Primary Care
Primer: Coding for Primary Care
is a comprehensive CD-ROM based interactive
course. This self-paced CD-ROM course provides
in-depth coverage of the guidelines, coding, and
documentation requirements for services a
primary care provider might deliver.
Primary care providers include those in family
practice, general practitioners, and internal
medicine. Sometimes pediatricians and
gynecologists are also considered primary care
providers.

The self-paced
nature of the course allows you to work at your
own pace. This is also an excellent way to
satisfy the continuing education provision of
the compliance plan of a physician practice or
third party billing firm.
This course has
been pre-approved
for 18.0 Continuing Education Units
from the American Academy of Professional Coders
(AAPC) and the American Healthcare Information
Management Association (AHIMA). So for a reasonable expense, you’ll be
able to tune up your knowledge and fulfill a
large portion, if not all, of your annual CEU requirement!
