Title: Competency Assessment: (U2 M4) Chronic Disease Guidelines
Course: SkillsCom CMA 200 15.0 > Section: Unit 2 Module 4

Having a thorough understanding of the different types of chronic disease will help you understand the procedures, medications, provider visits, radiology and lab orders, and associated costs that get coded.

Healthcare providers should have a set of guidelines established as they see and treat these patients with chronic disease.  The guidelines help to establish the level of care and the amount of required medical intervention for maintenance, preventive care, and treatment.

In this Competency Assessment, you are going to be asked to create some guidelines so that you can gain a better understanding of chronic disease.  This, in turn, will assist you in your job responsibilities as a Coder and Reimbursement Specialist.

Complete and then submit the Chronic Disease Project.
