« back to classes page
This course offers comprehensive training in medical coding, focusing on the proper use and application of ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II code sets. Students will learn how to analyze medical documentation and assign accurate codes for diagnoses, procedures, and services provided in both outpatient and inpatient settings. Emphasis is placed on understanding coding guidelines, code selection criteria, and the importance of accuracy and compliance in the healthcare reimbursement process. The course covers coding conventions, medical necessity, and how to interpret physician notes to extract relevant information. Students will also explore the relationship between coding, billing, and insurance claims, as well as the role of coding in fraud prevention and healthcare data reporting. Hands-on coding exercises and real-world case studies will help students build the skills necessary for entry-level coding positions.

Students who successfully complete all four courses will receive a Mt. SAC Community Education Certificate of Completion. Certificates will be awarded upon satisfactory fulfillment of all attendance, assignment, and examination requirements.
