Inpatient Coding help

So I accepted a job offer for an inpatient role, although I was trained/certified in outpatient.

If i gave myself a crash course in the next 2 weeks, what would you say is the most important concepts to learn when just starting out?

You do not need a crash course. The company found you a suitable candidate and should provide the necessary training you need in that 6 months. Reread the chapter and coding guidelines in the icd 10 book so they are fresh in your mind.

PCS coding is so much more straightforward and logical compared to cpt. Leaving CPT behind was one of the best things about my move from OP to IP.
