A 4-week or 10-week online risk adjustment production practicum, in a simulated coding environment with our coding leadership to prepare novice coders on the day to day tasks associated with MRA peak season. Students are provided with similar tools and resources they should expect in a HCC project, i.e. project guidelines, coding portal and encoder. Our coding leadership monitors and manages production and quality by providing weekly one on one feedback with coders to ensure coders are prepared to transition into any risk adjustment coding environment post the course. HCC Mock Project is a pre-requisite for all risk adjustment coding apprenticeships with OS2 Healthcare Solutions. To be eligible for consideration for an apprentice roles coders must complete 150 charts and have an overall quality score of 90% at the end of the course in 10-weeks. For the 4-week course, coders must complete 50 charts and have an overall quality score of 90% at the end. Additional requirements for apprenticeship candidates include having full-time available and two year commit for the Apprenticeship Program, as well as, earning your CRC certification.
Scot has been involved with IT systems for 20 years and risk adjustment coding for the past 3 years. He enjoys designing and maintaining systems that help coders learn and be more efficient in their work, as well as, training for and managing risk adjustment projects.
He is a US Army Veteran, husband, father of 3 children, and Rock Star. He calls Alabama home sweet home.

Are you in the process of earning your certification and not able to join us this year? Have you missed the deadline for HCC Basics and would like to be notified when we begin enrolling next year? Sign up on our waitlist to be contacted when we start registration for next year. In the meantime, consider enrolling in our CRC bootcamp in August to earn your CRC pre-requisite.
Course Wait ListYes, you may take the course the following year. OS2U may also suggest other options to be prepared.
Yes, as long as you meet the requirements for the apprenticeship program
During the 10-weeks of HCC Mock Project practicum, coder will learn and get hands on experience in Risk Adjsutment. It will not be until after the completion of training and meeting the apprenticeship requirements that coders would begin working with OS2HCS. For more information, check out our website https://os2u.org/programs/practicums/
Yes, it does.The HCC Mock Project provides students with hands on experience in Risk Adjustment. While the CRC Bootcamp prepares students to sit for their exam with confidence.
Coders who apply for the apprenticeship may be certified in other areas besides Risk Adjustment. Risk Adjustment coding methodologies are different than other certification types. OS2 Healthcare Solutions is fortunate to partner with clients that accept novice coders, as long as OS2 can guarantee certain performance metrics are met in the apprentice. Therefore, to developed we created a simulated coding training environment to prepare novice coders to meet the coding expectation of our clients.
In the event that you do not pass the HCC Mock Project with a QA score of 90% or higher you will not be offered an apprenticeship with OS2 Healthcare Solutions for the current calendar year. We will invite you to join us the following year for HCC Basics for an ICD-10 diagnostic guideline and refresher course, and to repeat the HCC Mock Project.
Student only status are coders who enroll into an OS2U course to gain hands on experience and learn new skills, and do not express interest in the OS2 Apprenticeship Program.
We like to think of ourselves as modest and don’t like to toot our own horn. We will let our coders do it for us!
The instructor does a great job of making complex course material interesting and comprehensible for students. The 150 chart requirement along with the timed coding exercises implemented in the final weeks of the course were very helpful in creating real-world scenarios for learning purposes.

I think the course was great, and I love the fact that you have reinforcement material from the AAPC modules.

They are all very helpful to answer any question. Doing 150 real-life charts were helpful. And good part in understanding concepts of risk adjustment coding.

Overall this course helped us how to review a chart, analyses and pick the appropriate codes. Also gave the students a wide knowledge of Risk Adjustment Coding. Thanks to the Instructor. Greatly appreciate the entire team.

Scot is excellent at explaining the Risk Adjustment coding process. The class was excellent and I really enjoyed the format.

OS2 has been a phenomenal blessing in my life. I began with an invitation to join their Preseason Risk Adjustment Training in the Spring of 2018. I have been employed with them as a remote HCC/CCC coder since shortly after that, & have loved it! Recently, I was able to participate in their CRC & COC Bootcamps. I took, & passed, my CRC credentialing exam on the first attempt, thanks to the Bootcamp, excellent instructors, mentors, & fellow coders at OS2, who are all so supportive of each other. This company is just amazing, & I am so very thankful to be a part of the OS2 family! Thanx OS2!

This is the best training course I have had the pleasure of attending. The others I've taken prepared me to pass a test, this one prepared me to succeed on the job.

Great Class leader and very encouraging. Expectations clearly communicated. Very knowledgeable of the topic.

The instructor was more than willing to spend as much time as needed to answer questions. He explained them in easy to understand language and went above and beyond, taking extra unplanned time on a weekend to provide a quick tutorial on combo coding diabetes and hypertension. What I learned in preseason more than prepared me to take the CRC certification exam.
