Thanks again for your interest in MAG Mutual HealthCare Solutions,
Inc. (MMHSI) and our coding certification workshops. We appreciate
your interest in being a co-sponsor for MAG Mutual HealthCare
Solutions and other interested coders in your area.
As a co-sponsor, we will
need for you to find an instruction location. This location
can be any type of community-based facility such as a hospital
or library, willing to donate a room for a few days to hold
the class in. The room must be able to hold at least 20 people
in a classroom setting with tables and chairs or desks for
each individual.
If the co-sponsor wants to
collect all of the registration information and fees from
the individuals taking the course, it must be collected and
turned into our office 45 days prior to the day of the exam.
This is to insure proper registration with AAPC.
Another option is to allow
MMHSI to do all the registration and collection of funds.
This option works much better for the co-sponsor.
Please remember that if you
recruit ten more individuals to attend the course, you can
attend at no cost to you, and, if you can recruit fifteen
individuals, another person of your choice may attend free.
The cost of the course is $895.00 per person and includes
AAPC study materials. If you or any of the other individuals
elect to take the CPC exam, there is an additional $250.00,
which is sent directly to AAPC.
Individuals attending the
course will need at least two years experience in the medical
field, a basic knowledge of ICD-9 and CPT coding and medical
terminology.
The materials needed for
the course are as follows:
· A current year's
AMA CPT Professional Edition
· A current year's ICD-9-CM book
· A current year's HCPCS Level II book
· A medical Dictionary
If any of these books are
needed before the course, they can be purchased through us
here at MAG Mutual HealthCare Solutions, Inc. A complete
list of these and other coding references are available on
our website at.www.coderscentral.com.
If you need any further information
regarding the course, please feel free to contact me at (770)
241-4344.
Sincerely,
Steven A. Adams, CPC, CPC-H, COA
MAG Mutual HealthCare Solutions, Inc.
