ICD-10 Coder Academy by RT Welter

The Discounted Registration Deadline for the ICD-10 Coder Academy is quickly approaching! Sign any time between now and December 15th to save!

This interactive and hands-on ICD-10 training is designed to prepare coders for the AAPC and AHIMA ICD-10 proficiency examinations. Participants will gain the tools they need to appropriately select ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS codes. These training sessions will be coder centric, and the content will be designed for those staff who will be responsible for applying (or verifying) these codes to documentation. Throughout the academy, participants will be given an assortment of scenarios to code to obtain the proficiency they need for coding in ICD-10.

Participants only needing ICD-10-CM training (physician and outpatient coding) should register for the first day of the academy only (Day 1).

Participants needing ICD-10-PCS training (hospital/inpatient coding) will need to register for the entire 3-day academy.
