Patient Privacy & Health Information
Patient Privacy & Health Information
Patient information is one of the most sensitive forms of data in healthcare. Protecting that information is not only a legal responsibility—it is also essential to maintaining patient trust and delivering ethical, professional care.
In this section, we will explore HIPAA, patient privacy, health information security, PHI and ePHI, breach notification, patient rights, and the proper handling of protected health information.
Accurate coding and billing are fundamental to healthcare compliance and Revenue Cycle Management (RCM).
Medical billing connects clinical services to financial reimbursement.
Medical Billing & RCM Professional Terminology
Medical Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) involves a specialized language used by healthcare providers, billing teams, coders, insurance companies, patients, and other healthcare professionals. Understanding this terminology is essential for accurately processing claims, interpreting payer responses, managing accounts receivable, resolving denials, and communicating effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
Medical Coding Fundamentals
Medical coding is an essential part of the healthcare and revenue cycle process. It involves translating diagnoses, medical conditions, healthcare services, procedures, supplies, and other reportable information into standardized codes.
In this learning path, you will explore the fundamentals of ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II, understand how codes are selected based on documentation, and learn how coding connects to claims, reimbursement, and Revenue Cycle Management.
