Students taking this course will: 1. review medical terminology in relation to Neoplasms, 2.demonstrate knowledge of ICD-9-CM coding techniques 3. understand the alphabetic and tabular structures of Volumes 1 and 2 of the ICD-9 book, with emphasis on the Neoplasm Table, 4. be able to look up codes and learn the process of using coding books when coding the neoplasm, 5. identify both primary and principal diagnoses and 6. be able to correctly sequence codes and have thorough understanding and knowledge when coding a neoplasm.
The demand for medical coders is on the rise, as is the pay. Identification of and payment for medical supplies and services depends upon the use of specific coding systems that help identify patient diagnoses, services, and procedures. Assignment of the correct code leads to fewer denials on physician reimbursement by the insurance carrier. * Document your course completion with an online certificate (additional shipping/handling charges apply for hard copy delivery).
