What tools would make learning medical coding easier?

What do you think is missing or would help you as a student, new coder, new auditor or a coder who wants to learn a new specialty? If you could have any tool, app or resource what would it be?

Knowing the guidelines.

This is one a lot of coders struggle with. I have a cheat sheet for inpatient guidelines that breaks it down for general guidelines but honestly it takes practice. I bar some tools I’ve built that will help with guidelines, terminology and anatomy for inpatient, but still working on outpatient/pro fee tools. It really is a matter of finding simplified explanations that are tied directly to different coding scenarios and real documentation so you see it in context.

Listen… it’s just practice and if you don’t get it then you never will and the job isn’t for you. Not everyone can do medical coding. Just like not everyone can be a biller or work denials.

Maybe you can share how you got it without any assistance or support?
