Medical coding is a critical aspect of the healthcare system, as it ensures that medical claims are accurately and efficiently processed. Certification demonstrates a level of knowledge and proficiency in medical coding, which is important for both the coder and the healthcare organization.

 

For the medical coder, certification may lead to increased job opportunities, higher pay, and advancement within the field. It also serves as a demonstration of their commitment to their profession and ongoing education. Many employers prefer to hire certified coders, as it indicates that the individual has a certain level of expertise and can perform their job accurately and efficiently.

 

For healthcare organizations, the use of certified medical coders helps to ensure that the claims they submit to insurance companies and government programs are accurate and compliant with regulations. This can help to reduce the risk of denied claims and financial penalties. In addition, certified coders are more likely to stay current with the latest coding standards and regulations, which can help to improve the overall efficiency of the billing and reimbursement process.

CPC Medical Coding Training

​

Training for medical coding and the CPC certification, CMCP certification and/or the CCS-P certification can be challenging when going it alone.  Our training takes a "Step-by-Step" approach using the Elsevier Step-By-Step Medical Coding Curriculum.  Providing detailed, easy to understand and apply methods for coding.  Introducing coding guidelines, proper sequencing, and modifiers will not only produce a strong medical coder for the certification examination, but also a medical coder for the real word. â€‹â€‹

Medical Coding Training requires the use of the three coding manuals.  The Current Procedural Terminology also known as the CPT, the International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification, 10th Revision also known as the ICD-10-CM and the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System, the HCPCS.  For inpatient and/or facility coding the ICD-10-PCS would also be used.

Technology and advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has greatly improved medical coding productivity and the medical billing process. Medical Coders and their job duties will continue to evolve as the industry advances.
