Ask an NP – What I Wished I Knew before Graduation

00:01 Before I graduated from FNP school, I would have loved to have a ton of classes on billing and coding.

00:07 So that's something that really wasn't touched on at all in my program.

00:10 I think we had one lunch and learn about it.

00:12 But I didn't realize when you get out into practice, you're going to have to be assigning all the codes for it.

00:18 You're going to have to be deciding what level you're billing at adding on all of these like modifiers then that was just a totally different language that I was unfamiliar with until I got plopped into practice setting and this poor biller to teach me everything on the go and it was literally trial and error and it would have been great to know all of that before I graduated.
