Introduction to Coding concepts for the non-coder:

This course provides basic knowledge of medical coding to non-coders and is


intended to train office billing/provider support staff in the ways to assist and
support their practice. This course is not designed to prepare you for certification,
but rather provide a broad education in the areas most essential to outpatient
medical coding. In this first course, you will learn: medical terminology, ICD-9 and
CPT codes, Modifiers and their application, E/M documentation guidelines, Claims
Denial Prevention and Resolution, and External Audits: What to Look for. By the end
of this course you will be able to identify and evaluate codes and provide basic
guidance regarding common errors and billing standards that might be costing your
practice money.

between them, and how their correct application can assist your practice in billing

appropriately. At the conclusion of this course you will have a chance to sample
