Hi, Paleigh,Have you asked your instructor for help? She should be able to come up with additional material for you. If she has not offered any, it might be that she feels you have enough to give you the exposure you need.
You don't actually need for someone to provide you with practice exercises, though. Just create them yourself. Yes, you CAN do this!
Just pick a code in the book, then write a "scenario" for that procedure--a sample doctor's note or coding question. To do this, you'll usually have to compare several similar codes. You'll have to really read them! That will help you figure out the differences among them.
This is one of the best ways to learn, in fact. If you do this with all the codes you're studying, you'll be surprised at how much you can learn.
After you have a sheet-full of these examples, you can go to your teacher and ask her to check them for you!
There is a website which offers some training materials for physician office staff. You can find materials on ICD-9 and CPT, and more. They're downloadable Adobe Acrobat files. It's www.floridamedicare.com. When you get there, you'll have to read a disclaimer notice and click that you agree, then click "enter." It will let you in to the main page. From there, select the education/training choice over on the left side. Roam around on the pages until you find things that look useful. They have documents for several medical specialties and E&M, too.
Coding is an interesting field and it's a worthwhile occupation, so I hope you continue to enjoy it. We're glad you stopped by our website, too!
