I am getting ready to start my Advanced Coding section and still have not decided which certification I should try for.  Any suggestions?  I gave no background in the medical field.  Should I do Physicians, Hospital, etc.?

I can someone tell me where to find the additional information that is required to complete the incident report? I seem to be struggling and it should be straight forward common sense,  as the instructor stated!

Below I have listed the information provided in my assignment to complete the report and the comments from instructor after grading my assignment 60%. 

Assignment Objectives    - copy word for word out of simchart

Search for a patient record.  

Access office forms.   

Complete an incident report for a patient-related incident.

Assignment Description

Celia Tapia experiences issues with repeated urinary tract infections. She is in the office today to provide a clean catch urine specimen. Around 10:30 am, after providing the specimen and while washing her hands, she spilled water on the floor and slipped. Dr. Martin determined that Ms. Tapia developed minor bruising. Complete an incident report for this accident.

Instructor Comments

Witness, department, designation, reported by and other persons involved are incorrect (Where is that information?) it not listed in my Assignment description.  Incident descriptions need to be detailed accounts of what happened, your is vague.  An example of a prevention is anon slip absorbent mat on the floor.  (Where is that information?)

Per Instructors comments from a previous post in regards to assignment 7, which has been delete or moved my link no longer works.

“Incident report was covered briefly its important information to learn. Its common sense, all boxes need to be populated”

Could this be because I am using 2015 text books I received my books in Dec 2015 thought they should have been 2016. There are so many post about 2016 and 2017 books and I was sent 2015 I hope the rest of the books are current. 

 

 

 

2015/2016 Textbooks??

$

I've learned that students are now receiving all 2016 textbooks. I received my books for Basic and Intermediate Coding a couple of months ago, and a couple of them are 2015 (including the main textbook for both courses so far, 2015 Step-By-Step Medical Billing and Coding). Will this have a big effect on my chances of passing a certification exam? Do I need to request 2016 books? I am already so nervous about a certification exam!

The info that I have read multiple times seems to be a bit unclear.

SimChart issues

Has anyone had any troubles with SimChart not letting them log in? I logged in last week and did the graded project but I did not do the exercises. I went to log in to do the exercises and it say I don't have any content under my log in. I tried to enter in the course code and it wanted me to type my access code in again. It won't except it since I have already registered. Has anyone else had this problem?

I sent a private message to all of you a week ago asking for help  with my Basic Coding Graded Projects results. I haven't heard from any of you.  I also called the school, they said one of the instructors would call me back. Still waiting. Can someone please help me since I can not post anything regarding test results here on the community?

 

thanks

Marina.

So, my header for this discussion is pretty cheesy but I hope it caught the attention of the new medical and coding students. I'd like to get to know some of you in this course so that we can help each other out. Any takers? I have facebook, twitter, and skype. Or if it is easier we could exchange numbers to help each other further. Thanks in advance!

CPT (and HCPCS?) Books Backordered?

I just finished up the Basic Medical Coding Unit and want to start working on Intermediate, but after reading the beginning of the study guide I realized that I haven't gotten the CPT (and HCPCS?) books. Looking at the My Courses page I noticed it says "Backordered" on the Intermediate Medical Coding unit... So I guess I'm up the creek until I get those books and have no idea how long it will be. I'm not happy because I was hoping to get this all done and get a job by fall. I haven't found a way on my student portal to contact an instructor or anyone about it.
