Course Description
This is an online course that will meet monthly in a virtual classroom with assignments due weekly online.
It will consist of two parts. Both parts prepare students to assign procedural and diagnostic codes for procedures, services, and diagnosis performed by physicians in an inpatient and outpatient setting. The course also prepares students for the CPC certification course.
- Part I is an introduction to the ICD-10-CM data set used for reporting diagnoses and other reasons why health care professionals care for patients. Part I will also include instruction (theory and hands-on) on how to classify and index diagnoses in the health care setting. The various uses for diagnosis codes will be discussed as well.
- Part II is an introduction to procedure coding with the intention of helping students correctly report all types of health care services, treatments, and procedures provided to patients in outpatient facilities, as well as ancillary departments such as imaging centers and pathology/laboratories. CPT, HCPCS Level II, and ICD-10-CM code sets will be covered with hands-on practice.
