Frequently asked questions

How is this course structured?

This course is designed to be completed in a chapter by chapter format. Learners will work through the official AAPC curriculum and then watch the corresponding McDE chapter breakdown video to reinforce key concepts, hear real world examples, and better understand how the material applies in provider education and documentation improvement settings. After each chapter session, learners can complete a post session quiz to earn CEUs and track their progress through the course.

Who is this course designed for?

This course is ideal for professionals preparing for the CDEO exam who want a complete and structured program. It is especially helpful for CDI specialists, medical coders moving into provider education roles, compliance and audit professionals, and anyone who prefers guided instruction rather than preparing entirely on their own.
