CodingWebU Partners with a New Author
CodingWebU has partnered with a new author to develop courses covering Infectious Disease and Orthopaedic Coding.
Learn the mystery of Infectious Diseases
Learn the coding intricacies of infectious diseases. Learn how and when to apply specific 900 codes in cases of infections. Do the terms MRSA, HIV, Hepatitis C and End-Stage AIDS cause confusion? Learn the particulars associated with these codes. This course will help one to know when certain codes are primary codes and others are required to be secondary codes. What is necessary to correctly address acute and chronic infectious conditions? Learn how vaccine coding may have different requirements for immuno-compromised patients. This course will assist the student in de-mystifying the often complex conditions in this category.
Orthopedics is more than broken bones
Does orthopedic coding leave you confused trying to determine the differences between arthodesis and arthocentesis, between compression and compartments, autogenous grafts and allografts? Here you will learn to differentiate and master the vocabulary of orthopedics - including some of those procedures that carry the name of some long-ago surgeon - and have the tools to code these often confusing procedures.
Specialty Medical coding is special
Here you will find the answers to code some interrelated conditions - hypertension and renal diseases. Why are they assumed to be related; what should the hypertension table mean to me? What is the difference between acute renal failure and chronic renal failure and why does it matter? What is the GFR and how does it relate to coding chronic renal failure? How is dialysis coded? What changes if an anemia is related to renal failure? Learn the guidelines for coding the specificities of these conditions.
About the Author
Our new author was originally a nurse, then moved into management consulting and coding. Her experience in practice management spans more than 30 years. She has earned an RN, BA, plus a College Certificate in Healthcare Management and has been certified as a CMM, CPC, and a CCS-P.
She teaches medical billing and coding at a local college, and primarily works in medical records and HEDIS audits and coding compliance areas for physicians and facilities. Nationally published, she continues to author relevant articles and courses as well as a newsletter for her clients.
