Megan, I found when I started the Anesthesia in the CPT, to just read through the whole chapter, read all the guidelines in the CPT and in our Kuehn, then go back and read again. If I did not know what a particular word meant, I would google that, but other than googling a word description, I only used the books. Sometimes the index does provide some insight as well. Hope this helps.
Hi Megan,
I too was in a very similar situation. I was reading through the books at the beginning of the module and felt completely lost. I emailed our instructors and continued to read the books again. Once I had a response from the instrutor I didn't feel likeĀ it was all me. She explained we should have some growing pains as we start CPT coding. It does eventually click- as it has for me- so hang in there!
Good luck!
Thanks you everyone!
