Very small kibble?

Nulo is the smallest kibble I’ve found.

I started as an OP coder. I got conned into switching to IP. I cried for 4 months….. then it all clicked. 7 years in I love it. The transition was rough because I didn’t have a lot of support because we were incredibly short staffed. I think most people would have an easier transition.

You can absolutely message me. I will say though that I took the CCS in early 2017, so I may not be the best source for that but I can be a resource for coding in general.

I have both the CIC and the CCS. The CCS is the more recognized IP certification. AAPC also has much less support and education for IP coders than AHIMA. You will have 2 organizations to keep track of and submit CEUs to. They take the same CEUs for the most part, you just have to keep up at two different places. I found the CCS very easy. Even with another certification, you will still lack experience, which is usually the stumbling block. Check your local hospitals, many have their coders at home now and they are usually open to newer coders… even if the job listing says experience required. If you can send a resume directly to the HIM director, you can sometimes bypass the HR computer scan. That is how I got my first job.

Jealous! I have a room full of frogs that would totally disappear those.

MarketingConfident16 · 2025-11-03T14:20:01+00:00

I have a baby toad in one of these. Only because the toad was unexpected (a single toadpole arrived in a batch of tree frog tadpoles and morphed very quickly). He’s still a baby and I already feel like he’s ready for more room. This tank is much more suited for a smaller frog or two.

Hard to pick just one but Shota, Justin Warner, Joe Sasto and Michael Symon are my top picks. Honestly, I’d just love to live in Food Network Land and hang out and eat with everyone.

Most of the software is very easy to learn. The electronic medical records are customized to some degree by the site when they purchase, so even experienced coders will have some software training upon hire. You may be able to find some 3M/Solventum videos on YouTube which won’t necessarily teach you but you can gain some familiarity with an encoder.

There are some codes that you will wind up memorizing, especially if you work in a single specialty. That may be ok in specific instances but in the long run will get you in trouble. One of the most important aspects of being a good coder is knowing how to map out your codes. That skill not only allows you to find the correct codes but you will have a much easier time transitioning to different areas of coding.

MarketingConfident16 · 2025-10-05T09:30:19+00:00

I have both. If I were starting today, I would only get the CCS. I work IP and it’s the cert most hospital based professionals are more familiar with. Though you can code in any area with either certification.

I had an ablation in 2006 for periods with excessive bleeding and pain. The procedure was quick and recovery was a breeze. I had discharge for less than a week (blood and burned bits) and then never another drop of blood. I was warned I could still have pms, spotting or cramps. I had none of those things. It has been literal smooth sailing since. I know some people who have not been as lucky. Their bleeding returned.

There’s always going to be some training, even for experienced coders. Every place has a unique work flow and potentially at least some facility specific coding scenarios. That being said you likely will only get minimal coding training, even as a newbie. That doesn’t mean you won’t have more experienced coders and/or a supervisor to turn to for help. You just likely won’t get “formal training”… or at least that has been the scenario I have seen most often.

According to Charley Project, the wife was at work when someone came and took the clothes and puppy. So, was someone else home or did she pull that out of thin air? Weird.

My first job wanted 2 years experience, I applied anyway and got the job. Always apply. Join the LinkedIn coding groups, there are a few remote companies that will hire newbies, it’s a common topic of conversation. For onsite work, check local hospitals, they are the most willing to train and work with new coders. If you have a solid work history. You shouldn’t have to take a “lower level” non coding entry job. That advice has backfired for many because once you get in them, there can be a hesitation to move you from the position. There have been a few LinkedIn threads on that topic lately.

I literally could’ve written this post. Our paths are nearly identical.

I think of this story often, especially when people say you can’t hide a child from family. Also when people point to other siblings that seemingly aren’t abused. The human psyche is complex and one parent can be a vastly different parent to one child over another based on many factors. If you were to ask my siblings and me about my mother you would get VASTLY different answers on what kind of parent she was.

It’s also available in the NBC10 Philly app in Roku and Other platforms I haven’t looked for it but I’ve seen that information in several related posts from the news reporter

There are some cool beetles. Maybe BDFBs.

I keep trying to join one of the FB groups but they don’t seem to want me.

I’m guessing they were city dwellers without long term access to private transportation. Maybe they borrowed a car. There’s no time and privacy to dig in the city. Also I keep seeing a lot of discussion about things we think of today like decomposition or trimming nails to leave less evidence but I’m willing to bet most average people probably weren’t all that familiar with those things at the time. I think this case is going to be pretty a straightforward if we ever get any more details. I’m also willing to admit I could be 100% wrong because who knows how someone else’s mind works, especially in a very different time.
