Cutting edge medical coding is migrating to direct use on the internet to assign correct ICD-9-CM and CPT codes to medical encounters by physicians.  This course is designed to help coders and billers who want to upgrade their coding skills beyond the use of printed manuals.  Participants will be provided with access to content from over 20 resource books including ICD-9-CM, CPT® and HCPCS via the internet. The course instructor, Bill Hess, has partnered with a publisher to allow students free use of their data base for a period of 2 weeks while enrolled in this course.

Students will learn how to choose from a variety of fully "customizable" features that can be altered to suit a coding specialty. There are the traditional features such as a code search and users can use several search methods such as index terms, codes, keywords or expressions to find the required code.

Students will learn how to search historical data, modifiers, revenue codes and even deleted codes. There are also coding crosswalks that take users from CPT® to ICD-9-CM to HCPCS and Anesthesia codes.  A unique feature is a field under each code that users can put their own personal notes to remind themselves particular facts about each code if need be.

Students will have access to newsletters/articles option where users can select particular items of interest from a variety of sources and have them sent to their inbox to read and/or store at their leisure.

Students will also learn how to create a book or PDF file containing all pertinent information for codes/specialties that can be used on a regular basis.  Users will also be notified of code updates on a quarterly basis with access to the past two years of historical data as well--great for billers and working those denials.
