Build Real-World Coding Skill
Core Skills is where foundational knowledge turns into consistent, accurate coding. This level focuses on application, decision-making, and confidence in everyday scenarios.
What You Develop at This Level
You stop memorizing rules and start applying them. Core Skills trains you to recognize patterns, validate documentation, and code with intention — not guesswork.
Documentation Analysis
Identify what actually supports code selection and what does not.
Code Selection Logic
Choose codes based on structure, hierarchy, and payer logic.
Modifier Confidence
Understand when modifiers apply — and when they don’t.
Error Recognition
Catch common mistakes before they reach billing or audit.
Scenario-Based Coding
Work through realistic cases that mirror real workflows.
Consistency & Accuracy
Build repeatable habits that lead to reliable results.
Who Core Skills Is For
This level is designed for learners who understand the basics and are ready to code with clarity, structure, and professional confidence.
Why Core Skills Matters
Most coding errors don’t come from lack of knowledge — they come from weak application. Core Skills bridges that gap by teaching how to think, not just what to remember.
After Core Skills, learners advance into deeper specialty logic, complex scenarios, and professional-level decision making.
