What is Medical Billing and Coding?

I am considering becoming certified and wanted an overview. Very straight forward but also not complex

This free course gives you an idea on how medical and billing career path. I really like this because it gives me an idea on how this career I am pursuing to. More of this.

I was able to understand some terminologies that I am having hard time understanding by reading on some random websites on Google.

I really enjoyed this! It gave me an idea of what to expect in the future. I am currently enrolled in a Medical Billing & Coding Program so it was helpful. Thanks!

I could not search on the PDFs for the codes but they downloaded fine and I could scroll on them. The resources will work best in a PC.

Gave me a good idea what to expect in this field and helped me to make the decision on if this is a career I want to follow

It's good since it's free but if paid I'll rate it 1 star. The last sections were helpful for me since it has a demo of using EHR. Thanks for the free lessons. I learned something new.

This course was amazing. I would definitely recommend this for anyone starting out in their training journey.

The course is a very good introduction to Medical Coding and Billing. The videos were short but informative, and everything was easy to digest. I would very much recommend this for people interested in medical coding and would like to know a little bit more before committing to a paid course.

I've been looking to start a career in this field. This course is giving me a good expectation of what my day to day will look like, and giving me helpful information as far as what materials I'll likely need.

It is very interesting and a wealth of knowledge. I'd like to see more with Behavioral Health as well.

Confused about how many manuals - first said 3 manuals (ICD-10-CM; CPT; and HCPCS. Then in later section mentioned another manual - Bucks Coding Manual. The first few examples used the ICD-10-CM index and tabular list documents to find the codes but for the 5th example used Bucks Coding Manual but didn't say why used a different manual.

So far, I've completed Sections 1 & 2. The instructor speaks clearly and goes at a good pace. I liked going through the ICD coding examples & exercises in Section 2. I think it would've been helpful though if there were more explanations in the first two course sections. In Section 1, lesson 3 on "Medical Biller's Tasks", I thought I heard the term "EOB" mentioned. While I know "EOB" stands for "Explanation of Benefits", those who may not know would have to pause the video to Google "EOB". It doesn't take much to Google something, but it can be a little distracting and take time & attention away from the objectives of a lesson. In Section 2, lesson 4 on "ICD-10-CM Intro and Example 1", there are Resources for download along the right side of the screen. These Resources might be missed if the video is viewed in full screen mode, so lesson 4 should begin with a suggestion to pause the video in order to download the files that will be used throughout Section 2. A couple of other tips that would've also been useful at the start of Section 2 are: 1) Search on the broader term in a given diagnosis (i.e. for "Smoker's cough", search on the broader term "cough") and 2) If there is no mention on whether a condition is acute or chronic, assume the condition is acute (i.e. if you're only given the condition "Rhinitis", assume the condition is "Rhinitis, acute").

this is my 1st course in medical billing and coding , from this i got lot of information . if you are interested in coding and billing 100% recommended .

Very good content and the practice activities helped make the information easier to apply. Great overview of Billing & Coding process.
