Does the course require any previous experience or training?
No. However, because of the fast-paced nature of the course, it is highly recommended (but not required)
that participants have at least one year of experience working in a long-term care setting. However, the
course starts with Medicare fundamentals and does not assume that participants have any particular
background or experience. Familiarity with the MDS and the ICD-9-CM and HCPCS coding systems is helpful,
but not required.
How is the course taught?
The course is taught using a combination of lecture, class discussion, and hands-on exercises/case
studies.
What do I need to bring to class?
When you arrive at class, you will receive an extensive notebook of course materials. These binders
will contain all the materials needed for the training. Please ensure room in your luggage for the
return trip home.
Does HCPRO ever share contact information (e.g., name, address, phone number, email address, etc.) with other companies?

is possible that at some point we might share contact information with other companies that offer products
