Course Description:

On October 1, 2014, the coding system will transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10-CM/PCS.  The structure of the new code sets is radically different from the current codes in use today.  ICD-10 implementation will impact virtually all processes, technology and people within a health care enterprise.  Be ready for the transition to the ICD-10-CM with this ICD 10 Transition course.  This course will provide an introduction to ICD-10-CM coding and help you translate your knowledge of ICD-9-CM coding to the new code set. Through the use of expert developed learning modules, in-course activities, and case studies, you will learn everything you need to know to make the transition to ICD 10.  Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion, which will enable you to prove your ICD-10-CM proficiency to employers.  You will also be eligible to receive 4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from the American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC).
