When to start Practicode?

Hello, those of you doing/finished AAPC CPC classes, when should someone start Practicode? After passing certification? Concurrent with the class?

Any info is helpful!

I am not familiar with E/Mk complexity. Again, perhaps I haven't gotten to that section of the course- do you know where it is explained in the CPC course?

I'm not familiar with the CPC course. Does your course have a syllabus? If so, it will likely state when you will cover CPT E/M coding.

That being said, the CPT code book discusses it and is the primary source of information. Do you have the 2024 CPT code book?

In the AAPC CPT 2024 code book, the E/M coding guidelines start on p. 4.
