    Provides an in depth review of ICD-9-CM coding guidelines and procedures with an emphasis on the diseases and conditions covered in the reference manual. A deeper understanding of the anatomy and pathophysiology involved will enhance the proficiency in ICD-9-CM coding and the ability to differentiate diagnosis/condition codes and coding levels associated with specific diseases and various aspects of the disease process. The first half of ICD-9-CM for Physicians-Volumes 1 & 2 will be covered in the course. Prerequisite/Restriction: BHIS 1010 and BHIS 1015 and BHIS 1020 and BHIS 1025 or instructor permission
