Content
With ICD-10 scheduled for implementation in 2013, professional coders are preparing for major changes to the current and familiar ICD-9 coding system. ICD-10 is designed to gather more specific and comprehensive data than ICD-9, and a more extensive understanding of anatomy and physiology can enhance coding accuracy. This course is designed for professional medical coders to identify, and even master, various body systems and their respective functions to facilitate correct and specific coding of medical diagnoses and procedures. (Comparable to Anatomy and Physiology I and II )
