Synopsis

You Code It! Abstracting Case Studies Practicum is part of a series that instructs students on how to become proficient in medical coding- a health care field that continues to be in high demand. Students are presented with the opportunity to practice abstracting with real-world health professionals' documentation and accurately translating these facts into the best, most accurate codes. This gives students the medical coding experience needed in order to pass medical coding certification exams, such as the CCA, CCS/CCS-P, or CPC/COC.
