GET TRAINED ON ICD-10 CODING FOR PDPM

Training key staff to be ICD-10 proficient is critical. Inaccurate ICD-10 coding can negatively impact a facility’s bottom line and resident care.  The American Health Care Association (AHCA) and the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) are offering ICD-10 online training.

Because staff needs differ based on their coding responsibilities, two specific trainings have been developed – one training for coders and a shorter less intense course for non-coders.

AHCA/AHIMA ICD-10 Training for PDPM – Coder

This is a in-depth course designed for SNF billing staff, MDS staff, Nursing and Therapy staff, and Admissions and Discharge staff.  The cost is $499 for AHCA members and $599 for non-members.

AHCA/AHIMA ICD-10 Training for PDPM – Non-Coder

This is a four-hour course developed for individuals who need to lead a successful PDPM transition and is intended for Administrators, DONs, and other management staff.  The cost is $199 for AHCA members and $249 for non-members.
