Behind the BlueprintÂ
Tasha T. Jones, CCS, CCDS
AHIMA Approved ICD-10-CM/PCS Trainer
Â
"Empowering Your Future in Medical Coding, One Code at a Time."
Tasha Jones — known as Coach Tash — is a nationally recognized Inpatient Medical Coding Expert, Consultant, Educator, and Mentor with over 25 years of experience in the healthcare revenue cycle industry.
“At 25, I was a single mother of three on food stamps with a GED and no medical background. Inpatient medical coding didn’t just give me a career — it gave me the world.”Â
Coach Tash has coded and audited in Level 1 and Level 2 trauma centers, consulted in 33 out of 50 states, traveled to Manila, Philippines to train international coding teams, and served as a Region A RAC auditor for the federal government. She has worked across inpatient coding, auditing, compliance, Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), and education throughout her career.
 She holds the Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) credential, is an AHIMA-approved ICD-10-CM/PCS trainer, and has held the Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS) credential. Her career spans acute care hospital systems of every size — from community hospitals to major health systems — giving her a depth of real-world expertise that no textbook can replicate.
 Today, through 'Blueprint to Inpatient Medical Coding Success', Tasha Jones Academy and TashTalksCoding.com, Coach Tash teaches aspiring and current coders how to break into or level up in inpatient medical coding — with or without a medical background. She has trained over 655 students, (of which 240+ of her students now work in inpatient coding careers), built a growing community across TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, and is on a mission to prove that your past does not determine your potential.Â

Look what others are saying...
“I’d failed my CCS exam before. After working through the Blueprint, I passed — and moved into an inpatient position with better pay and better hours. The way Tasha breaks down PCS was the game changer.”
“As a working mom, I needed something clear, structured, and efficient. The Blueprint let me use every minute wisely. My confidence shot up — and so did my accuracy scores at work.”
“Before this program, inpatient coding felt completely out of reach. In less than 90 days, I went from overwhelmed to confidently coding charts on my own. The step-by-step Blueprint and practice cases made the difference.”
PLATINUM BUNDLE
The complete 9-week inpatient coding blueprint.
This is the program I built for the coder I used to be — the one who needed someone to break it all down, show me the real charts, and stop pretending inpatient coding is something you can just figure out from a textbook.
Over 9 weeks, you’ll learn the foundation of the medical coding industry and how to code real-world cases with the confidence of someone who’s been doing it for years.
What’s included:
• The complete Blueprint course book — the full curriculum, structured the way I wish someone had taught me
• A focused study guide designed to lock in what matters and skip what doesn’t
• On-demand video coaching library answering the exact questions my students ask most — so you can get unstuck at 2am or 2pm, no waiting
• Real patient charts, real scenarios, real practice
Who this is for:
• Aspiring coders starting from zero (with or without a medical background)
• Clinical nurses bridging into CDI who need coding fluency
• Outpatient coders ready to break into inpatient and earn what they’re actually worth
What you’ll walk away with:
The ability to open a chart and know what to do. Confidence reading physician documentation. Command of ICD-10-CM and PCS step-by-step. And a clear path from “I have no idea what I’m looking at” to “I can code this.”

1:1 COACHING WITH COACH TASH
One hour. Your questions. Real answers.
Sometimes you don’t need another course — you need someone who’s actually done the work to sit with you, look at what you’re stuck on, and tell you exactly what to do next.
That’s what this session is for.
Whether you’re preparing for your CCS or CCA exam, struggling with a specific type of chart, trying to break into inpatient coding, or navigating a career decision — bring it. We’ll spend the full hour on you.
What we’ll cover:
• Your specific coding gaps and how to close them
• The questions you haven’t been able to get answered anywhere else
• Career strategy — whether that’s landing your first inpatient role, moving into CDI, or positioning yourself for remote work
• Real charts, real scenarios, real guidance from 25 years in the field
Who this is for:
Coders who are serious about their next step and want direct access to someone who’s coded in Level 1 trauma centers, audited for the federal government, and trained teams across 33 states and internationally.

31-ROOT OPERATIONS FLASHCARDS
Â
Lock in the PCS objective every time.
The 31 root operations are the backbone of ICD-10-PCS — and the place most coders get stuck. Confuse Excision with Resection, or Repair with Restriction, and your entire PCS code falls apart.
These flashcards drill the root operations into long-term memory so you stop second-guessing and start coding faster.
Use them for:
• CCS and CCA exam prep
• Quick daily review between patient charts
• Building PCS confidence from the ground up
Designed by a 25-year inpatient coder who knows exactly which distinctions trip students up the most.

High-Yield CCS/CCA Exam Flashcards
Â
The concepts most likely to show up on exam day.
Â
Not every inpatient coding concept is equally weighted on the CCS or CCA exam — but most study programs treat them like they are. That’s why students spend months studying and still fail.
These high-yield flashcards focus on the exact concepts you’re most likely to see tested, drawn from 25 years of exam prep experience and 655+ students guided to certification.
Use them for:
• Final review in the weeks before your exam
• Targeted study when time is short
• Reinforcing the concepts that matter most on test day
Less memorizing. More passing.

CCS/CCA Complete Study Guide
Â
78 pages. Every step. First-attempt pass.
Most coders don’t fail the CCS or CCA because they don’t know the material — they fail because they don’t know how to prepare for the exam itself. Different beast, different strategy.
This study guide gives you the exact path I’ve walked 655+ students down to their certification. Step-by-step, no fluff, no filler — just what you actually need to sit for the exam with confidence and pass on your first attempt.
What’s inside:
• 78 pages of focused, exam-specific guidance
• The exact concepts most heavily tested on CCS and CCA
• Study strategies that maximize your time (even if you only have a few weeks)
• Proven preparation methods from 25 years in inpatient coding
Who this is for:
Coders preparing for the CCS or CCA exam who want to pass the first time — not the third.
