If you're studying for the CCS and you've never been taught these five rules by name — this is exactly why so many smart coders fail their first attempt. Inside this free guide, I break down the sequencing rules, conventions, and root operation logic the exam actually tests. No fluff. No filler. Just the truth about how inpatient coding really works.
What you'll learn inside:
- Why I11.0 sequences first when hypertension and heart failure are both documented
- The "with" convention that determines causal links automatically (and what schools get wrong)
- How to sequence sepsis on an inpatient chart without losing CCS points
- The principal diagnosis rule that ends the "tiebreaker hunt" wasting your exam time
- The ICD-10-PCS guideline that tells you when a laminectomy is NOT separately reportable
