Hello fellow psych coders,
I am new to psychiatry and have not found a lot of helpful information on coding psych. There is some, such as the APA and books by Chester Schmidt. There are a few courses and such offered, but they look like they are mostly for physicians rather than coders.
I think it would be great to start an email network of psych coders, where we could send out quick questions to each other during the work day and they could be answered by anyone who has a minute to help out. We could help each other out and maybe we could all do the best possible job with our psych coding.
This is what my colleagues and I do where I work, and it works so well! The only problem is: none of us has much experience with psych coding.
Please post your email address to add to the list, or just say what you think of this idea.
