Course Description: This course is intended for revenue cycle staff with responsibilities in patient access, billing, account resolution, denial management, collections, cash posting, customer service, and self-pay collections. The course focuses on knowledge required in revenue cycle functional areas including registration (front desk), billing, and credit and collections.

Duration: 25 hours total = 9 hours employability skills + 12 hours core content + 4 hours study skills

Curriculum Pluses: The course is laid out well in Moodle and includes a syllabus, pre-assessment, unit objectives, PowerPoints and videos, and knowledge checks. Some of the material can be used in an independent study.

Curriculum Drawbacks:  Curriculum is located in the Moodle course and requires an “enrollment key” to access.  To gain access, request an administrator account from Literacy Minnesota in order to create a class with this course that will enable you to track students.  Then, an enrollment key will be issued for your class.  Students may need some training on how to access the course in Moodle and move through the modules.
