Forensic Coding Specialist Course
Move beyond finding coding errors. Build the skills to investigate patterns that may signal healthcare fraud.
For coders, auditors and compliance professionals ready to explore forensic investigation, this course connects documentation and coding knowledge with evidence handling, data analysis and investigative decision-making.
Before you join as a founding student
Bring a strong foundationMedical auditing, compliance or equivalent experience is recommended, not required. A working knowledge of coding and clinical documentation will help you engage with this advanced material.
Be comfortable with the rolloutThis is a founding-student enrollment in a course still being built. If you need every lesson immediately or have a fixed exam deadline, check current availability before enrolling.
Plan for separate costsYou will need a current ICD-10-CM manual and any additional required texts. Professional certification registration and exam fees are separate.
Your early enrollment helps build the course.
This is more than a launch-day sale on a finished product. Founding students help fund course development and lesson production. In return, the first 50 founding students receive 50% off the standard price.
Your tuition funds development
Early enrollment supports the work of turning the course roadmap into a complete learning experience.
Lessons arrive progressively
Your one-time founding-student enrollment includes lifetime access to the entire course, including every module as it is released and the completed course. We expect to release one module every 5–10 business days. You can start learning as soon as lessons are released and continue as new modules are added. We are not committing to an overall completion date.
Pay half the standard price
Founding tuition is $723.50 instead of $1,447. This offer is limited to the first 50 founding-student enrollments.
Recognize when an audit needs an investigative approach.
Build a forensic approach
- Distinguish a coding or documentation issue from a pattern requiring further investigation.
- Organize evidence and understand the importance of a defensible chain of custody.
- Explore data-mining approaches to billing and coding patterns.
- Understand SIU coordination, referral and the role of counsel.
- Prepare to communicate findings clearly and support a mock investigation.
Built for the next stage of your learning
This is advanced study for coders, medical auditors, compliance professionals and analysts. It is not a replacement for foundational medical coding training.
If you need to strengthen your auditing foundation first, explore the Medical Auditing Course. It has its own founding-student rollout and separate enrollment.
Know what you are joining.
Founding enrollment includes lifetime access to the entire course described in the roadmap. You can begin with released lessons, gain access to each new module as it is published, and retain access to the completed course.
Forensic course lessons
We expect to release one module every 5–10 business days, without committing to an overall completion date. Start as soon as lessons are released and study online at your own pace. Ask what is available now before enrolling if timing matters.
Resources and learning support
The full-payment offer includes BHAT™ Cave resources, enhanced BHAT files and group support through calls and discussion forums. These resources do not mean that the complete lesson library is already available.
Practice and a capstone
The roadmap includes practice cases, module quizzes and a mock forensic investigation capstone. A course-completion certificate is planned; it is not an automatic professional certification.
Lifetime course access
The founding offer includes lifetime access to the entire course: released lessons, every module added during development, and the completed course. “Lifetime” means the life of the product, service or company.

Why do founding students receive 50% off?
The first 50 founding students help fund development and lesson production through their early enrollment. In exchange, they receive 50% off and lifetime access to the entire course, including all modules as they are released and the completed course.
This is early enrollment in a developing course, not a flash sale on a finished lesson library.
Is the complete course available immediately?
Not all lessons are available immediately, but your enrollment covers the entire course, not just the lessons available today. You receive lifetime access to released lessons, every module as it is added, and the completed course. You can begin studying as soon as lessons are released.
Ask about the current rollout before purchasing if lesson availability affects your decision.
When will every lesson be available?
Our expected release pace is one module every 5–10 business days. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed schedule or an overall completion date. Your lifetime access includes the entire completed course. If you have a specific deadline, check with CCO before enrolling rather than assuming the course will be complete in time.
What are the price and access terms?
Founding tuition is $723.50 instead of $1,447 with code FC5050, for the first 50 founding-student enrollments. It is a one-time payment, not a recurring subscription.
The offer includes lifetime access to the entire course, including all lessons released during development and the completed course. “Lifetime” means the life of the product, service or company.
Do I need a credential or auditing experience first?
Medical auditing, compliance or equivalent experience is recommended, not required. A solid foundation in medical terminology, anatomy, pathophysiology and ICD-10-CM will help you follow the material.
If you are new to coding or unsure about readiness, ask CCO about your starting point. The course does not guarantee employment or professional certification.
What materials should I plan for?
Plan for a current ICD-10-CM manual and any additional required texts identified in the course guidance. Those materials are purchased separately.
The enrollment includes BHAT™ Cave resources and group support. Check any material or access questions with CCO before buying.
Does completing this course award a professional credential?
A course-completion certificate is part of the planned course experience. It is not professional licensure or an automatic third-party certification.
Professional credential eligibility, registration and exam fees are separate. No future credential launch or exam inclusion is promised by this page.
Are CEUs included, and can I watch offline?
No CEUs are included in this course offer. Released video lessons require an internet connection and are not offered as offline downloads.
For continuing education options, explore CCO Club separately.
What should I check before paying?
CCO’s published online-training policy is nonrefundable. Review the current checkout terms and understand that this is a course under development, with lessons released progressively.
Ask CCO any availability or policy questions before purchasing. Your enrollment covers lifetime access to the entire course, with lessons released progressively. We expect one module every 5–10 business days and are not committing to an overall completion date.
