My girlfriend is currently enrolled in classes and working on getting certifications for medical coding! She's doing super good and it's been an interesting journey. One issue is that she can't really afford the CPT book since they're wildly expensive, even used, and they change every year.

So, I basically built her a little tool that basically combines a few of the online databases into one place (Except a chunk of CPT since they're copyrighted by the AMA) but it includes HCPCS, ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, some CPT, and kinda combines them all into one place for easy lookup, it's especially nice since it lists NCCI conflicts and LCD coverage.

Every piece of information on there is directly taken from official sources such as cmv.gov, and all sources are listed. She wanted me to share it as it might possibly help others in the same boat have a good complimentary tool to their work process.

There is no sign-up or any sort of paywall, all entirely free and easy to access. Hope somebody can get some good use out of it:)

Of course, having the usual trouble of nobody responding. Better yet, I love getting responses nearly two years after the original application date (shoutout Lockheed Martin, hope someone at least had a laugh when I applied to like half the positions out of spite with bare qualifications)

So, how much does it help to specifically tailor resumes? Right now I use one that I feel may not be entirely specific, as at this point I apply for just about everything.

Is there a noticeable uptick in responses when the resume is actually tailored? What are the generally guidelines for tailoring a resume anyhow? Related summary and skill list I suppose?

Work history has been everywhere on a large set of random work that has no relations to any others, so I feel as if it would be odd to leave them out.
