4.00 Credits
This course involves the study of calculus through business, economic, and social applications. Successful students acquire knowledge and develop skills that enable them to apply unique modeling approaches to the material throughout the course. This course is non-algebraic in nature, and the development of the conceptual understanding of calculus is data driven and technology based. A specific calculator is required for this course. See a math instructor for acceptable models. Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 1400 or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
This course involves the study of equations and systems of equations, linear programming, matrices, the mathematics of finance, set theory, probability, and statistics. Successful students acquire knowledge about and develop skills in solving linear equations and least square regression, matrices, linear programming, finance (including simple and compound interest, inflation and population growth, annuities, and amortization), sets and counting problems, probability and statistics, and other selected topics. A specific calculator is required for this course. See a math instructor for acceptable models. Prerequisites: Completion of and MATH 1400 or equivalent.
-
2.00 Credits
This course serves as an introduction for mathematics majors and minors to mathematical investigation and discovery. Successful students demonstrate knowledge of mathematical language; acquire and develop skills to construct and evaluate mathematical conjectures and argument; explain mathematical reasoning through the writing of formal proofs; and apply results to develop further mathematical concepts. Prerequisite: Completion of or concurrent enrollment in MATH 2205.

3.00 Credits
Students are introduced to the basic coding guidelines using Volumes 1, 2, and 3 of the ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases) coding classification system. Students practice the application of diagnosis codes, linking them to procedural codes and focusing on accuracy and the clinical information found in the medical record. Ethical coding standards are applied and promoted while students focus on current regulations and guidelines of the National Correct Coding Initiative. Students also examine ICD-10 codes and are given practical applications of how to link ICD-9 and ICD-10.
-
2.00 Credits
Students continue to sharpen the skills and knowledge introduced in Basic Diagnostic Coding by practicing higher-level case scenarios. Students analyze primary and secondary diagnoses and how they relate to reimbursement. Students study and apply modifiers, V codes, and E codes following the current guidelines and regulations. ICD-10 conventions are explored in more depth, and students must be able to apply both ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes proficiently. Students evaluate ethics in relation to fraud and incorrect coding. Prerequisite: Completion of MEDC 1500.
-
3.00 Credits
Students are introduced to the basic coding guidelines of the Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) nomenclature. Students practice the application of CPT/HCPCS codes validating coding accuracy using clinical information found in the medical record. Students gain a fundamental understanding of the general steps in coding and apply the guidelines of the National Correct Coding Initiative.
-
2.00 Credits
Students build on the base knowledge learned from Basic CPT Coding. Students link CPT codes and ICD codes using examples from medical records. Analyzing dictation reports, students follow the guidelines for reporting secondary procedures and diagnosis codes. Students add the knowledge of using modifiers and HCPCS codes. Students also review the current regulations as related to coding compliance and discuss major coding errors including fraud. Prerequisite: Completion of MEDC 1600.
-
4.00 Credits
Students build on the base knowledge learned from the Basic Diagnosis Coding and Basic CPT Coding courses. Student link CPT codes and ICD codes using examples from medical records. Analyzing both inpatient and outpatient records, students follow the guidelines for reporting codes for procedures, diagnosis, and ancillary services. Students review the current regulations related to coding compliance and evaluate ethics in relation to fraud and incorrect coding. Prerequisite: Completion of MEDC 1500 and MEDC 1600.
-
3.00 Credits
Students explore health care billing and reimbursement. Students examine the basics of medical insurance and track claims from patient registration through collections, identifying "missing" information and using process principles to avoid gathering incorrect information. Students review claim payments for accuracy and examine the appeals process. Students review the Fair Debt Collection Act and apply the principles of the Act through the accounts receivable process. Prerequisite: Completion of HIT 1550.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the study of common disease processes and the drugs used in their treatment. Students study the description of conditions and diseases of the organ systems including etiology, signs and symptoms, and methods of diagnosis and treatment. Students identify disease entities and describe appropriate diagnostic and treatment modalities. Students examine the action of drugs, including the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of drugs by the body. Prerequisite: Completion of or concurrent enrollment in HLTK 1210.
