Please note that MEAC Certification for this course will expire on 2/1/21. 

You will need to complete the course and pass the post-test by 1/31/21. 

Those who pass the post-test on or after 2/1/21 will be provided with a HiveCE Certificate for 2 hours of CE.



Over 750 students took the original version of this course. 

With changes to ICD-10 since the original course was created in 2015, we decided it was time for an updated and expanded second edition! 


Update for 2020: 

There are not enough changes to warrant a new edition this year, but we have added the new information for 2020 into this course as Bonus Sections.



ICD-10 was the first full replacement of medical diagnosis coding in 30 years, has 160,000 codes. This was a huge increase from the 17,000 codes of ICD-9. This increase in codes also meant an increase in details on how to correctly assign ICD codes.

This second edition has been updated and expanded, and will give you the midwifery-specific basics regarding ICD-10, so that you can code accurately and properly.

This course has been approved by MEAC for 2 hours of continuing education. The approval number for this course is M1819-35-0222DE , and this approval is current through February 1, 2021.
