About this course
This is the final stage of the Ucanly Medical Coding and Healthcare Documentation track, where coders become auditors, educators, and compliance leaders. Built for practitioners with hands on experience coding specialty inpatient and outpatient records with certification level accuracy, this program goes deep into professional audit methodology with statistical sampling using RAT STATS, advanced auditing across E and M, surgical, inpatient DRG, and HCC risk adjustment coding, and building a complete compliance program covering the OIG Work Plan, False Claims Act, and Stark Law. You will build revenue integrity and financial analytics skills, lead clinical documentation integrity programs with physician engagement strategy, and govern AI in coding operations, including auditing AI generated codes and writing AI tool governance policy. You will also build coder education programs and operations leadership skills. All practice records used in this program are simulated or fully de identified, and this program teaches compliant, ethical coding, auditing, and documentation practice only. You will graduate having led a complete coding audit and compliance program for a simulated healthcare organisation, including statistical sampling, audit findings, financial risk quantification, an education plan, an AI tool governance policy, and an executive level briefing.
