Description

This unit provides a foundational understanding of medical coding systems and their role in healthcare reimbursement. Learners will explore the structure, format, and application of the three major coding systems—ICD-10-CM (diagnoses), CPT (procedures), and HCPCS Level II (supplies and services). Through practical exercises, learners will interpret clinical documentation, assign codes, and link them to reimbursement processes. The course emphasizes coding accuracy, compliance, and the prevention of errors that lead to denials or audit risks. By mastering these coding fundamentals, students will gain the analytical and technical competencies needed to ensure accurate charge capture and claims submission.

Describe the structure of ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes. Apply coding guidelines to common outpatient services. Evaluate documentation to assign accurate codes. Explain the link between codes and reimbursement. Analyze coding errors and compliance risks. Create a coding crosswalk for services rendered.

The learner will: Describe the key characteristics and organization of ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS coding systems and explain their relationship to healthcare billing. Apply standard coding guidelines to accurately assign codes for typical outpatient and professional services. Evaluate clinical documentation to determine the most accurate diagnosis and procedure codes. Explain how accurate coding influences reimbursement and compliance with payer and federal requirements. Analyze coding discrepancies to identify compliance risks and recommend corrective actions. Develop a coding crosswalk that maps clinical services to appropriate codes, supporting consistency and billing transparency.

Before beginning this unit, learners should have: A working knowledge of healthcare billing processes and terminology. Understanding of clinical documentation workflows and charge capture concepts. Completion of Unit 3.2: Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) or equivalent coding exposure.
