Thank You
Could you please supply the answers to the practice exam.....otherwise what's the point in taking it?
Thinking about taking this exam but if the answers are not posted, how do you know how you scored?
ok i will post answers to Practice medical coding test
This practice exam has been extremely helpful - THANK YOU!
where are other answers?
Missing half the answers so didn't take the full test. But overall great website Thank you
Thank you for the pre-test.
Where are the answers?
I am using HCPCS 2009 and CPT 2010. Per HCPCS 2009, answer #21 is B, as there isn't even a J1090 listed, and as is #24. #24 would also be B according to HCPCS 2009. #26 is also B according to CPT version 2010. This is very obvious as you just have to open almost any page and see the bullet down at the bottom and it tells you right there, "New code." And #31 is obviously C if you have CPT 2010, and I would guess CPT 2009 as well as CPT hasn't changed THAT much. Check out page 437 in CPT 2010 for this answer. I have a feeling that #34 is C, though I don't have my book in front of me at the moment.
How did you guys find #25? And where are the rest of the answers?
It would be helpful if all of the aswers where included so you can see how you faired. Thank you.
