Who will offer training on ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS, and what type of training will be offered?
Many vocational schools offer ICD-10 training. I’d recommend you go through CareerStep’s program, a comprehensive training module that’s offered online and covers both ICD-10 PCS and ICD-10 CM code training. ICD-10 CM is a 12-week course with numerous coding exercises and actual coding scenarios and clinical documentation. ICD-10 PCS consists of a 16-week training with coding exercises by ICD-10 PCS root operation and inpatient coding scenarios.
