Behind the Blueprint
Tasha T. Jones, CCS
AHIMA Approved ICD-10-CM/PCS Trainer
Former Region A RAC Auditor
"Empowering Your Future in Medical Coding, One Code at a Time."
Tasha Jones — known to her students and her community as Coach Tash — is the founder of TASHA JONES, LLC, the creator of The Blueprint to Inpatient Medical Coding Success, and the author of The Blueprint, a memoir of her journey from a welfare line to a multimillion-dollar inpatient medical coding education brand. She is a nationally recognized Inpatient Medical Coding Expert, Consultant, Educator, and Mentor with over 25 years of experience in the healthcare revenue cycle industry.
“At 25, I was a single mother of three on food stamps with a GED and no medical background. Inpatient medical coding didn’t just give me a career — it gave me the world.”
Coach Tash has coded and audited in Level 1 and Level 2 trauma centers, consulted in 33 out of 50 states, traveled to Manila, Philippines to train international coding teams, and served as a Region A RAC auditor. She has worked across inpatient coding, auditing, compliance, Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI), and education throughout her career.
She holds the Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) credential, has been an AHIMA-approved ICD-10-CM/PCS trainer for a decade, and has held the Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS) credential. Her career spans acute care hospital systems of every size — from community hospitals to major health systems — giving her a depth of real-world expertise that no textbook can replicate.
Today, through 'Blueprint to Inpatient Medical Coding Success', Tasha Jones Academy and TashTalksCoding.com, Coach Tash mentors aspiring and current coders how to break into or level up in inpatient medical coding — with or without a medical background. She has built one of the highest first-time CCS pass rates in the field and is on a mission to prove that your past does not determine your potential. She is a wife, mother of five, and a woman of faith based in Atlanta, Georgia.

How I Coded My Way Out of the Welfare Line
and Built a Multimillion-Dollar Career Teaching Others to Do the Same
A 25-year-old single mother of three.
A welfare check. A G.E.D. A prayer.
That is where this story begins. It ends with a coding and auditing career across thirty three states, a decade as an AHIMA-Approved Trainer, and a community of credentialed inpatient medical coders who walked the same path.
Part memoir. Part foundation manual. For the single parent whose paycheck does not reach the end of the month. For the person who has been told they are too old to start over. For anyone who needs to see that the door opens.

1:1 COACHING WITH COACH TASH
One hour. Your questions. Real answers.
Sometimes you don’t need another course — you need someone who’s actually done the work to sit with you, look at what you’re stuck on, and tell you exactly what to do next.
That’s what this session is for.
Whether you’re preparing for your CCS or CCA exam, struggling with a specific type of chart, trying to break into inpatient coding, or navigating a career decision — bring it. We’ll spend the full hour on you.

• The questions you haven’t been able to get answered anywhere else
• Career strategy — whether that’s landing your first inpatient role, moving into CDI, or positioning yourself for remote work
• Real charts, real scenarios, real guidance from 25+ years in the field
Who this is for:
Coders who are serious about their next step and want direct access to someone who’s coded in Level 1 trauma centers, served as a Region A RAC auditor through CMS, and trained teams across 33 states and internationally.

31-ROOT OPERATIONS FLASHCARDS
Lock in the PCS objective every time.
The 31 root operations are the backbone of ICD-10-PCS — and the place most coders get stuck. Confuse Excision with Resection, or Repair with Restriction, and your entire PCS code falls apart.
These flashcards drill the root operations into long-term memory so you stop second-guessing and start coding faster.
Use them for:
• CCS and CCA exam prep
• Quick daily review between patient charts
• Building PCS confidence from the ground up
Designed by a 25-year inpatient coder who knows exactly which distinctions trip students up the most.
$30
High-Yield CCS/CCA Exam Flashcards
The concepts most likely to show up on exam day.
Not every inpatient coding concept is equally weighted on the CCS or CCA exam — but most study programs treat them like they are. That’s why students spend months studying and still fail.
These high-yield flashcards focus on the exact concepts you’re most likely to see tested, drawn from 25 years of exam prep experience and hundreds of students guided to certification.
Use them for:
• Final review in the weeks before your exam
• Targeted study when time is short
• Reinforcing the concepts that matter most on test day
Less memorizing. More passing.
