Three-month Med. Coding program

[Medical Coding Postions and Careers <jackie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's true that Med. coding is something that can work out well for many. Codes with three characters are included in ICD-10-CM as the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of any or all of the 4th, 5th, and 6th characters. Digits 4-6 provide greater detail of etiology, anatomical site, and severity. A code using only the first three digits is to be used only if it is not further subdivided.
