Course Description

Due to the continuous changes in the coding and billing industry, training in advanced coding has not only become a demand but a necessity. To conquer the coding and billing “game,” certain skills must be acquired and maintained. This course has been designed to increase those skills of the front desk personnel—those coding even the most extensive procedures. Complete details in CPT-4, ICD-9-CM, and HCPCS coding will be covered along with information on the Correct Coding Initiative (CCI), compliance and reimbursement issues, E&M guidelines and much more. Code-by-code details and tips are provided to ensure that the most indepth knowledge is acquired. As a result, there will be increased accuracy in code selections causing a smoother billing process with quicker and better reimbursement.

You will have the opportunity to have chat sessions with the other class members and have access to the instructor by e-mail and/or chat throughout the course. Not only does this course give you "move at your own pace" flexibility, it offers complete and accurate instruction, which will help improve knowledge, skills, compliance and reimbursement.
