I am a transcriptionist and am appalled at the typographical errors in this sample test. #5 for example.."medical compartment"....It should be MEDIAL.
ReplyDelete15 should be 52353 for Lithotripsy
ReplyDelete491.20 is combo code for chronic bronchitis/Copd not 491.21.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you fussing about? Get your nose out of the air and appreciate that you were giving a free practice exam.You obviously have areas you need help with or you wouldn't be here. Projecting a little????
ReplyDeletehow can you trust the results of the questions if whoever make this test up can't take the time to make it look professional? i would say it is someone from NOT IN THIS COUNTRY so why bother with it? stick with the AAPC for integrity of the test. don't waste your time.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused about #15, instead 52323 it's supposed to be 52353 and also if this is correct you can't use 52353 and 52332 together. Can someone please clarify this to me.
ReplyDelete#12--- 36556 is wright.(quinton catheter)
ReplyDeleteI guess we can't rely on these practice tests.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to publish this information very useful! medical
