Coding Course

On Sale Now!

ldellavella

Are you a medical coder or medical coding student who wants to learn more about diagnostic radiology coding?

There are A LOT of codes in the CPT book and you’re probably only familiar with the ones you use everyday.

So, if you’re a coder in another specialty, or a coding student, you might not know that much about the CPT coding of x-ray’s just because you haven’t had the opportunity to code them yet, or maybe it’s something that really wasn’t focused on in your regular coding classes.

Our new online coding class is available now! It focuses on the CPT coding of x-rays. You will code HIPAA compliant reports after each lesson and do coding practice exercises, take quizzes (your score is available immediately after submitting it) and there is test at the end. Supplemental info/sources/links are also provided. It is all online and self-paced.

The instructor (me- Lindsay Della Vella!) is available 24/7 through email for questions.

This class is getting excellent reviews from fellow coders who have already completed it. I hope you join us!

It is on sale NOW for $39.99! Offer expires Sunday at 5 pm EST.

Diagnostic Radiology Online Coding Course

ldellavella

Midnight Medical Coding will be offering an online diagnostic radiology coding course starting in January 2019! This course focuses on x-ray CPT coding. You’ll learn the most common codes, how to look them up in the book and you’ll practice coding HIPAA compliant reports.

The course is done at your own pace and I’m always available for questions. There’s 9 modules (may ultimately end up being 10) which includes videos for instruction, pdf downloads, quizzes and practice coding exercises.

Students will also have the option of joining a private Facebook group just for people who take this course. That is where I can always be reached and I’ll also be sharing supplemental materials there. It also will be a place for students just to connect and talk to each other.

I’m super excited about this! Cost is $50.00 and you will have access to the course to December 2019.

If you want to stay in the loop and be notified when this course becomes available please go to: https://midnightmedicalcoding.podia.com/intro-to-x-ray-cpt-… and sign up for updates.
