ICD-10-CM Coding Certificate Program for SNFs + ICD-10-CM for PDPM

In this four-part certificate program, AAPACN master teacher, Carol Maher, RN-BC, RAC-MT, CPC, walks through the process for using the ICD-10-CM Manual, from identification of the main term through the final code selection, and review coding and chapter-specific guidelines. You will have the opportunity to enhance your learning and locate correct ICD-10-CM codes throughout this interactive education program.

After passing the associated final examination with a score of 80% or better, you will receive access to a certificate of completion that can be downloaded, printed, and proudly displayed as recognition of your achievement.

For the best learning and most successful testing experiences, we strongly recommend you have a current copy of an ICD-10 manual on-hand. A free version is available on the CMS site, or you may purchase a version of your choosing.
