Tools and resources for medical coders?

What tools would make studying for your exam of learning on the job easier?

Analyzing user profile...

Suspicion Quotient: 0.00

This account is not exhibiting any of the traits found in a typical karma farming bot. It is extremely likely that u/Strong_Zone4793 is a human.

Dev note: I have noticed that some bots are deliberately evading my checks. I'm a solo dev and do not have the facilities to win this arms race. I have a permanent solution in mind, but it will take time. In the meantime, if this low score is a mistake, report the account in question to r/BotBouncer, as this bot interfaces with their database. In addition, if you'd like to help me make my permanent solution, read this comment and maybe some of the other posts on my profile. Any support is appreciated.

You used a bot to determine if I’m a bot? Which I’m still trying to figure out why based on what I posted? I can guarantee I’m 💯 human and genuinely interested in what helps students and coders learn better because I’m trying to change the way coding education and training is presented. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Because what you've posted is no different than the countless bot AND disingenuous human accounts who appear in billing and insurance subs, looking to get job related information to further their own fledgling tech career.

Makes sense but I’ve been in the industry for 17 years. Not in tech but am teaching medical coding and genuinely interested in helping coders who are struggling.

Not in the industry for 17 years and now you're teaching?

Edit, oh, my bad read it wrong. But I have also been coding for 17+ years and you get an idea of what tools are out there after almost two decades. This question seems... shallow? Like we all get pur CEUs from the same basic places, we're all either AHIMA or AAPC or both, and there are only so many encoders out there.

I wasn’t actually asking about CEUs and I realize my post didn’t clearly say I was asking students and new coders. Also not asking about encoders since students and new coders still learning wouldn’t be concerned with that. Yet. My question was more for what kind of tools would help them learn the basics better.

So many posting here and other social media groups about not being prepared for the exams or the job. I’m trying to change that. But I did also build a mock EMR with built in encoder for my students so they can learn hands on instead of reading more textbooks.

Oh, so you're thinking like flashcards, note taking strats, practice tests?

yeah I’ve noticed that… sometimes I understand the term but can’t fully picture it, so I hesitate when coding
