Industry Certificate in Medical Coding and ICD-10-CM

CHMR has launched this Industry Certificate Programme in medical coding. The programme has been designed by professionals with experience in the real medical coding world. The programme structure appropriately covers all essentials of Medical Coding and ICD-10 along with diagnosis and procedure codes extensively and lives examples, exercises, case studies and brief of Medical Coding and ICD-10. Conditions and complications from all 21 chapters of Medical Coding and ICD-10-CM and associated procedures are rigorously covered through life-like coding scenarios. Since the programme is meant for fresh passouts as well as employed professionals from the healthcare industry or existing medical coders, the programme briefs all aspects in a limited time and shorter duration.

IGMPI has long been a part of the healthcare education chain and has been into the field with its many professional’s healthcare programmes. This yet another one has been an addition to the basket of existing ones.

The case study based approach in Medical Coding and ICD-10 programme via Regular and online interactive modes is designed for students and professionals who wish to complete the programme in shorter time duration. This programme is beneficial for professionals from different streams to help them intensify their knowledge. This is a fast track and advanced programme having rigorous case studies based methodology throughout the duration.

Future career Prospects of Training in Medical Coding:

Healthcare industry is a fast growing industry; so as the career opportunities in the industry. The demand for Medical Coders is increasing all over the world day by day. Medical coding is an upcoming in-demand field in the stream of Healthcare Administration. A medical coder extracts the information from patients’ medical records and converts them to an industry-standard medical code, which is accepted universally.The healthcare industry is a fast-growing industry and the demand for medical coders is increasing exponentially. There are two factors that again make the demand for Coders high. Due to the immediate implementation of Medical Coding and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases-10th Revision) and EHR (Electronic Health Record), the Healthcare Industry is aggressively looking for trained, efficient, knowledgeable and certified coders.
