Is health care a growing and critical part of your business? Are you a non-coding professional who requires an understanding of coding concepts? This three hour course has been designed with the non-coder in mind and provides a broad overview of medical coding principles.
Health care, like other industries, has its own language; and not just from a clinical perspective, either. Numerical (coding) systems have been developed to facilitate communication between health care providers (physicians, hospitals, etc.) and payers (insurance companies). Medical coders work to translate the medical record into numerical information that is universally understood throughout the health care system. Correct coding is absolutely essential for documenting services rendered and receiving appropriate reimbursement for those services. Some of the covered topics in this informative program include the following:
• Industry Overview
• Introduction to Health Insurance
• Types of Insurance Carriers (Payers)
• The Medical Record (Forms, Documentation Guidelines, and Privacy Rules)
• CPT, ICD-9-CM, and HCPCS Level II Coding Concepts
