Medical
Coding
Take
your first step toward a lucrative career as a medical coder! In this
course, you'll learn how to use the CPT manual and the ICD-9-CM to find
medical codes for any disease, condition, treatment, or surgical
procedure. This knowledge will help prepare you to work almost anywhere
in the medical field—doctors' offices, clinics, public health
facilities, hospitals, labs, nursing homes, insurance agencies, or even
the comfort of your own home. We'll go through
each of the main systems of the human body—integumentary (skin),
musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal,
endocrine, and male and female genitourinary—outlining the medical
terminology, conditions, diseases, injuries, treatments, and procedures
you'll see most often in each of those systems. Along the way, we'll go
through lots of real-world examples and coding exercises to get you
using your coding tools in conjunction with your analytical skills to
come up with just the right codes to describe any medical situation. In
the process, you'll get all the hands-on experience you'll need to code
medical insurance claims with confidence. By the end of this course,
you'll know how to find your way through both the CPT manual and the
ICD-9-CM manual, and you'll be well on your way to a career as a medical
coder!
REQUIREMENTS:
Internet access, e-mail, and the Internet Explorer or Netscape or Firefox
Web browser. You'll need access to both of the main medical coding books
we'll use in this course: the 2007 CPT manual, Professional Edition and
the 2007 ICD-9-CM Physician Edition (spiral-bound editions recommended
for both books). No prior medical experience is required, but knowledge
of medical terminology and human anatomy will be helpful.
