Great At Walking You Through Roadblocks

I've been studying Medical Billing/Coding online and hit a huge roadblock when it was time to actually start using the ICD-10-CM manual for assignments. We spoke briefly about how my program is setup as well as the particular manual my course provided. She did recommend the ICD 10 Bucks is a better learning tool than the one I had. I'm going to purchase that one but she went with me step by step with one of my assignments to help me read the manual I have as well. She did a great job guiding me through each step and patiently waiting as I awkwardly thumbed through that massive book. Highly recommend especially if you feel totally lost.

A patient and knowledgeable tutor

Slyvia is helping me to understand how to code Inpatient Charts using ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes. Since this is my first time experiencing this type of coding, Slyvia is explaining what documents (Operative Report, Nurses Documentation, Admissions Report, Etc.) I must review to understand what must be coded for the hospital to receive full payment.

Sylvia is very patient and really knows Coding.

Sylvia taught me about the CPT codes and HCPCS and ICD-10 CM coding when looking up information on Operative Reports. Sylvia is very knowledgeable about coding and how to how to find things in their proper place and we discussed Modifiers for each. These sessions are very helpful to me! I have already booked another appointment for next week.
