Principles of Coding Course – Save 20% with MRCS20 on PMI Live Training


Accurate medical coding is the backbone of a healthy revenue cycle. Even small misunderstandings in ICD-10-CM, CPT®, E/M, or HCPCS guidelines can lead to claim denials, compliance risks, and lost reimbursement. Building a strong foundation in coding principles is essential for anyone involved in outpatient billing and coding.


MRCS is pleased to share an upcoming continuing education opportunity from our partner, Practice Management Institute (PMI) — the Principles of Coding live online course.
