Coding Assessment and Training Solutions®(CATS)

Training for experienced coders — at intermediate and advanced levels

AHIMA's self-paced, web-based Coding Assessment and Training Solutions®  (CATS) program provides a wide range of quality, flexible training opportunities for experienced coders.

There are three primary academic categories in the Coding Assessment and Training Solutions® program:

  • ICD-10 A&P Focus Assessments and Courses
  • Coding Overview Assessments and Courses
  • Coding Focus Assessments and Courses
  • Coding Proficiency Assessments

Details

Prerequisites:

It is recommended that students have coding experience before taking CATS training. Coding Assessment and Training Solutions® is designed as continuing education for coders at the intermediate and advanced levels. If you don't have coding experience, we recommend that you start with basic training like AHIMA's Coding Basics Program.

Required Books:

Student must have access to current ICD and/or HCPCS/CPT codes (any format, electronic or printed). All other learning materials, exercises and exams are provided online.

Courses Begin:

If you pay by credit card for courses or assessments available individually, you have immediate access. If you choose the option "check or purchase order", you must allow seven to ten business days after you mail a copy of your online invoice with your check for the payment to be received and processed.

Packages of courses and assessments require set-up time. As soon as payment has been received and processed, please allow seven to ten business days after sending payment to receive notification that your package of courses is available.

Credits by Academic Category

An AHIMA Certificate of Completion and CEUs are awarded for each successfully completed course. (Successful completion is scoring 70% or better on the final assessment for a course. Finals may be taken multiple times.)

Packages for Multiple-User Facilities

All of our targeted training courses and assessments can be packaged in various ways to meet your needs. An AHIMA representative looks at the specific goals you have and helps you create a custom combination of Coding Assessment and Training Solutions® offerings.

  • Anyone purchasing a package of courses and/or assessments for multiple users may opt to add instructor privileges. For an additional set-up fee, we provide you with an instructor login as well as training on how to manage user learning on the AHIMA campus. With instructor privileges, someone in a supervisory position can access assignments, create and participate in discussions, and print student progress reports.
  • Create a custom package by choosing multiple offerings from AHIMA's new catalog of Coding Focus Courses. 
  • Add Coding Overview courses and assessments (Clinical Concepts, ICD-9-CM, HCPCS/CPT and Reimbursement) to the package to evaluate and refresh your staff's general coding knowledge.
  • Multiple Coding Focus Assessments can be added to match the courses you've chosen (or select assessments independently).
  • Want to evaluate your candidates' or current coding professionals' knowledge thoroughly (Inpatient, Outpatient, ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, Physician Practice)? Then add one or more  Coding Proficiency Assessments into the mix.

Any facility that is interested in purchasing multiple licenses for courses and/or assessments should contact James Bannen via e-mail at James.Bannen@ahima.org. Questions about online registration for individual users should submit a customer support request.
