Libman Education Releases ICD-10-based CCA Exam Prep Course Authored by Recognized Coding Experts

BEDFORD, Mass. - Oct. 7, 2015 - PRLog -- To help coders prepare for the updated CCA Certification Exam in ICD-10 offered by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), Libman Education has released an ICD-10-based CCA exam prep course authored by nationally recognized coding experts Pamela Haney and Mary Beth York.

Titled Certified Coding Associate (CCA) Exam Review, the online, self-paced course provides a comprehensive review of the domains of AHIMA's CCA exam (including medical terminology, anatomy, reimbursement methodologies, healthcare data sets and standards). It also provides intensive ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and CPT coding practice and valuable study and test-taking strategies.

As a foundational medical coder credential, the CCA credential, according to AHIMA, “distinguishes coders by exhibiting commitment and demonstrating coding competencies across all settings, including both hospitals and physician practices. … Becoming a CCA positions you as a leader in an exciting and growing market.”

“With ICD-10 here, there is an immediate need to demonstrate ICD-10 coding proficiency across all settings,” said Pamela Haney. “My co-author Mary Beth York and I drew on our extensive coding experience to build a review course where students with foundational coding knowledge can learn just what they need to know in minimal time. Those who take the course can be ready for the CCA in as little as 8-10 weeks.”

Pamela Haney, MS, RHIA, CCS, CIC, COC, is the Director of Education and Training for Libman Education. She has over thirty years experience as a Director of HIM and Coding Services. An AHIMA certified ICD-10 trainer, she received the 2013 AHIMA Triumph Award in the Mentor category.  Haney was a beta tester for the AAPC CIC exam, and one of the first to receive the CIC certification.

Mary Beth York, CCS, CCS-P, CIC, has taught in a broad range of settings.  She has taught Libman Education’s highly successful CCS Exam Prep courses for eight years, and has also taught CCS-P exam preparation skills, interventional radiology, and physician education on documentation requirements and assignment of E&M levels. York co-authored Libman Education’s previous ICD-9-based CCA Exam Review course. She is a Senior Associate with Barry Libman Inc.
