This online course is designed especially for OMSs and OMS staff who have never attended a coding workshop and have had little or no formal training in procedural and diagnostic coding. It also is designed for the more seasoned professional looking for a comprehensive refresher of the basics.
The course will teach the core elements of coding and provide an effective understanding of the CDT, CPT and ICD-10-CM coding manuals and systems. Participants will have the opportunity to test and reinforce their knowledge through basic case studies and exercises. The course proceeds at a slow, comfortable pace – dedicating sufficient time to each topic.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the purpose of coding and its relationship to reimbursement.
- Describe ICD-10-CM, CPT, and CDT coding conventions and basic principles.
- Discuss basic claim submission processes including coordination of benefits, predetermination, preauthorization, electronic claims submission and more.
Completion of this course requires current ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS Level II, and CDT coding books.
This course consists of 10 units. To complete each unit, you will need your printed course manual and coding books (ICD-10-CM, CPT, HCPCS Level II, and CDT).
The videos will provide verbal explanation of the course manual, the opportunity to complete practice problems, and non-graded quizzes to evaluate your knowledge retention.
