Start your journey with Edoxi’s Online IP DRG Coding Course today.
You practise DRG assignment using actual inpatient scenarios to sharpen your coding accuracy.
You understand how the industry-standard 3M grouper tool works in real coding environments.
You learn the differences between Dubai and Abu Dhabi DRG systems to stay job-ready for both regions and beyond.
You follow Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set guidelines and apply them to inpatient records accurately.
You master CMI calculation and use it to analyse case complexity and its impact on reimbursement.
You identify gaps in documentation that affect DRG accuracy and help support better hospital revenue.
If you work in medical coding, you strengthen your expertise by mastering inpatient DRG-based coding and open up new global career opportunities.
You improve billing accuracy and streamline revenue cycles by understanding how DRG payment systems operate.
If you process inpatient claims, you learn to manage DRG-based reimbursements correctly and reduce claim rejections.
You gain insights into how DRG impacts hospital revenue and use coding knowledge to improve compliance and financial outcomes.
If you're involved in audits or regulatory checks, you develop the skills to verify DRG accuracy and support compliance.
You understand how DRG grouping influences clinical data, which helps you analyse hospital performance and resource use effectively.
You gain hands-on experience by working on real-world clinical cases throughout your IP DRG training. These guided projects help you apply your knowledge in realistic inpatient coding scenarios and prepare you for real hospital settings.
You review three complete inpatient discharge records and assign accurate DRGs using ICD-10-CM/PCS codes. You identify principal and secondary diagnoses, capture MCCs/CCs, and apply Present on Admission (POA) indicators to support DRG grouping accuracy.
You perform a mock secondary review on a coded inpatient case to find documentation gaps, DRG mismatches, or incorrect POA flagging. This exercise builds your skills in compliance review and prepares you for real-world audits or pre-bill coding checks.
You calculate DRG-based payments for two patient scenarios using actual DRG weights and hospital base rates. You also compute and interpret the Case Mix Index (CMI) to understand financial impact and case complexity across hospitals.
You examine a case involving hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) and POA reporting to evaluate compliance with UHDDS documentation standards. You decide whether conditions meet reporting criteria and explore their effect on final DRG assignment.
You analyse the same inpatient chart using both Dubai and Abu Dhabi DRG systems. This comparative study helps you understand regional coding variations and prepares you to work in both healthcare systems confidently.
If you're a healthcare professional aiming to advance your career in medical coding or revenue cycle management, Edoxi’s IP DRG Coding Course equips you with the specialised skills, compliance knowledge, and hands-on practice to thrive in global healthcare systems.
