The Affordable Care Act is bringing much change and opportunity to health plans, providers, and patients. Along with those changes comes the need for additional IT support.
To help IT professionals move into health insurance smoothly, and to update the knowledge of those already working in health care, we've created the AHIP IT Series. It includes mobile-friendly courses, webinars, workshops, and more, all leading toward two professional designations. And because it is flexible, it fits into busy schedules.
How It Works
Participants in the program earn credits toward two IT professional designations -- Information Technology Professional (ITP) and Information Technology Fellow (ITF).
 Information Technology Professional
Earn the ITP designation by passing four online, mobile-friendly courses, which provide you with the basic knowledge required to thrive in the health care technology field:
- ICD-10 and 5010 Mandate - A Technology View
This course covers the basic understanding of ICD-10 code sets, ICD-9 to ICD-10 conversions, plus coding diagnoses and inpatient hospital procedures.
-
Overview of Payer IT, Part A (available in April)
In this course, you'll learn about customer facing systems, such as self-service portals, call center IVR, intake systems, and more. Plus, the curriculum covers core payer systems, including membership enrollment, billing, benefits management, and more.
-
Overview of Payer IT, Part B (available this Spring)
Take this course to learn about supporting systems; such as medical management, health and wellness programs, product development, and core administration systems; plus technology infrastructure, including security and risk management, network management, portfolio and project management, and more.
- Health Insurance 101 for IT (available this Spring)
 Information Technology Fellow
By earning and maintaining the ITF designation, you will be kept informed of the latest IT needs, innovations, theories, market trends, and more. Acquire 50 credits within two years to initially gain the ITF; earn 20 additional credits every subsequent two year period to maintain the designation.
