Building Healthcare Careers
One Coder at a Time

Codeshift Healthcare Solutions is a Chennai-based medical coding training and placement-support institute. We take life-science, paramedical and allied-health graduates to their first coding role, and working coders to the certification or specialty that moves them up — CPC, CCS, surgery, E/M, IP-DRG and CDIP.

Employers no longer hire untrained graduates in volume. They hire coders who can read a chart, find the right code, and defend the choice from the guidelines. So that is how we teach: in the code books, on real charts, with honest advice about which course you actually need — even when that is a different one from the course you asked about.

Ten programs, each with its own page covering what you will learn, who it is for, the exam it leads to and the honest answers to the questions people ask before they enrol.

Start Here

BMCT — Basic Medical Coding Training

Leads to: Coding foundation

The foundation every certification sits on: anatomy you actually understand, terminology you do not have to guess at, and enough ICD-10-CM, CPT and HCPCS to code a straightforward chart end to end.

  • 30 Days suggested
  • Online & Classroom
  • None — open to graduates
Next Step

AMCT — Advanced Medical Coding Training

Leads to: Advanced coding competency

The step between knowing the rules and applying them when the documentation fights back — complex multi-system charts, multi-specialty exposure and ICD-10-PCS.

  • 45 Days
  • Online & Classroom
  • BMCT or equivalent foundation
New

CPC Certification Training

Leads to: AAPC CPC

AAPC's Certified Professional Coder — the certification that gets a fresher's CV read. We build the coding knowledge and the code-book speed in parallel.

  • Online & Classroom
  • Open to freshers; graduate degree preferred
Most Popular

CCS Certification Program

Leads to: AHIMA CCS

A twenty-day intensive for working coders, spent on the two things that decide a CCS result: guideline precision, and performing under a four-hour clock.

  • 20 Days (Intensive)
  • Online & Classroom
  • Prior coding knowledge or experience
High Demand

Surgery Coding

Leads to: Multi-specialty surgical coding competency

Specialty by specialty, from real operative reports — the skill coding managers say they cannot hire enough of, and the fastest route off a general coding queue.

  • 45 Days
  • Online & Classroom
  • Working ICD-10-CM and CPT knowledge
Best Value

Surgery Coding + CPC

Leads to: AAPC CPC + surgical coding competency

Surgical coding first, at full depth, then CPC exam preparation — so you finish with a certification and a demonstrable specialty, in the order that makes both work.

  • 60 Days suggested
  • Online & Classroom
  • None formally; BMCT or equivalent recommended
Specialty

E/M Specialty Training

Leads to: Specialty competency

The medical decision making and time framework taught properly, then applied to real notes until your levelling is consistent — and defensible to an auditor.

  • 30 Days
  • Online & Classroom
  • Working ICD-10-CM and CPT knowledge
Elite Combo

IP-DRG + CCS Certification (Elite Combo)

Leads to: AHIMA CCS + inpatient DRG competency

Forty days building genuine inpatient DRG capability, then twenty converting it into a pass on AHIMA's Certified Coding Specialist examination.

  • 60 Days (40 IP-DRG + 20 CCS)
  • Online & Classroom
  • Working ICD-10-CM knowledge and record-reading experience
Career Move

CDIP Certification Training

What Makes Us Different

Small batches

Your doubt gets answered the day you have it.

Real charts

Records that matches the US healthcare workflows. Textbook cases teach the rule; real charts teach you what to do when the documentation ignores it.

Books from day one

You learn in current-year ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS and CPT from week one — each course page lists exactly which books are in the kit. Coding is an open-book profession, so that is how you should learn it.

Faculty who still code

Active certifications, current CEU compliance.

Exams that mirror the real thing

Full-length mocks under real timing, with individual review of every wrong answer.

A ladder, not a dead end

Every course has a defined next step.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most. Every course page also has its own detailed FAQ.

Yes, especially for life-science, paramedical and allied-health graduates. BMCT is the course designed to assume nothing — it builds the anatomy, terminology and code-book fluency every certification sits on.

New to coding: BMCT. Coding already and need a certification: CPC for outpatient and physician-side work, CCS for hospital work. Moving into inpatient: IP-DRG or the IP-DRG + CCS Elite Combo. Ready to move off production coding: CDIP. Talk to us and we will give you a straight assessment of which route fits.

Neither is better — they are aimed at different work. CPC (AAPC) is physician-side and outpatient, and appears most often in entry-level Indian job postings. CCS (AHIMA) is hospital-oriented, covers inpatient and outpatient, and appears most often in inpatient, DRG, QA and audit postings. Tell us where you want to work and we will tell you which to take.

We provide placement assistance based on performance and eligibility — resume building, mock interviews and hiring-partner referrals.

With proper training and practice, IP-DRG coding is highly achievable and rewarding. Our IP-DRG Upskilling Program ends with ten days of nothing but chart practice, because that is where inpatient coding is actually learned.

No. AAPC and AHIMA fees are paid directly to those organisations.

Same syllabus, same assessments. Classroom in Chennai; online live, not pre-recorded.
