Beginners coding boot camp Learn how to code. Start with the fundamentals while learning how the code choices you make impact your agency’s reimbursement.

We’ll tell you what must be in the record according to the Conditions of Participation. We’ll outline the critical CMS guidance that must be followed to pass an audit or documentation review. Proper documentation also impacts your outcomes score. Learn to create goals and plans to build the groundwork for subsequent patient visits, and hear what the OIG is focusing on.
