谢谢楼主开贴,为好多有心有闲的姐妹打开一扇通往新知识的大门。 总结一下我昨天看来的东西,给后来人参考: 一、发证机关(主要有三家) 1、AHIMA 2、AAPC 3、NHA 二、入门级的证书类别 1、CCA and CCS by AHIMA 2、CPC by AAPC 3、CBCS by NHA 三、去哪上课 1、上述三家发证机构的官网 2、楼主推荐的career path, andrewsschool 3、各大学的网课, 比如Purdue Global 4、家门口社区大学(真人或者在线) 四、项目时间 1、AAPC官网是我看到的最短的,16周。老师在线授课答疑,进度非常快。 2、常见的是12个月的网课,按照自己的进度慢慢来。老师负责邮件答疑什么的。 五、考试 各家可能稍有不同。我看的社区大学FAQ说:结业之后先给发一张结业证,学生可以自由选择三种资格证中的一种,学校提供备考材料和考试费用(voucher).考生自己注册选择考试日期和地点。 @@@@@@@@@@ 下面贴一个课程目录供参考(各家不同)。看得我心花怒放,都是我超级感兴趣的话题。我以前公司用的是DSM诊断手册,早听说过ICD-10诊断标准,这次有机会学习了解一下,非常喜欢。 Medical Terminology Introduction to Medical Terminology The Musculoskeletal System The Cardiovascular System The Lymphatic and Immune Systems The Respiratory System The Digestive System The Urinary System The Nervous System The Special Senses The Eyes and Ears The Integumentary System The Endocrine System The Reproductive System Diagnostic Procedures, Nuclear Medicine, Pharmacology Medical Billing and Coding Introduction to Medical Billing and Coding Career Opportunities Personal and Technical Qualifications Employment Settings Telecommunications Professional Certifications Introduction to Health Insurance Health Insurance Terminology Commercial and Government Payers Healthcare Documentation Electronic Health Record Managed Healthcare Types of Reimbursement Managed Care Providers Managed Care Models Consumer-Directed Health Plans Revenue Cycle Management Phases of Revenue Cycle Management Encounter Form, Chargemaster Insurance Claim Cycle New Patient Registration Collection Practices Legal Aspects of Health Insurance and Reimbursement Laws Affecting Healthcare Protected Health Information Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Fraud and Abuse in Medical Billing and Coding Release of Information VI.

Coder不就就是码农公?
aapc官网的课是针对有医学背景的,没有医学背景的需要先学习医学词汇,人体结构疾病名称啥的。我看他们的介绍是这么说的。
谢谢楼主!我明白了。
刚才又看到一个问题:外行直接上课考试,拿到的证书是CPC-A,而不是CPC,对吗?
这个A一般通过什么方式去掉呢?谢谢!
我看到他家也有这些基础知识的预备课。先上预备课,再上备考的课。MM你想上吗?我正在考虑。我对他们的课程内容非常感兴趣,比如人体结构、致病原因、医院文件的流程这些。
Part time 我不清楚有没有医疗保险呢。很强的医学背景的话,应该很容易上手。
对,cpc-a 从事coding工作后一年可以去掉a,或者aapc有program可以去掉a,但是要交钱。。。我觉得他们就是个黑社会组织。。。cpc-a以前不好找工作,近两年由于缺人,雇主也开始大量招cpc-a了
对,billing需要和保险公司医院还有病人交流,coding不需要
aapc管cpc,有各种program可以报名备考,纯自学的话很难有条理的进行
懂了。多谢楼主!
对,procedure coding 也是coding的一种,诊所的code通常没几个,前台就能够一起帮忙做了,用不上雇单独的coder
个人觉得想系统学习,不如去社大修课,性价比远高于这些卖课程的网站,州内学费一门课才几十块。
我想做这个,天天和病人和家属打交道烦死了。不想去读NP,读出来还是要和病人打交道。
查了一下 我们社区大学的资格证项目也得小三千
总结一下我昨天看来的东西,给后来人参考:
一、发证机关(主要有三家) 1、AHIMA 2、AAPC 3、NHA
二、入门级的证书类别 1、CCA and CCS by AHIMA 2、CPC by AAPC 3、CBCS by NHA
三、去哪上课 1、上述三家发证机构的官网 2、楼主推荐的career path, andrewsschool 3、各大学的网课, 比如Purdue Global 4、家门口社区大学(真人或者在线)
四、项目时间 1、AAPC官网是我看到的最短的,16周。老师在线授课答疑,进度非常快。 2、常见的是12个月的网课,按照自己的进度慢慢来。老师负责邮件答疑什么的。
五、考试 各家可能稍有不同。我看的社区大学FAQ说:结业之后先给发一张结业证,学生可以自由选择三种资格证中的一种,学校提供备考材料和考试费用(voucher).考生自己注册选择考试日期和地点。
