Subject outline
The first focus of this subject is the development of higher level classificatory skills to a level of competency that qualifies students professionally as workforce entry-level clinical/medical coders. Students gain proficiency in the application of relevant health classificatory software and auditing support tools. The second focus is on the health classification-financial relationship, including co-payments, the applications of Activity Based Funding, and state/territory specific casemix-based measures such as Weighted Inlier Equivalent Separations and related clinical coding-funding dependencies. Students will have some exposure to funding guidelines relevant to their geographic (state, territory, country) location.
