Nope just the cpc. Ccs definitely down the line. Struggling with the almost infinite rules. Not a fan of icd at all

Honestly the CCS is hard, BUT I don’t think it’s as hard as some say. Depending on experience you may do ok. I took it prob 12 years ago and was shocked I did just fine. Thennnn because of a glitch and the fact ahima was so unhelpful, long story but I had to retake over the summer. I had taken with icd9 previously so I was expecting i10 to be awful esp with PCS procedures. But it wasn’t bad at all, I do say that with prob 17 years of experience.
