Lehi, UT, March 03, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Career Step, an online provider of career-focused education and professional training, provides the only online Inpatient Auditing program designed to transition medical coders into inpatient auditors and prepare students to become Certified Inpatient Coding Auditor (CICA) credentialed.
“We are thrilled that our inpatient auditing learners can now obtain the Certified Inpatient Coding Auditor (CICA) certification,” said Laurie McBrierty, Career Step and Panacea Vice President of Product Management. “Certification gives employers confidence that inpatient auditors meet a certain set of standards. We have focused our efforts to guarantee that our program delivers new skills that will transform inpatient coders to inpatient auditors.”
The CICA certification, developed by the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA), validates and acknowledges the skills and expertise of professionals and provides an industry standard for employers as they look to hire inpatient auditors.
“In light of changing payment models and increases in regulatory audits and reporting requirements, ensuring coding accuracy is more important than ever,” said HFMA President and CEO Joseph J. Fifer, FHFMA, CPA. “This certification enables both coders and hiring organizations to gain confidence in their coding oversight capabilities.”
Career Step’s Inpatient Auditing program was developed in conjunction with large healthcare organizations.
