HCC Coding
by Karen Ca, CPC, CCS, CRC - Any thoughts on HCC Coding as a follow-up course after I have completed the Medical Coding courses.

by Lauren H, CPC-A, CCS - Hi Karen,
I have been considering this as well. I looked into a little bit, but kind of put it on the back burner until I finish with Andrews and take my CCS exam. I think that it is a growing job trend and will continue to be, as long as Medicare's Meaningful Use has a strong presence, which it will for the unforeseeable future. I think that any "specialty" that we are willing to learn will only help us grow and become as marketable as possible.
Let me know if you look into it further and what you find out. I will do the same, but just have to buckle down and get through the end of Module IV for the time being. Good luck!
Lauren
