*Certification Exam Online: Thursday June 30, 2021

Target Audience: This class is designed for anyone who would like advanced knowledge in coding and validation of their proficiency. Participants should have an experience with coding. Participants will be required to have a current ICD-10-CM manual to access for the webinars. Agencies need certified coders for accuracy

This 4-part webinar series will allow the learner to participate from their own location and will cover a full day of learning.

HOSPICE – Correct coding of terminal illness and comorbidities are necessary for the claim, understanding case mix and to avoid ADR’s.

HOME HEALTH - Accurate coding under PDGM will require an increased skill set and knowledge of ICD-10 coding guidelines and conventions.

Why gamble with coding and your reimbursement? Make sure your agency has a “full house” of coding experts. CHAPCA training with JLU will provide the training needed for your billing and coding staff to receive Advanced Coding Education and become an “ACE-10” in coding.

Staff will achieve confidence when coding by attending this specially designed, comprehensive class which covers all aspects of home health & hospice coding.  This year’s live webinar series will allow the coder to participate from their agency, saving time.   This course may also be utilized as a preparation course for any of the home health coding certifications (ACE, HCS-D, BCHH-C).

Four major areas are covered:

1.  Code structure & Conventions

2.  Coding Guidelines

3. Primary & Other Diagnoses

4. Chapter Specific – Diagnostic Information (Including many Test Your Knowledge cases)

Coding Certification June 30, 2021 6:00 am – 8 am

What Does Certification Mean? Certification represents achievement of a standard of knowledge recommended by the American Health Information Management Association.
