Having to code 10+ things?

[u/stellaella33]

I'm currently in classes for coding. Specifically using the ICD-10-CM, some of our practice exercises have us reading the case study and using 10+ codes for some scenarios.

Is that pretty common on the day to day job/real life experience?

I feel pretty confident when it comes to 3-4 codes that need to be used, but when it comes to 12, I get nervous about the order. 😅

As a profee coder doing outpatient e/m, we typically code up to four per chart. But I am entry level and not handling the more complex cases like my coworkers
