|| Novel Training for Medical Administration Certification Exams
|
Mission To provide cost effective self-training materials and tools for those who wish to prepare for select medical administrative certification exams or to just learn more in the knowledge domains of medical coding, auditing, analytics or project management. History In 2006, the Medical Coding Preparatory® was conceptualized by Madeline and Micheal Meyer. From 2007-2009 the authors, wrote the 3 tiers of the Medical Coding Preparatory® eBooks. The training consists of, Tier I: Basic Medical Coding Prep (Physician/Outpatient), Tier II: Advanced Coding Prep and (Facility/Inpatient) and Tier III: Auditor, Analyst Prep (Outpatient/Inpatient). The concepts are multi-focused. First, the authors wanted to provide cost effective continuing education and training to assist professionals with obtaining their billing, coding, auditing, medical manager or other related certifications. Second, the program was designed with many "keys” to help make these complex subjects easier to learn. Third, it was designed to create tiers of materials that allow for upward mobility of learning and logical advancement in health information, accounts receivable maintenance and healthcare administration career paths. Finally, to create materials that may be delivered in an online classroom setting, or through live webinars or self-study eBooks. The materials have been successfully used and proven since 2007 by educational institutions and have trained hundreds of now certified allied and clinical healthcare professionals. The training materials are updated annually, and are one of the most cost effective and proven preps on the market today. Drs. Mike and Madeline Meyer, Authors/Trainers |
