In the ever-evolving world of healthcare documentation, specialization is the key to standing out. Cigma Medical Coding, India’s first AAPC-licensed academy and a pioneer in healthcare training, is proud to launch its newest short-term specialization: Fellowship in Surgery Coding (FIMC-Surgery) – a 10-day online training program exclusively for certified medical coders.

If you are a certified coder aiming to explore high-value domains, sharpen your skills, and step into remote opportunities, this course is tailored just for you.

Why Surgical Coding?

Surgical coding is one of the most complex, detail-driven, and high-paying branches in the medical coding landscape. It involves assigning accurate codes to various surgical procedures using CPT®, ICD-10-CM, and HCPCS coding systems. The stakes are high: any errors in surgical coding can lead to claim denials, revenue loss, or even compliance issues for healthcare providers.

That’s why skilled surgical coders are always in demand.

Whether it’s orthopedic surgeries, cardiovascular procedures, or general surgery, coders must understand medical terminology, anatomy, procedure techniques, and payer guidelines to ensure accurate documentation and billing. This makes surgical coding not only a lucrative path but also a highly respected niche within the coding community.

Introducing: Fellowship in Surgery Coding (FIMC-Surgery)

The Fellowship in Surgery Coding by Cigma is designed to equip certified coders with in-depth expertise in surgical coding. It combines theoretical knowledge, real-world case studies, and hands-on training to help participants confidently code complex surgical procedures across specialties.

• Course Name: Fellowship in Surgery Coding (FIMC-Surgery)
• Duration: 10 Days
• Mode of Training: 100% Online
