ICD-10-CM AND ICD-10-PCS TRAINING

There is no doubt the impact of ICD-10 to healthcare facilities will be a financial burden that is not easily tracked. With the number of procedures and diagnosis codes vastly increasing due to ICD-10′s greater clinical detail and specificity, it seems there is not a department unaffected. This classification system will increase the need for documentation and provide increased data for measuring quality of care. Is your clinical documentation (CDI) and coding staff ready?

Our comprehensive ICD-10 training program is designed to prepare staff for the day-to-day coding of patient medical records. By limiting the number of students per class, Amphion’s training provides the opportunity for personalized interactive learning. Our Medical Chart Library provides opportunity to code mock patient records for ongoing retention of concepts.

Features Include:

• Web-based pre-ICD-10 training assessments for CM and PCS designed to test your knowledge in anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and medical terminology to identify areas of weakness.
• 16 hours of ICD-10-CM training taught in four half-day classes designed to target each chapter with interactive coding exercises.
• 24 hours of ICD-10-PCS training taught in four five-hour classes and one four-hour class are designed to cover all body systems and root operations with interactive coding exercises.
• Presentation handouts, AHIMA coder training manuals for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS, Ingenix ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS code books, and a copy of the Official Coding Guidelines.
• Web-based post-ICD-10 assessments for CM and PCS designed to test your staff’s retention of ICD-10 after training.
• Half day remote sessions are designed to allow your staff the flexibility to train and still be available to work the rest of the day.

Don’t Wait – Start Now!

Amphion’s training program is designed to help your staff prepare, learn, retain, and practice coding in ICD-10. Don’t let your staff wait until the last minute to start the process. Designed to allow for learning over a period of time, your staff’s knowledge and retention of concepts will help improve productivity when October 1, 2013 arrives. According to AAPC’s article, “ICD-10 Impact on Productivity,” “When preparation is done early, we should expect that productivity will return to normal about four to six months after the official implementation date.”

Amphion is looking forward NOW to ICD-10 and so should you!
