Register for the exam preparation or professional training needed to take the next step as a professional medical coder. Interactive, hands-on courses provide advanced medical coding training in CEMC, COC review, CRC, risk adjustment and additional medical coding review courses
Risk Adjustment Coding
Learn Risk Adjustment, Data Submission Overview and HCC which includes chronic conditions, risk scores, trump logic, RAPS and the comparison of Medicare and Commercial Programs. Through the curriculum, you'll be able to define models of risk adjustment, applying official coding guidelines while identifying documentation deficiencies for diagnosis coding and the most common conditions in risk adjustment. The Risk Adjustment Coding program introduces participants to the curriculum needed to take the AAPC 40-hour Certified Risk Adjustment Coder (CRC) exam review.
Medical Coding Review
Brush up on key coding practices and theory through this review program. The program is fully hands-on, giving students the ability to strengthen their knowledge in ICD-10, CPT and HCPCS coding. Areas of focus also include Medicare law, guidelines for physical documentation requirements and a better understanding of coding principals related to the billing process. The program builds on previous professional knowledge while reinforcing key concepts used by medical coders and billers.
AAPC Professional Coder – Hospital COC exam review
Brush up on the techniques and subject matter tested by the national certification exam for outpatient hospital coding (COC). Program participants also gain a working knowledge of ICD-10 CM coding – both procedural and diagnostic coding – for hospitals. It is recommended that students have two years of experience in medical coding and the completion of core medical coding courses through Continuing Education at Bryant & Stratton College.
CEMC
The CEMC coding program is a highly interactive workshop that provides students with guidance in E&M skills. These skills prepare students for the AAPC Certified Evaluation & Management CEMC exam. In addition to covering ICD-10 coding, E&M Section review and Medicare regulations, you will work through hands-on practice coding exams and quizzes so you can apply your coding skills to real-world scenarios.
Medical Record Auditor Workshop
Study the various regulations and compliance requirements for medical records at both the federal and state level. Gain a foundation in the medical record audit process which will allow you to reduce errors and identify areas of opportunity for the practice or healthcare facility where you work. The program reviews coding concepts, statistical sampling methodologies, medical record auditing and much more.
Certified Coding Specialists (CCS) Prep Course - *STARTING JULY 2019
The CCS course emphasizes inpatient and outpatient coding skills, establishing a mastery of coding practices that will not only lend itself to the exam but to future job requirements as well. Unlike other programs, the CCS prep course at Bryant & Stratton College is instructor-led. The eight-week program will be directed by an instructor who will offer hands-on feedback for students as they work through the program. It's recommended that students have two years of coding experience prior to taking the prep course.
