AAPC: The AAPC, previously known as the American Academy of Professional Coders, offers medical coding certification, textbooks and events for health care administrators. AAPC offers certification exams in various areas, such as medical coding, medical billing, medical auditing, medical documentation and...
and how they apply to medical settings. You might work with medical coding software and other computer skills. You’ll likely need a GED or high school diploma to enter one of these programs. Some of the courses you might study include...

The relation between the spread and the extent of the space 𝖲𝖯𝟤(ℝ,𝜏(𝐴))SP2(R,τ(A)) of permutation degree of the Hattori space is discussed. In particular, it is shown that the space 𝖲𝖯𝟤(ℝ,𝜏𝑆)SP2(R,τS) contains a closed discrete subset of ...
Using the roll-out of an auditing program as a natural experiment, I find that there is evidence to suggest upcoding by hospitals, particularly by for-profit hospitals. Finally, in the third essay of my dissertation, I examine the phenomenon of abandonment of EMR systems and find that the ...
Fixed point theory is a very active branch of mathematics, and plays a circular role in nonlinear analysis, since it is used for establishing the existence of solutions for many nonlinear problems arising in differential equations and inclusions in physics, economics, mechanics, and biology [1,2,...
Next, the coders participated in a focus group led by a Health Information Management(HIM) expert in the field of HIM regulatory compliance, auditing and reimbursemen tmethodologies. The analysis of discussion on the sources of coding variability indicated that the coders valued experience more than...
Neighbor distinguishing colorings of graphs represent powerful tools for solving the channel assignment problem in wireless communication networks. They consist of two forms of coloring: neighbor distinguishing edge coloring, and neighbor distinguishing total coloring. The neighbor distinguishing edge (total)...
The classical finite element method and the difference method cannot provide an acceptable order of convergence rate of an approximate solution to an exact solution of a problem with a singularity [2,3]. The presence of a singularity leads to a loss in the accuracy of the numerical method. Ef...
(1) similar work in dissimilar nursing homes to see whether results hold, (2) closer examination of staffing variability, (3) quantitative work on impacts of education and auditing on documentation-related attitudes, and (4) strategies to improve attitudes for quality improvement that does not ...
