Hello. I start my first coding job in 30 days. I am not sure what my speciality will be. I passed the CPC exam in March. Right now I am working in practicode (which is difficult) but I am wondering what people recommend studying before starting a coding position. Thank you so much.

E/M, ICD.10 guidelines, medical terminology.
 
I would talk to your new employer and see what types of coding they do, and then go from there. Where I work, we have a CAH and a PB side. I only do CAH and primarily work in the RHC clinics. They may already have an idea of what they want you to do or an area to get started. Our training started in OP Ref labs to get our feet wet and see how the system operates. Best of luck!
