Code-A-Round
Code-A-Round is an online coding simulation that mimics a real-world coding experience. Coders view actual, redacted patient notes on screen and are then asked to input the correct ICD-9-CM, CPT® and/or HCPCS codes for that note. The answers are not multiple choice – coders must input the correct codes without being able to select from available options. Incorrect answers are flagged for re-coding, but question answers or rationales are not given. In this manner, Code-A-Round attempts to closely simulate the on-the-job environment.
Code-A-Round provides AAPC members with an avenue to meet their specialty certification CEU requirements. Specialty credential holders will learn by working through the intricacies of the unique coding, reimbursement and compliance challenges of each patient note. Each Code-A-Round contains five patient notes and is approved for one AAPC CEU. Although designed for specialty credential holders, Code-A-Round CEUs will also satisfy CEU requirements for the CPC, CPC-H and CPC-P credentials. Each five-note round should take approximately one hour to complete.
- 5 redacted op notes per round
- 1 CEU per round
- $9.95 per round
Code-A-Round is both affordable and easily accessible – priced at only $9.95 per five-note round and available online from any computer with Internet access.
Note: Code-A-Round notes and answers are intended for educational purposes only, not as a reference standard for coding. Each note has been coded twice by independent certified coders and then quality checked for accuracy by a senior coder. However, due to the nature of the coding process, answers should not be considered definitive.
