CodeProU Courses

1. Learn the terminology if you are not a clinician. If you are a clinician, then skip right into step number 2. This course will help you learn the terminology and normal physiology of the body systems, pathophysiology of common conditions and documentation, and assessment tips necessary for a complete assessment including complete and accurate coding.
   • CodeProU: Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology for Clinicians & Coders
2. Now it is time to get started with learning to code! The Essentials course begins with the whole concept of assigning a diagnosis code to a diagnosis, how those codes are used to establish eligibility, how to use the coding manual and how to recognize and apply coding conventions and general coding guidelines. This course lays the foundation for a successful career.
   • [CPU5510] CodeProU: Essential Concepts of Home Health & Hospice Coding in ICD-10-CM | LEVEL 1 | NEW – 12.03.17 | Replaces CPU5220
3. Once you have had plenty of practice with the foundation concepts of diagnosis coding, you are ready to move on to Level 2. In Level 2, the coder will dive deeper into each chapter (1 – 21 or A-Z) of the coding manual, exploring pertinent chapter specific guidelines and applying them to home care and hospice scenarios. Also included are courses on correction of OASIS data (including coding) and collaboration.
   • CodeProU: 2018 ICD-10-CM for Home Health & Hospice Coders [LEVEL 2]
4. Step 4 for a hospice coder is to learn Medicare expectations for assigning diagnoses to support the terminal diagnosis, and identifying related and unrelated diagnoses. The coder also needs to learn the roles of the attending and the medical director.

There are only 3 steps to this process

1. Take the full OASIS Program
   • Ultimate OASIS-C2 – Item By Item Training Series
2. Take the practice test. This is also a good refresher.
   • OASIS-C2 KNOWLEDGE ASSESSMENT TEST [O-KAT]
3. Updates will be available as CMS releases them.

Anatomy, Physiology & Pathophysiology and Documentation

• For Coders and Clinicians
  • Anatomy, Physiology & Pathophysiology training consists of 11 Modules with over 6 hours of education and includes over 20 quizzes throughout the training modules for coders and clinicians. Modules include: Terminology for ICD-10 and the following systems: Neuro, Mental/Behavioral, Endocrine, Blood & Immune, Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary, Integumentary, and Musculoskeletal systems and the in-depth review of the cells, tissues, organs and function of each body system and examination of the diseases and disease processes specific to them.
  • Each module contains the following information:
    • Outlines the anatomical components, focusing on the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs of the body system.
    • Review of normal physiology of the system.
    • Examination of the pathophysiology of common conditions that affect the body system, with causes, symptoms and assessment tips for clinicians.
    • Outlines the key documentation points that will be necessary for coding in ICD-10.
• For Clinicians Only
  • These learning modules are divided into four separate components, each containing an explanation of the CMS requirements and extensive examples of appropriate documentation. These modules can also be used as part of orientation for new clinicians. This information will be updated as required by changes in CMS regulation and policy.
    • CMS Requirements: homebound status, skilled care and medical necessity
    • Reimbursement: case example of HHRG calculation and how incomplete or inaccurate documentation can cost in downcoding, sample documentation to support case-mix diagnoses and OASIS items that are components of reimbursement.
    • Care coordination: coordination with physicians, between disciplines and clinicians, and with patients/families; conference points for SOC, ROC, recertification and discharge.
    • Key ICD-10 Documentation: outline of the key points clinicians will need to assess and document in each body system in order for coders to be able to perform diagnosis coding in ICD-10.

Separate learning modules for hospice specific clinicians include hospice specific information on CMS requirements, reimbursement, care coordination and the role of the IDT in ICD-10 and key ICD-10 documentation

1. CodeProU: 2018 ICD-10-CM Update for Home Care CodersEvery year effective October 1, new codes are added and rules change. You must stay up to date!
2. AHA Coding Clinic updates as they become available.
3. CodeProU: Improving Clinical Documentation for Home Health helps clinicians and therapists improve understanding of the specific documentation points necessary to support CMS requirements and reimbursement case-mix points, and to gain knowledge of the assessment and documentation changes that will be needed to meet the demands of ICD-10 coding.
4. CodeProU: ICD-10-CM Coding for Hospice A Closer Look at Hospice Coding. Get prepared for the HCS-H certification exam.
5. CodeProU: HCS-D / HCS-O Continuing Education 2-PGM Package Great educational programs that will also help you achieve your Coding and OASIS continuing education.
