While completing the lesson for Week 5, I realized that I struggle with figuring out the right terms to look up for the CPT and PCS codes. Most times I do fine, but there are times when I really struggle, especially with the PCS codes that have similar terms. Destruction, Revision, Excision, Extirpation...I have to really look at what each term means, because I feel like they could all mean the same thing! :) I don't have any ideas on how to easily discern which is which, so I'm just relying on repetition. I also struggle with figuring out which E/M CPT code to use for each case. I thought I had it figured out, but I got it wrong more times than not. Again, I don't have a way of figuring it out easily, so if anyone has any advice or tools, please share
