eLearning Course Descriptions and Pricing

While ZHealth Publishing's collection of medical coding eLearning courses include sixteen courses that focus on our core coding areas of interventional radiology, cardiology, and vascular surgery, we also have additional CPT and ICD-9 coding topics as well. You can earn CEU credits at your convenience and your pace online. All courses offer CEUs for a specific accreditation organizations (AAPC, ASRT, or AHIMA).

Below is a list of each eLearning course that we offer and the CEUs available from the associated accreditation organizations.
