Chat Q & AWebinar- February 2015

HCC vs CRAC

Hi Laureen, Kisha here, How different id HCC vs

CRAC coding?

CPC Exam

I'm taking CPC in May I have only been a radiology

(RCC) coder for 25 years. Is this test exclusively

multiple choice? I have been taking practice tests & a

couple have been op reports.

Calculate Units

I have come across conflicting information for

Home Health. Each unit is 15 minutes but are the

units rounded based on the time? EX: 48 minutes

= 3 units but 55 minutes = 4 units. Do you have

any documentation on how to calculate the units?

CPC and HCC

I am curious about the HCC Coder course. Should

I get my CPC first and get "real world" experience

before taking the HCC course, or can one become

an HCC Coder with little experience?
