Our Online Training is Totally LMS
CPC EXAM PREP
12-Week "Weekend" Class
Hybrid
(Hybrid = online AND live virtual training)
Our CPC Exam Prep Hybrid weekday and weekend classes include "live" instructor led classes. Our online learning management system (LMS) includes chapter modules, exercises, quizzes, and exams. But, the best part is that our Hybrid program includes weekly "live" instructor led training via our interactive virtual classroom. This is not a self-study program, our certified coder instructors go more in depth with helping you understand the coding guidelines, correct application of the code sets (ICD-10-CM, CPT, & HCPCS) and modifiers, illustration of coding scenarios, and abstract coding, and more. Our live sessions are interactive and we "code together".
