Description
This course emphasizes ICD-10-PCS which is an entirely different classification system based on the essential components of a procedure. Under the new system, codes are built from a number of variables, including body system, root operation, body part, approach, and more. And in some cases, mulitiple codes may be needed to describe each of the specific components of a procedure or service. Upon completion, students should be able to properly code procedures and services performed in a medical facility.
