ONS Connect - December 2008 - (Page 26) The Keys to Successful Coding Is reimbursement coding a part of your daily responsibility? Do you worry that you might be coding improperly? Do you find the complexities and rules overwhelming, confusing, or just difficult to understand? How do you feel about your reimbursement coding responsibilities? ONS now offers a unique, challenging, and fun way to assure that you can feel confident in this important nursing responsibility as well. The ONS Reimbursement for Nurses: The Keys to Successful Coding webcourse provides staff nurses with an opportunity to refine these skills using typical oncology care scenarios, and also to understand the underpinnings of our reimbursement structure in the United States. Although drugs are often coded by the pharmacy in a hospital or clinic setting, it is critical for nurses to accurately document and code for the administration services provided. Although designed primarily for office-based staff nurses, Reimbursement for Nurses: The Keys to Successful Coding offers a wealth of information useful to hospital based outpatient nurses, or anyone involved in the proper coding of administration practices. This self-paced continuing nursing education opportunity will guide you through a thorough understanding of Medicare reimbursement, the standard by which most reimbursement structures are based, and many other accurate coding and reimbursement practices. It will help you to understand billing units, practice scenarios, and you get immediate feedback in the activities. You’ll meet patients, interpret orders, and make coding selections based upon the knowledge you gain from the course.
