Cardiology Staff Training by CardiologyCoder.com Our monthly membership newsletter is probably the most innovative and effective learning opportunity available to cardiology coders. Each publication provides an easy to understand clinical overview of common cardiology procedures and the documentation, coding, and billing rules that apply. If you’ve tried to educate staff with print publications in the past you may have found that it is impossible to confirm that they read the publications, that they understand the guidance presented, or that they will know how to apply the knowledge in real-world scenarios. CardiologyCoder.com has a better way to definitively, effectively, and efficiently train your entire coding staff: On-line Proficiency Testing. Each month, your employees will take an online test which confirms their understanding of the pertinent issues in each publication. They will be tested on the anatomy, documentation rules, and coding guidelines presented in each article. Their skills will also be tested with real life case studies in which they assign billing codes to actual medical documentation of procedures and visit notes. The designated administrator of your practice will have constant access to employee report cards which illustrate employee test performance. You will be able to see which questions were accurately answered and which ones were missed. You can rely on these report cards to substantiate the Office of Inspector General’s recommended training component of a physician practice compliance program. This paper trail of routine compliance training is much more effective than sign in sheets from generic compliance seminars or proof of subscribing to trade journals. Hold onto your hat; it gets even better! Successful completion of each on-line test qualifies each employee for 2.5 AAPC pre-approved Continuing Education Units. CEU certificates are awarded immediately after successful completion of the test and portable document format (PDF) versions of the certificates reside in the employee’s membership account for easy keeping. That’s right, no more last minute scrambling to locate those CEU certificates. Your practice can subscribe to our newsletter and obtain your first online proficiency testing account for just $300/year. This will provide your designated administrator with the opportunity to earn 30 AAPC pre-approved CEUs by taking each of the monthly tests. Once your practice is a member you can set up additional online testing accounts for just $50/year. This is a truly effective way to definitively train your entire team; join now!

It reflects your in-depth clinical knowledge as well as practical experience. I read every word and keep each issue for reference. To really understand what occurs during a procedure, beyond a reiteration of CPT descriptions use this newsletter.” Rita McDonald, Cardiology Consultants of Westchester, PC “With your guidance in coding we were able to make last year the most successful year, revenue wise, in CCN history. I actually make extra copies of your Cardiology Coalition Newsletter because they get used so frequently by the billing team.” Deb Koladziej, Director of Business Services, Cardiovascular Consultants of Nevada “Wow, I am so glad I became a member! The newsletter is so informative and detailed and the test is great too. I will be utilizing this site frequently. Thanks so much.” Angela Watson, Cardiology Coder for Watson Clinic. “I am being very sincere, I think this is an invaluable resource if you are a cardiology biller and I will continue to recommend it! Not only for a new cardiology coder, but a seasoned coder like myself. Thanks again” Ann M. Scott, CPC, ACS-CA, CCS-P, Business Operations Manager, Mid-Ohio Heart Clinic, Inc. “I have been in this business for many years and have used many text books and reference guides and currently have a bookshelf full of them. This study guide was by far the best I have come across. I will be using it not only as a study guide, but also as a teaching tool and a reference tool. An awesome book. Job well done.” Sincerely, Carol Hodge, CPC, Cardiology Associates |
