Libman Education releases Gail Smith's New Foundational Course on CPT Coding

BEDFORD, Mass. - April 23, 2020 - PRLog -- Libman Education announces the release of CPT: Introduction to Procedural Coding by nationally recognized CPT coding authority Gail I. Smith, MA, RHIA, CCS-P, CPT.  The online, on-demand course provides the essential knowledge and decision-making skills necessary for accurate and complete CPT coding.

Whether an entry-level coder seeking their first job or an experienced coder ready to "kick it up a notch," CPT: Introduction to Procedural Coding prepares coders for the broad challenges of outpatient coding in Ambulatory Surgery Centers, Hospitals, and large Physician Group Practices.

"I believe that to be truly effective, outpatient coders need deep foundational knowledge of the CPT coding system to prepare them to code whatever appears in their queue that day," said course author Gail I. Smith.  "To really excel, CPT coders need to understand how the coding system works, the guidelines that govern its application, and how to code in the real world of outpatient procedures.  If they do this, they can code anything."

In CPT: Introduction to Procedural Coding coders learn the principals governing accurate and complete CPT coding in any setting and any body system. Armed with this foundational knowledge, the course turns to the specifics of CPT coding for a broad range of outpatient procedures. As a final step, coders put it all together and practice their CPT coding skills on 50 carefully selected real world outpatient surgical cases to reinforce learning and challenge their coding skills.

"Flexibility and agility are particularly important work skills for coders given the rapid changes occurring in healthcare," according to Susan Pepple, President of Libman Education.  "Working with Gail is always a thrill and this course was of particular interest to Libman Education as it addresses the shortage of highly skilled outpatient coders. Gail's training approach that focuses on foundational understanding gives the coder the ability to do whatever work there is to be done."
