ICD-10 is an upgraded diagnostic and procedural medical coding system that, by law, must be implemented throughout the health care industry. This coding system is radically different from the version currently in use, so it's important to start preparing for and implementing the massive changes to the existing coding system. This online course offers you comprehensive, robust training in diagnostic and procedural coding, using the ICD-10-CM (diagnostic) and ICD-10-PCS (procedural) coding manuals. This training includes detailed instructions for using the coding manuals, understanding the coding guidelines and accurately applying the ICD-10 coding steps. There are more than 40 quizzes and exams for diagnoses and procedures by body system to test your knowledge and understanding. In addition, the impact of the coding changes on medical coders, health care staff, physicians, software systems, documentation and information technology is covered.
