Virtual Medical Academy

Overview

On 31 December 2026, every CHI-regulated private healthcare provider in the Kingdom must complete an initial internal clinical coding audit. Four internal audits a year follow, one per quarter, submitted through the CHI Coding Audit Portal. From Q1 2027, annual external audits begin through CHI-approved vendors. From 1 January 2028, DRG-based reimbursement becomes mandatory for all admitted care — and from that point the clinical record drives the code, the code drives the DRG, and the DRG determines what the provider is paid. There is a growing need for healthcare professionals with practical clinical coding audit skills in the Kingdom to meet regulatory and quality requirements.

This free one-hour webinar introduces the CHI Clinical Coding Audit Methodology V2.0 and the C-CAP Level 1 and Level 2 professional development pathway, designed to prepare professionals to conduct clinical coding audits. The webinar addresses key questions: What does a clinical coding auditor do, what skills does the training develop, and how can a clinical coder or HIM professional begin this professional development journey?

The session is deliberately practical rather than promotional. Participants will explore the methodology’s key requirements, including the eighteen published error codes, the accuracy and completeness scoring model, and the 80% threshold. They will also learn about the outcomes of the first cohort and gain a clear understanding of the pathway from clinical coding to clinical coding auditing.

What I will learn?

1. State what the CHI Clinical Coding Audit Methodology V2.0 requires of a provider, by naming the three scoring domains, the 80% certification threshold and the 90-day re-audit rule, so that participants can test their facility's current position against the published standard.

2. Distinguish V2.0 from the superseded V1 framework, by identifying the change in error codes, the change in the pass threshold and the introduction of the mandatory four-part Standard Audit Template, so that participants stop applying retired rules in their day-to-day coding and review work.

3. Describe what a clinical coding auditor does within a working week, by following the audit from independent re-coding through to the corrective action plan and the submission to CHI, so that participants can assess whether the role fits their own career direction.

4. Compare the three C-CAP levels by what each qualifies a holder to do, by identifying which level authorizes leading a facility internal audit and which authorizes external vendor work, so that participants can select the correct entry point for their experience.

5. Identify the next step to enrolment, by locating the registration route and the cohort dates for the next intake, so that participants can act on the webinar within the week it is delivered.
