The Essential Medical Coding Exam Tips

Medical coders are an elite bunch of individuals that work in the background of the healthcare landscape, working for both organizations and the patients that visit. They don’t need to be in the limelight because they know that what they do is at the heart of this industry and they help keep it pumping. If you’re watching this video, it’s likely that you’re either already a professional medical coder or have ambitions to be one. If you’re the latter, you’re probably getting ready to overcome the speed bump in your way...the medical coding exam. Regardless of which stage of this career you’re at, there’s always room for improvement in your test-taking skills -- especially considering how many different certifications there are within this field. Even if you’re a master test-taker, it doesn’t hurt to research what to expect for preparation’s sake.

The only way to pass any test, especially one that’s as comprehensive as any of the ones relevant to your career choice is to study. Not to mention you have to pay to take them, so you might as well come prepared. It’s no secret that these tests are very comprehensive. After all, the majority of them take an entire afternoon to complete. You really have no other choice but to purchase an official study guide textbook for the exam you’re taking. A lot of the testing organizations offer bundles that include the entry-fee and their study guide books. Since it’s from the official site, these are great resources that you shouldn’t overlook. My second tip for you is to not be afraid to ask for outside help while you’re preparing. When Youtube first started out way back in 2005, I don’t think anyone foresaw how helpful it could be in education. From raw lecture videos to animated shorts, there are hundreds of thousands of hours of educational content on the video juggernaut free to consume. There’s so much helpful content about preparing you for these exams that some of the certified coders who answered our question recommended channels. One specific channel is Code Master Coach. Her sole purpose is to share the knowledge and expertise she’s gained over the course of her 28-year medical coding career. She has over 200 videos for you to watch and learn from a practicing professional. Third, don’t overthink the questions during the exam. According to Dr. Timothy Coppock, “Anxious over-thinking can result in missed deadlines, impaired decision making, and disrupt professional performance.” But, if you take every question as it comes and keep a cool head, you won’t slip up and overthink what they’re asking you. Regardless of the medical coding exam you’re taking, it has a time limit associated with it. Thus, you’ll have to keep a certain pace while you’re working through it or you won’t finish in time. If you’re done and complete your test ahead of schedule, go back through it and review it. My fourth tip for you is to bring snacks. Spending an entire morning or afternoon devoted to a medical coding exam isn’t easy on your body. Look at it this way, the average workday is 8 hours long, 4 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon. In between, there’s time allotted for 30 minute to 1 hour-long lunch. Some of these exams take up to five hours long. That’s 1 hour over a standard workday’s “shifts”. My point after all of this is that you’re going to get hungry. That doesn’t mean you should pack a whole meal with you, unpack it after question 50 and start eating an enter buffet. Smaller snacks that don’t make a lot of noise are the perfect option. The final medical coding exam prep tip I have for you is to use a strategy you’re comfortable with. Everyone has their own way of taking tests, these are generally habits we picked up from grade school that stay with us all the way through high school and beyond. I bet once the day comes to take your medical coding exam you’ll find that you end up returning to your old strategies. That’s OK, as long as you’re comfortable with them and they’re productive. However, the last thing you’ll want to do is to leave any questions blank. Even if you don’t know it, you’ll at least have a 25% chance that your guess is right. It doesn’t matter which medical coding exam you take, they’re all difficult in their own way. ► Reach out to Etactics @ https://www.etactics.com ►Subscribe: https://rb.gy/pso1fq to learn more tips and tricks in healthcare, health IT, and cybersecurity. ►Find us on LinkedIn:   / etactics-inc   ►Find us on Facebook:   / etacticsinc   #MedicalCodingExam #MedicalCoding
