Coding patient with long term history of Chewing Betel Nut

Has anyone ever tried coding for a patient who is advised to stop chewing Betel Nut (Betel Quid)?

I did some research and, basic find is that,

-it is popular in Asia / Pacific Region
-causes Oral Cancer
-on one site http://www.livestrong.com/article/12…l-nut-chewing/ it states it’s a "psychoactive product"

Can I use F19.20 Other psychoactive substance dependence, uncomplicated?

What’s throwing me off is that it is a nut from a tree (cultivated) and not manufactured / synthetic (like heroin).

Your time and suggestions are much appreciated.

How long after an interview?

Hello Coders,

I am a new CPC-A having attained my certification in May 2017. I have sent out a lot of applications and resumes. I finally got an interview this past Monday. The interviewer told me she would definitely be in touch with me. I felt like the interview was one of my best.

Here it is 4+ days later and I have heard nothing. I wrote a "Thank You" note to her on the same day for interviewing me. Everyone I met was very friendly and seemed sincere.

Is it too soon to hear anything? They are supposed to be hiring 4 people for 4 positions. Also, another supervisor was supposed to attend my interview but wasn’t present. I was also told that this employer has hired 4 students from the program I graduated from in May.

It’s been a while since I have actively looked for employment since I have been in school for a few years. I also realize that in some companies there is a lot of red tape and processes that take lots of time.

I would love to hear from any of you out there who have experienced this. I am feeling like I am not making any progress at all. I suppose I am being a bit impatient.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:p

Adios, So long, Adieu, Good Bye

I’ve posted in the OFF TOPIC thread, but thought I’d also mention in the areas I was most active …

I am retiring this month. My last day of work will be June 9.

It’s been great getting to know many of you through the Forum, and meeting some of you at conferences.

Happy coding!
