Do you consider $179 for 13 hours of review training an "arm and a leg"? If not see this page https://www.cco.us/medical-coding-certification-cpc-review-blitz/. There are plenty of testimonials from students that swear by these videos and the techniquest taught such as the bubbling and highlighting technique https://www.cco.us/testimonials/

I am studying to re-take the cpc for the second time. I did finish with about 40 minutes left the first time. I failed with a 61. I had to save for the blitz videos but they are a good resource. They basically show you things you may not think of and how to handle certain codes. She does a better job than my online university did in showing how to code. I've also been told if you have any reimbursement knowledge to throw it out the window. Because for the most part it will effect the way you study for the exam. There are places on the web to get free resources but there always in bits and pieces and you do not know if the information is correct. Look on youtube channel for cco.org. It you like how she teaches then go for the blitz viedos.
Good luck in studying.. I wish you well.

I'm really happy to found, such a great resources , mainly videos, I do prefer to learn by viewing the videos, because viewing it visually makes me to grab more info, when compared to reading.

I thought I was unique being such a visual learner but after sharing how I taught myself I have found many coder like minded people are very visual as well. I'm happy my "strange" learning methods work for others!

I totally agree. I had no actual job experience when I took my Physician Based Coding course, which was a superb class, but the Blitz videos really sealed in what I needed to know to pass, and I, too, passed with an 85! Even had a few minutes of time to spare.
I plan on taking the Blitz Videos when it gets closer to take my CCS-P exam. When is it a good time to take the Blitz Videos? I plan on taking my CCS-P exam in the fall.

Yes, it is in the Blitz student's Forum... sorry I did not notice this before.
This is the content I wanted you to see... This was posted by me on April 5, 2013:
I guess that will depend on who you ask, but truthfully, I found it very helpful to highlight and bubble while I was taking the course. It's an extremely efficient way to get the differences in the codes to pop out at you, and you can certainly use that while you are doing the exercises in the textbook and workbook! And of course, during the exams, too!
Try it and see... The Blitz videos give you educational tips that will strengthen your understanding: I see no reason to hold back on getting this input until after you have made it through the course. I wouldn't just to the Blitz, because you will miss info that is in the course, and not in the Blitz, but if you are doing them simultaneously... well, it worked for me!

I like for students to start the Blitz early if they are able. If you work full time, and are doing both the MTA and PBC course it might help you to start at the mid-term. Some have even waited until they have completed the PBC course.
The fact is that you can start it any time. It is great stuff. I am in fact reviewing it as I am taking an exam on Saturday.

Thanks for the information. What is the textbook and workbook you use for the Blitz videos?

Carolyn,
Re: the textbook and workbook -- I was referring to the textbook and workbook that was used during the Physician Based Coding course I took. The point is that whenever you are working on coding exercises, you will benefit from having the information that is given in the Blitz program.
The Blitz program has a handout package, not a textbook.
Thank you, Ruth
