The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is the globally recognised system for accurately documenting and coding medical diagnoses and procedures. The ICD, which was officially embraced by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 1948, has evolved from ICD-1 to ICD-11. This course, published by Skill Tutor, serves as a gateway to mastering the art of accurate healthcare billing and coding.

In the first section, we will introduce you to the foundations of the ICD coding system. You will gain insight into the significance of ICD in healthcare documentation and billing processes. We will then delve into the depths of ICD-10, an essential system that you will encounter frequently in your medical coding career. Explore the importance of ICD-10, its structure and organisation, the coding techniques specific to ICD-10, and the critical documentation requirements needed for accurate coding and billing.

As the healthcare industry evolves, so does medical coding. The final section will guide you through the transition to ICD-11, preparing you for the coding landscape of the future. You will also get to understand the structural changes in ICD-11, learn advanced coding scenarios, and explore the coding tools and technology revolutionising the field. This course empowers you to stay ahead in the dynamic world of healthcare coding and compliance and navigate both ICD-10 and the transition to ICD-11. Enrol now.
