Wiki Inpatient coding materials

[christydh@protonmail.com]

Hello, I have my CPC and have been coding physician outpatient for several years. Now I was looking toward the inpatient world. I looked at the CPC-H but it says no inpatient coding just hospital facility. I even looked at AHIMA's CCS and it states no inpatient coding is included in the course. I realize they go hand in hand but I don't want to spend the money on a course that doesn't touch the actual inpatient coding world. Any suggestions?????

The CPC-H is going to focus on outpatient facility.

The CCS focuses on inpatient facility, with a little of outpatient as well.

I am confused why a CCS course would say it does not include inpatient coding?
