McHenry County College (MCC) will offer a two-day boot camp training for medical coders and other healthcare professionals to learn ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS, upgraded healthcare diagnostic and procedural coding systems. The training will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 9 and 10 in Room A113 at the college, located at 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.
The ICD-10 is mandated by the federal government for use in the healthcare industry beginning on Oct. 1, 2013. This two-day boot camp explains the structure, format and content of ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS. These new classification systems will replace the current ICD-9-CM and ICD-9-PCS classification systems.
A comprehensive explanation of codes, expansions, revisions and guidelines will be reviewed and students will complete exercises to reinforce concepts. Anatomy, disease processes and illustrations will be emphasized in relation to coding accuracy.
Cost is $799 and includes the required textbook and code manuals. Students will access and use digital copies of ICD-10 files. Students are allowed to bring in and use their own laptops and/or print versions of the coding system.
To register for the training, call the MCC Registration office at (815) 455-8588 and mention course ID: QHC C12-008. For more information, contact MaryAnn Dimitrov at (847) 915-0360.
