA codes are organized (by body region).

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.
