The CDI Boot Camp is a two week online educational experience that focuses on MS–DRGs and reimbursement under the IPPS; ICD–9–CM coding rules and regulations; medical record review and physician query techniques; and CDI program benchmarking and compliance initiatives. Conducted in a classroom setting, CDI specialists will learn the basic skills necessary for success in the profession.
