Follow on Google News | Career Step Co-Hosting Webinar Highlighting Industry Demand for Inpatient Auditing SkillsetCareer Step and HFMA are hosting a webinar November 21 highlighting industry demand for inpatient auditing skills and introducing HFMA's new Certified Inpatient Coding Auditor (CICA) certificate.
By: Career Step "By transforming coders into auditors with our program, we have created another career path for experienced coders," said Laurie McBrierty, Career Step Vice President of Program Management. "With the creation of the CICA certificate, organizations can rest assured they are hiring individuals with the experience, knowledge and skills they need." With Medicare audits increasing by 936 percent over the past five years, it has never been more important for healthcare organizations to ensure that billing records are accurately reported to prevent potential revenue losses. Career Step has been closely monitoring this trend and, based on client requests, developed an Inpatient Auditing training program to help experienced coders make the transition to auditing positions. HFMA's development of the new CICA certificate is another industry indicator that validates the continuing need for auditors. Career Step and HFMA experts will be hosting the November 21 webinar, which will focus on why auditing is becoming such an area of need within health information management. The webinar will cover how individuals can gain the skills needed to take advantage of this career opportunity and how the new HFMA CICA certificate will help. The new certificate will become available in January 2018. Graduates of Career Step's Inpatient Auditing program will be particularly well suited to sit for this certificate.
