Memorial Health System Enrolls 84 Coders in Libman Education's ICD-10-CM for Coding Professionals Course
Course is follow-up training to Libman Education's Anatomy & Physiology for Coders course.
- (1888PressRelease) May 27, 2015 - BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS - Memorial Health System, located in southeastern Ohio, is enrolling a large number of coders in Libman Education's ICD-10 readiness course ICD-10-CM for Coding Professionals, authored by nationally recognized ICD-10 expert Gail I. Smith, MA, RHIA, CCS-P.
The course is follow-up training to Libman Education's Anatomy and Physiology for Coders course, in which Marietta Memorial Hospital enrolled several coders in 2013. Currently 84 students are active - with extra spaces being held for future hires.
"We found the Anatomy and Physiology course to be very helpful in providing foundational knowledge for preparing our coders for ICD-10 training," said Cansas Riggenbach, CPC, Coding Supervisor at Marietta Memorial Hospital. "With the ICD-10 deadline around the corner, the ICD-10-CM course provides the right training at the right time. We look forward to transitioning to ICD-10 with the material fresh in our minds."
ICD-10-CM for Coding Professionals is for HIM professionals familiar with coding in ICD-9-CM and who need to learn ICD-10-CM coding prior to ICD-10 implementation. The course teaches students how to:
· Identify the characteristics of ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding.
· Compare and contrast ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM codes.
· Apply Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting of selected chapters that have changes.
· Apply clinical concepts to support coding decisions.
· Given a case scenario, apply Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting to support accurate code assignment.
