The good thing about home health coding is that almost everyone has to be trained. You only code diagnoses... no procedure coding what-so-ever. So it is important to have a good handle on CM guidelines, aftercare coding, 7th character assignment... the rest can be taught to you in a relativity short period of time. If you want to reach out to me, ill be happy to give you some pointers to help you stand out from the rest. If they are considering you with a CPC and no previous home health experience, then I'm assuming they are willing to train you. Ill help you with a few pieces of information that may show then you have basic home health coding knowledge, and are worth being trained. you can email me at
