Medical Coding II-Op Services

This course will focus on advanced medical coding and billing for Outpatient Services. Medical coding and billing professionals translate medical records into standardized codes used to bill patients and third-party payers such as insurance companies and Medicare. The comprehensive Medical Coding and Billing for Outpatient Services program will teach students to 1) Accurately assign and sequence ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes for inpatient, outpatient, and physician services according to the official coding guidelines. 2) Differentiate reimbursement systems for various programs, including private insurance and contracts, managed care, Medicare, Medicaid, Workers' Compensation, and other disabilities. 3) Understand the difference between CPT, ICD, and HCPCS coding systems and identify their appropriate use in health records. 4) Describe the key elements of the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its impact on healthcare professionals, 5) Explain the differences between the Inpatient and Outpatient Prospective Payment Systems. Upon completion, the student will have the knowledge to sit for industry-recognized certifications.

Current year code books are required for the certification exam, so students may have to purchase a second set of code books depending on when they complete the courses and sit for the exam.  

Students will need a high school diploma or equivalent to become a credentialed medical coder.  Students should have a basic understanding of Microsoft ®Office (Word and Excel) and be proficient in keyboarding and English grammar and punctuation. Code books (ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS) are updated once each year.  Students must pass each course with an 80% or better to move forward in this program. 

Successful completion of Medical Billing and Coding I and Medical Billing and Coding II is required.

Medical Coding Outpatient I and Medical Coding Outpatient II are required for the CPC and CCS-P certifications in the second semester of this program. Both courses are taken simultaneously.
