Corporate Training By Zack Academy - MC 201-2 Medical Coding I and II

Why Should You take This MC 201-2 Medical Coding I and II course?

Medical Coding Specialists are in high demand and play an important role in the medical industry. As a Medical Coding Specialist, you will read and review medical documentation provided by physicians and other health care providers in order to obtain detailed information regarding a patients' disease, injuries, surgical operations, and other procedures.

This detailed information is translated into numeric codes. The Medical Coding Specialist assigns and sequences diagnostic and procedural codes using a universally recognized coding system. Using this official classification system, coders must insure correct code selection for compliance with federal regulation and insurance requirements. 

These back-to-back MC 201-2 Medical Coding I and II courses focus on resources used by Medical Coders on the job, including the Department of Health's ICD-9 and the American Medical Association's CPT code sets. Our coding experts take you through all steps necessary to code a claim correctly and link the correct codes for reimbursement for insurance carriers and government agencies. Students learn in-depth, step-by-step explanations of essential coding concepts followed by real-world practice exercises to reinforce their understanding.
