Important Update: The ICD-10 Certification Preparatory course is updated for 2023. This course was formerly known as the BCHH-C prep course. Upon this review cycle, the SME committee noted the course has expanded benefits in ICD-10 credentialing preparation, hence the name change. Applicability to ICD-10 credentials focused on home health is implied.

You have one year from your date of purchase to complete the course and schedule your exam.

Our mission is to enhance the competency of home health and hospice professional staff coders. We do this by providing certification programs that respond to the unique skills needed by the home health and hospice professionals to improve patient care by promoting excellence in the home health and hospice industry. We do this through national programs that are recognized as the hallmark of quality.
Please Note: It is the responsibility of the certification candidate to take the required preparatory steps to sit for the expert level certification exam. Educational preparation through WellSky is not required prior to taking the exam and a pass/ fail of the certification exam is not solely linked to WellSky OASIS education. We recommend experience and working knowledge of OASIS along with educational preparation prior to attempting the exam. Although we will work with all candidates to provide the best possible learning experience, environment, and opportunity to advance his/ her career through obtaining the distinguished certification, meeting the level of expertise required is solely the responsibility of the candidate.
