We will begin using training indicators to help you determine this. Examples of what training indicators represent:

  • Benefit categories
  • Clinical and documentation education
  • Billing types
  • Topics

View our Training Indicators webpage for a full list of indicators.



New! YouTube Chapters

YouTube chapters break a video into sections and add markers in the description. Moving forward, we are adding this feature to our YouTube videos. Why are we doing this? You asked for it.

You asked for smaller more digestible sections in our YouTube videos, giving you the ability to easily locate information when viewing a video.
