Course Description:

'' This Advanced Hospital Coding Course prepares students to take the American Health Information Management Association’s (AHIMA) official certification exam to become a Certified Coding Specialist (CCS). This program covers advanced ICD-9 coding procedures and is designed to help students meet the challenge of today’s changing standards while learning and improving their coding skills.

Facility coding (hospital coding) is one of the best-paying sectors of the coding profession. This course is designed for coders who wish to further develop their facility coding skills.

If you are already performing some aspect of facility coding, this course will fill in the gaps so that your skills are properly rounded. This "rounding" of skills makes a more marketable employee and is essential to successful completion of the American Health Information Management Association’s mastery level credentialing exam, the Certified Coding Specialist (CCS).

If you are currently working in a physician office or billing service, this course will give you the edge you need to advance in the workplace. Most hospitals will only hire coders with previous exposure to facility coding or who are already certified. Training on the job is a luxury most hospitals are unable to offer. Coders of all levels must undergo continuing education to stay current with the constantly changing regulations.

This course will utilize your existing knowledge of medical terminology and healthcare sciences. Your coding skills will be heightened and focused preparing you for employment testing, job performance, and successful completion of the CCS exam.
