Elevate Your Medical Coding and Auditing Skills with Our Health Information Management Courses
Elevate Your Medical Coding and Auditing Skills with Our Health Information Management Courses
Medical coders and auditors stand as vital linchpins in ensuring accurate billing, compliance, and quality patient care. Medical coding and auditing require not only precision but also a deep understanding of ever-changing coding systems and guidelines. In the realm of medical coding, the ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and CPT code sets are the cornerstone of our work, and mastering them is a journey that never truly ends. That is why active enrollment in health information management courses is crucial to a coder’s or auditor’s success.
At YES, we understand the dynamic nature of the healthcare industry and the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest coding developments. That’s why we are thrilled to share our “Refresh With YES” learning series, designed specifically for medical coders and auditors looking to stay ahead of the curve in their careers. These health information management courses are not just simple coding webinars, they are your keys to a library of hot medical coding topics and annual updates, offering you a continuous path to knowledge enhancement.
Our “Refresh With YES” series offers a wealth of knowledge and expertise, providing you with the tools you need to thrive in this dynamic field. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your coding journey, there is always something new to learn, and we are here to help you stay on top of your game. Let’s embark on a journey of growth, discovery, and continuous improvement with our “Refresh With YES” learning series.
Here are a few courses you can find in our health information management training Education Catalog:
ICD-10-CM Cerebrovascular Disease
The Refresh With YES: ICD-10-CM Cerebrovascular Disease Learning Path provides a detailed review of coding for cerebrovascular diseases in ICD-10-CM. This four-part series covers a range of topics including the anatomy of the brain and arteries that supply blood to the brain, nontraumatic and traumatic intracranial and intracerebral hemorrhage, coding for nontraumatic subarachnoid, intracerebral and intracranial hemorrhage conditions, and neurological effects of stroke. Additionally, the series highlights the coding of ischemic cerebral infarctions in category I63, category I69 Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease and the coding of “late effects” of categories I60-I67. The series also includes clinical examples, applicable coding guidelines, and Coding Clinic articles to help learners gain a comprehensive understanding of cerebrovascular disease coding.
The courses offered within this learning path include:
- CM Cerebrovascular Disease Anatomy and Terms
- CM Cerebrovascular Disease Codes I60-I62
- CM Cerebrovascular Disease Code I63
- CM Cerebrovascular Disease Code I69
YES Educators Ann Zeisset, RHIT, CCS, CCS-P, and Teri Jorwic, MPH, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, FAHIMA, lead this course. This learning path provides 1 CEU certificate (1 AAPC CEU and toward 1 AHIMA CEU).
ICD-10-PCS Root Operations: Restriction and Occlusion with Aneurysm Procedures
The Refresh With YES: PCS Root Operations – Restriction and Occlusion with Aneurysm Procedures Learning Path is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of coding for PCS Root Operations – Restriction and Occlusion. The focus of this series is on the treatment of aneurysms, with a detailed review of the underlying pathology and types of aneurysms, including cerebral and aortic aneurysms. Learners will also cover the most common methods of treatment for these aneurysms, along with PCS coding for aneurysm repair procedures. In addition, the course will examine coding conventions and guidelines, including the Official Coding Guidelines and relevant Coding Clinic articles and advice.
The courses offered within this learning path include:
- Course 1: PCS Root Operations – Restriction
- Course 2: PCS Root Operations – Occlusion
- Course 3: Aneurysm Background and Cerebral Aneurysms
- Course 4: Aortic Aneurysms
YES Educators Ann Zeisset, RHIT, CCS, CCS-P, and Teri Jorwic, MPH, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, FAHIMA, lead this course. This learning path provides 1 CEU Certificate toward 1 AHIMA CEU.
CPT Male Genital Procedures
The Refresh With YES: CPT Male Genital Procedures Learning Path is a comprehensive overview of the procedures related to the male genital system, consisting of five webinars with a duration of 15-24 minutes each. The series covers a variety of topics ranging from male anatomy to penile procedures, prostatectomy, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), and other associated procedures. Throughout the series, the technique and indicators of each procedure are thoroughly reviewed and discussed. Additionally, the series covers the CPT coding of medical reports and case studies, citing any applicable CPT Assistant articles and CPT guidelines.
By the end of the series, learners will be able to discuss the organs and functions of the male genital system, describe the indications and technique for TURP and associated procedures, describe the indications and technique for prostatectomy, review the codes available for the penis body part in the male genital system subsection, describe correct coding of penile procedures, including circumcision for newborns and older patients, review other procedures performed on the testes and associated structures, and apply CPT guidelines and advice from CPT Assistant to the coding of case scenarios.
The courses offered within this learning path include:
- Course 1: Anatomy
- Course 2: Penile Procedures
- Course 3: Prostatectomy
- Course 4: Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
- Course 5: Other Procedures
YES Educators Ann Zeisset, RHIT, CCS, CCS-P, and Teri Jorwic, MPH, RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, FAHIMA, lead this course. This learning path provides 1.5 CEU certificates (1.5 AAPC CEUs and toward 1.5 AHIMA CEUs).

One HIM client coder says, “Thank you to the YES Education Team and the YES Academy Educators! I took the CCS exam and passed, I would not have been able to do that without your education and the ICD-10 Academy. The live Q&A sessions for the academy offer the one-on-one experience that you don’t see with most online courses.”
