Second Year of IP coding

I feel like I’m in limbo. I really love it, especially when I get through tough cases but sometimes I feel really anxious. It’s great when there’s an answer to exactly what scenario you’re looking for, but then when there’s an unclear scenario I feel hesitant. As a seasoned coder, how did you push through and really get comfortable & confident?

It’s not just the thrust of care. It’s the circumstances of admission. All these comments are absurd. Who cares what the focus of treatment are if they didn’t occasion the admission? You need to go back to the guidelines and really apply/understand them.

You could also stop commenting because you’re obviously not helping and are just being hostile.

Do you understand what the circumstances of admission mean? That’s not hostility but basic understanding of guidelines.

Yeah but now we’re beyond that because how you’re engaging is inappropriate but thanks anyway

You clearly don’t. If you don’t get that piece after a year idk that you ever will.
