That is AWESOME!!!! Big congratulations. No denying you sound excited and relieved. So good to hear that someone FINALLY says it was easy(er) than expected, but you are right, many underestimate the complexity of phlebotomy and the phlebotomist exam. There is a LOT more than what meets the eye going on in phlebotomy. There is no such thing as "what is a little blood draw?". So, back to the exam... you are confirming what we have been posting all along, quite a bit on EKC/ECG and HIPAA law. In the past we also were told that there is an insane amount of medical coding (billing) included, where you have to pick the right matching CPT codes (we have frowned upon this quite a bit as we, as medical assistants, know that a.) not even medical coders code strictly from memory, and b.) medical coding is actually a very minuscule part of the medical assistant's responsibility. Apparently the certification sponsors don't know that). In reading your previous post, it seems safe to say your "studying your butt off" paid off. Ugh! All done. Which certification did you take? Oh, I see, the CMA!!! Kudos
