ICD-10 training seminar dates and locations announced



The California Medical Association (CMA), in partnership with your local county medical society and the California Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), is now offering statewide, two-day ICD-10 code set seminars this summer. A full schedule of dates and locations is now available at www.cmanet.org/AAPC-ICD10.

The training is designed specifically for coding staff and intended to give attendees a comprehensive understanding of guidelines and conventions of ICD-10, as well as fundamental knowledge of how to decipher, understand and accurately apply codes in ICD-10.

This American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) course is the gold standard of training for coders and is being offered at a tremendous savings. CMA has negotiated a reduced price of $399 for CMA members and $499 for California MGMA members. The program is also available to non-members for the reduced price of $599; $200 of that may be applied to a new CMA membership following the course. AAPC typically charges non-members $799 for this course.

Training is provided onsite in a classroom format and will be conducted over two days, including 16 hours of intensive general ICD-10 code set training along with hands-on coding exercises. Each attendee receives the AAPC ICD-10-CM Code Set Course Manual and ICD-10-CM Code Set Draft Book. The onsite training course is approved for 16 continuing education units (CEU) through AAPC. Following the onsite training, attendees will be given an ICD-10 proficiency assessment to ensure understanding of ICD-10 concepts and guidelines and will have access to AAPC’s online ICD-10-CM Assessment Training Course through December 31, 2015.

To register, please visit www.cmanet.org/AAPC-ICD10 and select the course nearest you or call (800) 786-4262. Space is limited and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Additional dates will soon be added in the areas of Fresno/Merced, Santa Barbara/San Luis Obispo and Yuba/Sutter/Colusa counties. Check the events page above for updates.
