Course Description
An advanced course specializing in all aspects of ICD-10-CM coding. This course will focus on specific body systems and not the overall aspect of ICD-10-CM coding.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Learn how to code procedures for a variety of specific body systems.
- Learn how to code diseases of a variety of specific body systems.
- Learn the use of V codes and E codes.

Testing and Grading
You will have tests for each unit and a final exam. NO student will be able to make up the exams or homework - NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
No homework will be accepted late. All homework must be completed and turned in by 11:59 PM on the due date. O I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you write down due dates on a calendar that is easily seen. Post discussions early!!! If you wait until the last minute to post discussions, you are not participating. Remember, assignments are due at 11:59 PM!
Grades will be composed of readings, assignments, papers, participation, and final exam. All grades will be posted in Canvas. I will not send grades via individual email.
Because I have some students taking several different classes, please specify what the class is, what chapter, the question number, and if the question is regarding an assignment or test.
For example: In class 070, assignment 2, question 4, I don’t understand the difference between diabetes with polyneuropathy and diabetes with retinopathy. What do I code if they have both?
Or: in 070, test 3, question 2, I have procedure code 45678 but the quiz answer shows 45677. Can you explain the difference?
I will post announcements throughout the semester with important classroom information, so be sure to check the Announcements section of Canvas for announcements.
