Libman Education Announces New Program: Fundamentals of Inpatient Auditing

BEDFORD, Mass. - Aug. 7, 2019 - PRLog -- Libman Education has been designated an authorized re-seller for CareerStep's Fundamentals of Inpatient Auditing -- a program designed to help medical coders advance their careers and earn an industry-recognized auditing credential while addressing industry demand for skilled auditors in the inpatient setting.

Fundamentals of Inpatient Auditing builds on the coder's current command of inpatient coding to quickly gain the knowledge and skills needed to assume responsibilities as an inpatient auditor.  Students who successfully complete the program may choose to sit for the Certified Inpatient Coding Auditor (CICA) certification available from the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA).

"We are excited to be designated an authorized reseller for CareerStep and to offer this program of training to address a critical need for skilled inpatient auditors," said Susan Pepple, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Libman Education. "Many inpatient coders are looking to grow their skills and advance their careers, but may not know where to begin. Providing career growth is fundamental to Libman Education.  Partnering with CareerStep provides a unique opportunity to utilize the resources of a recognized education provider."

Fundamentals of Inpatient Auditing provides real world skills in demand by employers. Changes in coding systems, medical insurance and reimbursement as well as improved technology are leading to an increased demand by hospitals and healthcare networks as well as insurers and other auditors, for staff with advanced skills in inpatient auditing to validate coding, comply with regulations, and analyze clinical documentation.  Written in collaboration with major medical employers, Fundamentals of Inpatient Auditing builds on the individual student's experience as an inpatient coder to help advance their career in this growing area.

"Auditing is one of the top five skills recommended by AHIMA for HIM professionals, and becoming an inpatient auditor is an excellent next career step for inpatient coders," said Derris T. Moore, General Manager & Senior Vice President of E-Learning at CareerStep. "We welcome this reseller relationship with Libman Education as an opportunity to marry our content with Libman Education's considerable reach among currently employed coders to provide critical training necessary for these coders' career advancement."
