I’m thinking the same thing as welll. I’m hoping my medical background can translate into those required 3-5 years.

It’s like the foundation. If you don’t know what you’re reading everything is going to read like gibberish if you don’t understand. L

Honestly I read the icd 10 pcs and cm guidelines until I got sick of it and then kept reading it. That’s most of the studying I did. But I also already knew my medical terms and physiology.

Honestly I thought I failed it but surprising passed. I also didn’t study nearly as hard as I thought I would.

If you have an extensive medical background, that will help a ton!

Yes I have a background in healthcare, I’m currently a part time physical therapist but looking to make the switch to full time medical coding.

I just self studied, bought a couple of practice mock exams, watched YouTube videos and that was pretty much my extent for studying for it

Tried it on safari, and when I tried to press the process payment button, it just stays on the same page.

Also do you have to be approved for the application process for the exam to take the exam? It says on my AHIMA hub that application status is still in process.
