About the Course
Medical coders perform the vital task of converting cumbersome medical reports into efficient, data-friendly codes. While complex and detail-driven, medical coding really comes down to knowing how to navigate the three main code sets: CPT, ICD, and HCPCS. These code sets help coders document the condition of a patient and describe the medical procedure performed on that patient in response to their condition. We’ll train you to recognize how code set is organized and how each should be used.
- Basic Anatomy and Pathology is a prerequisite to learn Medical Coding Guidelines.
ICD - 10 Guidelines for Medical Coding with Scenarios - In this course you will be able to learn ICD - 10 CM, Chapter guidelines.
