Developed to provide an advanced look into the world of medical coding and auditing, our Medical Inpatient Auditing course explores essential applications and real patient cases that explain coding services. Hands-on physician documentation is provided to help develop essential auditing knowledge and skills. Our course is divided into chapters that cover ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS. We explore codes for evaluation and management services, medicine, radiology, pathology and laboratory, surgeries, and anesthesia.
Prerequisite: Solid knowledge of Medical Terminology and Medical Coding. If you do not know Medical Terminology or Medical Coding you can take one or both of our additional courses.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Identify types of service and diagnosis codes, how to use modifiers, and how to use the audit form
- Recognize the key components of E/M and medicine coding
- Recall terminology for positions and placements and types of services for radiology, pathology, and laboratory
- Describe coding aspects for surgical procedures and body systems
- Identify base units and modifiers related to coding for anesthesia
