Hi all,
Newbie/ student here. I'm on chapter 9 of the CPC-H course and absolutely floundering amongst all the guidelines. Every little thing seems to have a guideline attached to it and sometimes, I won't even realize that I need to reference the guidelines at all. I'm going crazy and starting to believe that medical coding as a whole isn't for me. V codes, E codes, their sequencing, multiple diagnoses, diagnoses with (seemingly?) unrelated signs and symptoms... It's all too much for me. What do you, as professional coders, do to make this anything but hell to get through?
