About Introduction to Medical Coding (i2MC) Comprehensive

Part ONE of the AMCI Professional Coding Course on  is your essential starting point in the journey toward becoming a certified medical coder. This foundational course introduces all three major code sets:  ICD-10-CM, CPT, and HCPCS Level II.  While providing thorough instruction on general ICD-10-CM guidelines and specific CPT coding principles. Designed as a basic instructional course, Part ONE lays the groundwork for coding comprehension and is highly recommended before moving into the more advanced Parts TWO (Advanced ICD-10-CM) and THREE (Advanced CPT/HCPCS). While some students may choose to begin exam prep after completing this course, AMCI strongly encourages continued study to solidify guideline knowledge and boost real-world coding confidence and certification success.
