eLearning Medical Coding Courses

Written by Dr. Z and his team of medical coding experts, these online self-study coding courses are in-depth and unique education modules that you're not apt to find elsewhere online. They are easy to understand and affordably priced. All ZHealth Publishing eLearning coding courses are completely new in 2010.

Take an eLearning course at your leisure to improve your coding skills and earn your continuing education credits (CEUs) whenever you need them – from one to three CEUs per course. All courses are approved by at least one of the following three acrediting organizations: AAPC, AHIMA, and ASRT.

Interventional radiology, cardiology, and vascular surgery coding courses…and more!

Earn CEUs at your convenience - online - at a bargain price. While several of the courses focus on ZHealth Publishing’s core coding areas of interventional radiology, cardiology, and vascular surgery, there are other CPT and ICD-9 coding topics that are available for purchase as well.
