Medical Coding (Quick Study Academic) Pamphlet – October 6, 2006

I love this insert gives me all the tips I needed for ICD 9, CPT, HCPCS, all the core coding procedures, and practices even has some HIPPA included... I love that they are laminated, and have helped me in and out of the classroom...I've purchased 13 of these medical related inserts:Medical Terminology:The BasicsMedical Terminology: The BodyAnatomy TerminologyMedical Abbreviations & AcronymsMuscular SystemJoints & LigamentsMedical Coding: ICD -9 & ICD -10 CMSkeletal SystemMedical CodingMuscular Origins & InsertionsSpanish Medical ConversationEvaluation & Management (E/M) Coding CalculatorDigestive SystemI had basically grown up, and had decided to move into the medical customer service/administrative assistant side, so I needed help without having to tug heavy textbooks around... I purchased these in 2013, it is now 2016 and they still look brand new like if I had purchased them just yesterday... I highly recommend to anyone just starting out in this field, and would like a cheat sheet if you will to have handy without having to search all over the internet, your phone, textbooks, and etc... Although I do recommend that you search to make sure if any newly updated inserts have come out...

Medical Coding Quick Study AcademicI just finished a 9-month course in Medical Billing and Coding. Heard about these and ordered 5 i think. They were for medical coding in different areas, medical terminology, medical abbreviations and things like that. I used them ALL the time, and I was shocked that they actually helped me when I was studying for the CPC exam (which I passed on the first try! WEEE!!!) When I first got them and found out how valuable they would be for this course, I showed them to some of my classmates (I had them with me in school everyday) and they got them and 2 passed the course with flying colors and passed the certification exam. The other one passed the course, but barely missed the exam.If you are looking for any of the quick study guides, they are laminated and totally AWESOME!!!!

Lots of helpful info. I can read a page before watching TV or going to bed. Nicely portable educational material. I am new to coding, but I believe this will help familiarize me with some of the terms and concepts of the coding world. Good purchase.

I am currently a student taking Medical coding and billing and found this helpful because the book I have won't give answers to questions. So this helps me know that I am actually correct in my study skills. This is not something you could take to sit for the certification. Because it is not allowed during the examination. However, it really help's as a study reference. I imagine after someone has been coding for a while they may use it just as reference for a refresher or someone working after taking a vocational course and working a while until they are ready to take the certification exam.

it upset me that it has ICD-9, I expected it to have ICD-10 reference materials but it's ok. Everything else is very useful and helpful

I am currently talking a medical billing and coding class and it is wonderful to have something this reliable and handy to refer to. I have used the Quick Reference Guides in the past and loved them, so when I went back to school I knew that they would be helpful again. Would recommend them to anyone, either studying for a class or just want a reference to refer to for their job.

It's a good reference guide for my coding classes. It does need an update to the current information. Other than that, for the price, it's still a great study guide.

If you are purchasing this note sheet as an appendix/helper to a course you are taking, I'm not sure this will be incredibly useful (unless you need help with terms/definitions). I was hoping this would have a quick reference guide to what the various symbols mean ie lightning bolt etc (if you are in a course you know what i mean) it only lists a couple of these symbols ie brackets, colon....it also doesn't have modifiers (maybe there is another med coding quick sheet with those, as it would be nice to not have to lose one page in cpt book to flip to those. It does have some helpful info regarding order of sequencing, ie neoplasms, newborns etc. The sepsis section is good but it seems like a lot of this trifold laminated coding sheet is just abbreviations and terms, i was looking for something w/more of an application to actual coding. Example, it points out that diabetes is always coded first...these are the kinds of tips I was looking for....but the whole first page is terms/definitions. I kind of wish they would make two of these, one with practical coding tips and one w/abbreviations/definitions/terms....oh well, it's somewhat useful and for the price you may as well give it a shot if you are taking a course.
