The AHIMA Academy for ICD-10-CM/PCS begins with two, self-paced online courses(completion required prior to in-person training), and continues with a three-day, in-person workshop. The two online courses provide basic training in ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS code sets, and are conducted on AHIMA’s remote Web-based Distance Education Campus. At the in-person workshop, trainers will focus on in-class coding exercises while modeling training techniques. The first day of the in-person training focuses on ICD-10-CM and days two and three focus on ICD-10-PCS coding. After successful completion of both the online and in-person training portions, attendees may complete an assessment in order to earn an AHIMA ICD-10-CM/PCS Trainer Certificate.

PLEASE NOTE: As coding sets and guidelines evolve over time,trainers will be required to renew their certificates in order to maintain AHIMA approval as an ICD-10-CM/PCS trainer. Therefore, trainer certificates are granted in a time-limited manner with an option to renew for a$199.00 fee. Certificates earned from October 2012 to September 2013 are valid until June 30, 2014.
