Accessing the Server and other good stuff to know
Email Accounts
If you don’t have an email account, please go to either http://www.hotmail.com/ or www.yahoo.com/mail and get a free email account. If you need to communicate absences or anything else with the Program Coordinator and Insurance and Medical Terminology Instructor, contact Jennifer Evans at jevans@sccd.ctc.edu , Jessie McDonald, Administrative and Document Processing Instructor, jmcdonal@sccd.ctc.edu or Erik Gimnesss, Medical Communications Instructor, egimness@sccd.ctc.edu. Having and using an email account will be invaluable.
Websters.com
If you don’t have a paper dictionary, you can go online to http://www.websters.com/ and look up words using their on-line dictionary. There is also a link to a Medical dictionary from there.
Coursedata Server
I generally put all of the PowerPoint presentations from AHE 105 on the Coursedata server (I: ), as I cover them. To access this server:
Double click on “My computer” ; double click on the I: drive; double click on the folder labeled “coursedata”; double click on the folder labeled “jevans”; double click on the folder labeled either Insurance or Medical Terminology for PowerPoints and other useful documents.
The blog
The blog contains the syllabi, attendance policy and assignments. You can also email me from the blog, if you have a blog account. Blog accounts are free, so feel free to set one up by following the directions on the homepage. To access the blog, type in http://www.medoffice.blogspot.com/ from Internet Explorer.
Cell Phones
Cell phones have become commonplace and while we all realize that it’s important for you to be accessible. During class time, it is the campus’ policy that cell phones be placed on silent, or vibrate, as to not detract from the learning process. It is vital that you do NOT take calls during class time. Please return calls only at break time.
MediSoft
There are two versions of MediSoft being used on campus. In the 133A classroom, to access the proper version of MediSoft, you must double click on either the MAPI icon, if it is on your desktop, or NDC Medidata. If it is not on your active toolbar, double click on the folder icon, and then double click on the MAPI icon. The book will indicate that you should press your F7 key while double clicking on the MediSoft icon. DO NOT DO THIS or the data will revert to the wrong MediSoft data. We will also cover this together.
MediCare/Medicaid
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/ - To access Medicare/Medicaid information, POS and TOS codes
Flashcode
http://www.flashcode.com/ - You must have an email address in order to access the web based flash code. We will do this together. Please do not access this until after we have covered ICD and CPT coding.
CMS Forms – On the “coursedata” server, there is a copy of on-line CMS forms that you will use for insurance processing. Paper copies can be printed from here, but for homework, all CMS forms must be filled out using this on-line form. If you have not saved a copy of this form to your USB, you may also go on-line for copies at
http://www.cigna.com/, click on the link for Important Forms, then click on the link for Medical Reimbursement forms After you access this file, you can save a copy of it to your USB and then use it when needed. This form does not allow for saving to assist with fraud prevention, but you can fill out and print.
