Absolutely love being an ortho trauma medical coder! Love being able to work from home and be available for my kids more. Couldn't have picked a better career for my personality ❤

Hi Victoria!

Thank you so much for your informative videos. It helped me pass my CPC exam :)

[krockedteeth]

So I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now and you barely mention billing. If I’m in school for a biller/coder and get certified for both then apply for a job will I just do the coding aspect of the certification or will I just do the billing? I haven’t really seen any videos online that discuss both topics

[esmecookbook]

Are their books you can recommend for Nutrition and Dietetics codes

[tracyhagler]

Thank you so much for your content! You have some very informative videos! I’m new to medical coding and all of the certifications are kind of confusing. Which certification do you recommend getting, CPC, COC, CIC? All of them? Is there one that is needed most? Thanks in advance ❤️❤️

Question: looking through the icd-10 diagnosis codes code z34.90 - encounter for routine pregnancy examinations, has a "not acceptable principle diagnosis (for facility billing only)" does this mean that it can not be billed as principal diagnoses on any UBO4? or is this only for inpatient admissions?
