The BHAT™ system stands for "bubble highlight annotation technique" - annotation means just making notes: annotate. And this is how we started with the CCO Blitzes. Laureen Jandroep has taught this from the beginning. She's been doing this- the blitzing technique- and teaching this since in the 90s. We've got information on how that started and examples of that on the www.cco.us website. But ultimately what we're doing is we're showing you how to prepare your CPT manual and annotate your ICD-10 manuals so that that information when you go look up those codes like I was just showing you, they leap off the page things that say varicose veins versus spider veins. Not just that. Left leg. You're going to bubble that area so that you know you're in the right area and then you're going to highlight those key phrases that make you not have to keep looking back and forth. "OK it's highlighted for me." Notes off to the side. This is really good when you get into Mohs surgery and in cardiac issues because all that verbiage is just so similar in CPT. One word makes all the difference. Again this is a technique that Laureen Jandroep's been teaching since the 1990s. It saves you time when you test. It makes you code to the higher specificity and it makes the guidelines POP. So not just the BHAT™ technique but when you get a CCO Blitz then we give you testing techniques... like... doing one column in an hour etc... But the BHAT™ technique itself is preparing. The best way to say it is "preparing your CPT manuals for testing". And once you get that done you will find that in your everyday life of using it- it is going to make you faster and more accurate as a medical coder. Do you need more medical certification training?
