Course Description

Our Medical Coding and Billing IDC-9 course offers a comprehensive exploration of the ICD-9 system. This online module is designed to set the foundations of your healthcare data pathway and equip you with the skills necessary to excel in the healthcare industry. As healthcare becomes increasingly intricate with ever-evolving procedures and treatments, the demand for skilled medical coders is escalating. The ICD-9-CM, an adaptation created by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), is currently the most widely used statistical classification system for diseases globally. With our course, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of this system and its usage in inpatient, outpatient, and physician office utilization in the United States.

The ICD-9 system has been relied upon for over a century to track global diseases and deaths accurately. This course will guide you through the history and development of this essential tool, from its creation by the International Statistical Institute in 1893 to its consistent annual updates to meet the needs of providers, payers, and other key stakeholders. You’ll learn about the transition from the ICD-9 to the ICD-10 coding system in 2015, which introduced significantly more codes than its predecessor, highlighting the need for skilled medical coders to navigate this complex landscape.

This course is suitable for anyone interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, particularly in medical coding and billing. Whether you’re a new entrant into the field or a seasoned professional looking to update your skills, this course will provide you with the knowledge and understanding required to excel. Upon completion of the course, you’ll be equipped with the foundational knowledge necessary to work as a medical coder, enabling you to process patient data, identify diagnoses, medical tests, treatments, and procedures, and transcribe this information into standardized codes. This expertise is vital in ensuring that healthcare providers are accurately and efficiently paid for the services they perform.
