This is a lecture and lab based on-line course that includes study of the purpose and use of the ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS (ICD-10-CM/PCS) classification systems. An introduction to inpatient and outpatient reimbursement systems is also covered. Coding topics include coding conventions and principles, and official inpatient and outpatient coding guidelines. Students will assign ICD-9-CM codes to diagnoses and procedures, ICD-10-CM codes to diagnoses, and ICD-10-PCS codes to inpatient procedures. Students will also assign ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM/PCS codes using case studies, case abstracts, and actual patient records using coding manuals and encoder software. Alternate care coding systems (e.g., DSM, SNOMED) are also covered. ICD-9-CM will also be taught as a legacy classification system.
