Experience a dynamic workshop combining two online courses (self-paced) and three days of face-to-face training. The online courses provide basic training in ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS and are to be completed upon successfully passing of two assessments prior to the workshop. The three day workshop focuses on engaging the trainer with in-class intermediate and advanced ICD-10 coding exercises, and provides opportunities to ask questions and get clarifications. Successful completion of assessments from both the online courses and the face-to-face training are required to receive a Trainer Certificate.
