MC233 Medical Coding Capstone
Intensive coding application will be achieved through the use of real medical records, case studies, scenarios, and simulations. Applications will include the use of an encoder. MSDRGs, APCs, RUGs, RBRVs, and the Correct Coding Initiative will also be covered in this class. This coding class requires hands-on coding skills, knowledge of basic use of applicable codebooks. Students will gain practice experience applying advanced ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM and CPT coding skills. The training provided in this course integrates coding and classification systems, health care functions, medical disease and treatment, and health care reimbursement at an advanced level to prepare the student for employment in the health information management industry as a medical coder.
