Description
This ICD-10-CM course Injury, Poisoning, and Other External Causes (Trauma), presents an overview of codes that report accidents, assaults, and other external causes of injuries and illness. This course covers VWXY codes, the structure and format of Chapter 20 codes, and the opportunity to apply these codes to case scenarios.
Objectives:
Lesson 1: Medical Terminology and Anatomy
- Differentiate between body planes
- Identify the different parts of a long bone
- Identify certain fractures as open vs. closed or displaced vs. nondisplaced
Lesson 2: General Code Format and Conventions
- Select the 7th character of episode of care for individual case scenarios
- Assign the first character of codes for injuries of specific body parts
Lesson 3: ICD-10-CM Coding for Trauma
- Apply category-specific seventh character extensions to fracture codes
- Differentiate between burns and corrosions in the ICD-10-CM classification
Lesson 4: Poisonings, Adverse Effects, and Underdosings
- Identify whether a patient had a poisoning, adverse effect, or underdosing based on the sixth character
- Describe when an underdosing code is used

engaging
Great and easy to follow
Great course with very helpful information and assistance of the OCG.
Love the New to 2025 information that was easy to find.
The course focused more on anatomy than coding that I had expected
Great refresher.
Thank you for the helpful education
A PDF code book attached to the software would be great
GOOD
This course was very useful and explained everything well.
This course provided information never before explained in any other courses I have taken in the past.
