Armed with an improved foundation in documentation, medical terminology and anatomy and physiology, participants will be able to put their new knowledge into action in this class. Find out how many diagnostic codes can be used and what to look for when Superbills go away. Compare and contrast the terminology in ICD-9 with the codes for ICD-10. Hands-on work will reinforce knowledge base.
