Course Summary
Clinical coding is critical for public health reporting. It helps in the assessment of the quality of care, and leads to improved health services planning, education, research, and performance monitoring.
The widely used code set for diagnoses is the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), of which the latest implemented version is the 10th edition (ICD-10). The code sets currently used in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are ICD-10-AM (Australian modification) for diagnosis reporting in all healthcare settings and the Australian Classification of Health Interventions (ACHI) for inpatient procedure reporting.
A comprehensive team of experts from ACCUMED Practice Management and the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), came together to develop the Saudi Billing System (SBS), in response to the requirements and compliance by the regulator that led to the development of this program.
This Outpatient Coder Certificate Program focuses on training healthcare professionals for coding in an ambulatory setting using ICD-10-AM and the Saudi Billing System (SBS).
The Outpatient Coder Certificate Program consists of 12 modules beginning with an introduction to each of the classifications of the Saudi Billing System (SBS). It then moves on to specialty-specific coding, culminating with a practicum that involves the application of codes to ambulatory cases.
Those who successfully complete all 12 modules, in addition to fulfilling the pre-requisite requirements, are eligible to take the Outpatient Coder Certificate exam, administered by AHIMA.
By the end of this certificate program, you will be able to:
- Identify the structure and organization of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems – Tenth Revision – Australian Modification (ICD-10-AM), Saudi Billing System (SBS)
- Apply the conventions and instructions found in ICD-10-AM, SBS
- Determine diagnosis and procedure codes for ambulatory cases
Top 5 learning outcomes you will achieve by attending this program
- Successfully demonstrate the important role of the coding profession within the healthcare delivery system
- Evaluate the compliance of health record content within the health organization
- Determine diagnosis and procedure codes according to official coding guidelines
- Adhere to workplace policies, procedures, and professional requirements
- Ensure compliance with KSA regulatory requirements
Students must demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of the following subjects (either through formal education or work experience):
Each module contains the below:
- Anatomy and Physiology
