Outpatient Coding Flashcards

As physicians move away from private practices and join hospital groups, career opportunities in outpatient facilities such as ambulatory surgical centers or hospital outpatient billing and coding departments are opening for coders. The Certified Outpatient Coding (COC™) (formerly CPC-H®) exam validates the specialized payment knowledge needed for the outpatient ambulatory coder jobs in addition to your CPT®, ICD-10, and HCPCS Level II coding skills.

The Certified Outpatient Coder (COC) is the only standalone outpatient coding credential in the healthcare industry. The COC certification exam tests the competencies required to perform the job of an outpatient facility coder. Individuals earning the credential have proven expertise in outpatient documentation review, abstract outpatient care encounters (eg, emergency department, outpatient hospitals, and ASCs), coding proficiency with CPT®, HCPCS Level II and ICD-9-CM Volume 1-2, ICD-10 CM and outpatient payment methodologies.
