GettingJob Help with inpatient coding

Hi all! I just need to ask for help one more time! I had a fantastic interview this week and there's a possibility I could get a callback for 2nd interview. The coding director informed me that, at that time, we will be asked to code 2 scenarios as part of the interview. This wouldn't be bad except I've never done any inpatient coding and I wouldn't want to make any huge booboos. I know that in the inpatient world you can use Rule Out Dx or Working Dx and I know that the Primary Dx is very important. I also know that's when DRGs come into play but that's all I know. I don't know how to abstract for that. I just want enough info to not fall completely on my face. If anyone in CCO land has the heart to help me I would be eternally grateful. Otherwise, as a last desperate measure, is that something I could get a One on One with THE Laureen for? Thanks for any and all info! Jess CPC-A (that never gets old :p )
