Medical Coding 101
Medical coding is the language that providers must use when submitting health care claims to obtain reimbursement. Accurate coding results in a “clean claim,” which in turn results in timely and accurate payment to the provider. Alternatively, complex legal disputes may arise between payers and providers when allegations of fraud are made.
Designed for early career attorneys, compliance professionals, payment professionals, and advisors new to health care, this course explains the basics and implications of medical coding.
Learners will master key fundamentals by engaging with clear and concise explanations, coupled with videos in which experienced practitioners elaborate on more challenging concepts.
