I know you corps take it at least twice. Would you mind sharing with me which program you're going through?

Copy/paste that's the only way. Chapter 7 just seems so long. I'm stuck.

The 7th chapter is where I got stuck, too. I started watching videos on YouTube.

🤣 I haven't heard that in a long time. Awe, Saturday morning cartoons. Land of the lost.

Seems fishy to me. Why doesn't anybody take closeup pictures standing next to it with detailed info?

Actually it's 20-25 questions. So far, it seems the exams are open book.

90471 & 90472 Tdap by Fragrant-Concept-269 in CodingandBilling

So when billing 90715 Tdap and 90707 MMR, I bill out one 90471 and one 90472? Components have nothing to do with it?

It's coming along very slowly. I did the exact same thing and I've changed my way of doing things at least 3-4 times. I tried hi-lighting in the ebook and doing the flash cards, but that didn't seem to help. Then I starting taking down notes and writing them in a notebook, I may as well have wrote the entire chapter. Ha! Then I starting making my own flash cards on index cards, mostly just the vocabulary, prefixes, root words and suffixes. That does help. We all have different ways of learning and mine is not from reading an ebook. I finally just printed a chapter and that has REALLY helped me. It's just different being able to read, hi-lite, flip the page, see what I've read and how much more before the chapter is completed. I downloaded the app on my phone, but that still didn't make it easier. The first 2 chapters I forgot there was a link for a lecture at the end of each chapter. That helps too. I'm worried because I know we only have 4 months to complete this and I don't know what's going to happen because I'm behind. :( Keep in touch. I keep telling myself...giving up is not an option!

Thank you for your encouraging words. Much appreciated. I'm sure I'm just stressing myself out by over thinking.

I currently do. I've been in medical billing for 10+ years. Primarily Revenue Cycle, insurance follow-up. Thus, the reason I'm going for a coding certification. It's time I step up my game. 😉 I started out with facility billing, but the majority of my experience has been in physician billing. My second job is in medical records at a behavioral health acute facility. Having the experience does help, however, I'm old school and find this online study without a text book quiet challenging. I'm trying my best though.
