The ICD, currently the most widely used statistical classification system for diseases in the world, was adopted by the U.S. into the ICD-9-CM National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and used in assigning diagnostic and procedure codes associated with inpatient, outpatient, and physician office utilization in the United States. The ICD-9-CM is based on the ICD-9 but provides additional morbidity detail.

ICD-10-CM is a clinical modification of the World Health Organization’s ICD-10, which consists of a diagnostics classification system. ICD-10-CM includes the level of detail needed for morbidity classification and diagnostics specificity in the United States. It also provides code titles and language that complement accepted clinical practice in the US.

The system consists of more than 68,000 diagnosis codes. This course provides the training necessary for medical administrative professionals to comply with the updated standards. The transition to ICD-10 is necessary for many reasons. Payors cannot pay claims fairly using ICD-9-CM since the classification system does not accurately reflect current technology and medical treatment.

A single ICD-9-CM procedure code assigns significantly different procedures. Limitations in the coding system translate directly into limitations in the diagnosis-related groups (DRG). The healthcare industry cannot accurately measure the quality of care using ICD-9-CM. It is difficult to evaluate the outcome of new procedures and emerging healthcare conditions when there are no precise codes.

Most importantly, we have a mission to improve our ability to measure health care services provided to our patients, enhance clinical decision-making, track public health issues, conduct medical research, identify fraud and abuse, and design our payment systems to ensure services are appropriately paid.

The ICD is currently the most widely used statistical classification system for diseases in the world.

The ICD-9-CM is based on the ICD-9 but provides for additional morbidity detail.

With exposure to both ICD 10 and 11, students will have an advantage in the healthcare industry for open positions in this field. Both Anatomy and Medical Terminology are the foundation for medical billing and coding, this course lays down the building blocks to ensure all students can complete this course with confidence.

The Anatomy Module will take you through all body systems with a focus on common medical conditions and medical terminology with the expanded focus on root words, prefix and suffix meanings. ICD and CPT Modules include the history of coding, outpatient guidelines meaning of codes in order to properly code medical documentation.

As we go step by step through each chapter of the manual, reviewing operative reports and diagrams to properly link a condition to a code. Medical billing and reimbursement modules cover federal compliance rules and regulations as well as step by step on the flow from the initial patient visit to receiving a check from insurance or patient.

In addition to course modules, students will get multiple flashcards, diagrams, charts and “real world “exposure to multiple coding examples. As you go through this course at your own pace, you still will have the feel of a one on one classroom experience. Tools provided in the Medical Coding and Billing course will ensure you have the skills to enter one of the fastest-growing fields.

  • Demonstrate knowledge of function and structure of the human body
  • Understand common disorders that occur within various body systems
  • Understand and apply diagnostic coding for ICD 10 and ICD 11
  • Understand and apply procedure coding (CPT)
  • Understand the use of appropriate modifiers and impact

Medical Coding and Billing is intended for any student who wishes to enter the healthcare field or improve skills needed to receive accreditation.

Medical billing and coding certifications offer entry into several high-demand professions. Billing and coding often go hand in hand, and both deal with medical record-keeping, though there are several distinctions between the two specializations. These credentials represent the gold standard in medical coding, billing, auditing, documentation, compliance, and practice management, and are nationally recognized by employers, medical societies, and government organizations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Instructional methods, course requirements, and learning technologies can vary significantly from one online program to the next, but the vast bulk of them use a learning management system (LMS) to deliver lectures and materials, monitor student progress, assess comprehension, and accept student work. LMS providers design these platforms to accommodate a multitude of instructor needs and preferences.

Online education may seem relatively new, but years of research suggests it can be just as effective as traditional coursework, and often more so. According to a U.S. Department of Education analysis of more than 1,000 learning studies, online students tend to outperform classroom-based students across most disciplines and demographics. Another major review published the same year found that online students had the advantage 70 percent of the time, a gap authors projected would only widen as programs and technologies evolve.

All new learning innovations are met with some degree of scrutiny, but skepticism subsides as methods become more mainstream. Such is the case for online learning. Studies indicate employers who are familiar with online degrees tend to view them more favorably, and more employers are acquainted with them than ever before. The majority of colleges now offer online degrees, including most public, not-for-profit, and Ivy League universities. Online learning is also increasingly prevalent in the workplace as more companies invest in web-based employee training and development programs.

The concern that online students cheat more than traditional students is perhaps misplaced. When researchers at Marshall University conducted a study to measure the prevalence of cheating in online and classroom-based courses, they concluded, “Somewhat surprisingly, the results showed higher rates of academic dishonesty in live courses.” The authors suggest the social familiarity of students in a classroom setting may lessen their sense of moral obligation.

Choosing the right course takes time and careful research no matter how one intends to study. Learning styles, goals, and programs always vary, but students considering online courses must consider technical skills, ability to self-motivate, and other factors specific to the medium. Online course demos and trials can also be helpful.
Our platform is typically designed to be as user-friendly as possible: intuitive controls, clear instructions, and tutorials guide students through new tasks. However, students still need basic computer skills to access and navigate these programs. These skills include: using a keyboard and a mouse; running computer programs; using the Internet; sending and receiving email; using word processing programs; and using forums and other collaborative tools. Most online programs publish such requirements on their websites. If not, an admissions adviser can help.
