Preparing for a medical coding exam in 2026 and not sure where to start?

In this video, I share a clear, practical roadmap that works for any medical coding exam, whether you are taking the CPC, COC, CCS, CCS-P, or another coding credential exam.

You’ll learn what truly matters on the exam, how to study efficiently, and how to manage your time under pressure. I walk you through the core foundations every coder must know, including ICD-10-CM guidelines, CPT rules, anatomy and physiology, compliance basics, and exam strategy.

Most importantly, I explain my signature technique Reverse Analysis, a proven approach I’ve used since college and throughout my coding career to help eliminate incorrect answers, save time, and stay calm during the exam.

If you want a structured way to master ICD-10-CM, my book ICD-10-CM Made Simple is designed to break down complex guidelines into clear, practical steps. It follows the same teaching approach I use in my videos and has already helped many students build confidence and pass their exams. You can check it out on my website codingwithhoang.com.

This video is for:
• New coders preparing for their first exam
• Experienced coders taking another credential
• Anyone struggling with time management on exams

If you’re serious about passing your coding exam and becoming a confident, real world coder, this roadmap will help you get there.
