The Medical Coding Certificate course is now a prerequisite for the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) course.

It will consist of two parts.

• 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 inpatient and outpatient facilities, as well as ancillary departments such as imaging centers and pathology/laboratories. CPT, HCPCS Level II, and ICD-10-PCS code sets will be covered with hands-on practice.
