Make AI your ‘HIM Knowledge Partner’ with Auditing AI-Generated CPT Coding:
Real-World Auditing with AI: Apply AI tools in authentic CPT coding and auditing scenarios through hands-on exercises and case studies that demonstrate how artificial intelligence can support the medical coding role for decision-making.
Interactive AI Prompting Throughout the Course: Learn practical prompting techniques while working directly with leading generalized AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Perplexity. Discover how effective questioning improves coding analysis, auditing accuracy and workflow efficiency.
New! “Coding Insights” Learning Series: Explore advanced topics that challenge today’s medical coding and auditing professionals including:
- Discover how coding algorithms work
- Communicating coding concerns and audit findings to stakeholders
- Evaluating documentation from real-world operative reports
- Identifying areas where AI recommendations require human oversight
Evaluate and Monitor Autonomous Coding Systems: New case study-based lessons demonstrate how to:
- Benchmark AI coding performance
- Access coding accuracy and reliability
- Develop monitoring strategies for autonomous coding software systems
- Investigate coding decision pathways and risk points requiring auditor intervention
Apply what you learn with Hands-on Practice
Answering the question: “How do I do that?” this interactive course allows coding professionals to practice their skills and expand their knowledge as they audit AI-generated medical coding. Using real-world outpatient case studies, the learner validates AI-generated codes against documentation, gaining hands-on experience to enhance their auditing expertise.
Bonus! Insights from Industry Experts
Benefit from lessons learned through extensive interviews with leaders and professionals who are actively involved in transitioning to AI for medical coding. Understand AI’s strengths—and its limitations as you gain a balanced perspective on where AI excels, where it struggles and why human expertise remains essential. The course concludes with a forward-looking exploration of evolving roles and in-demand skills, helping learners position themselves for new opportunities in AI-assisted coding, auditing and compliance.

Gail I. Smith, MA, RHIA, CCS-P
Gail Smith is a nationally recognized educator, thought leader in use of Artificial Intelligence in workforce training, and advocate for the advancement of health information management (HIM) professionals.
A strong believer that ‘coders learn by coding,’ Gail has worked with Libman Education as a course author since 2013 and has written both instructional materials organized by body system (breast, spinal fusion, and others) and hands-on Practical Coding Experiences designed to increase both quality of coding and productivity.
Gail was an associate professor and director of the HIM program at the University of Cincinnati and HIM program director at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. Gail was author of several textbooks, including Basic Procedural Terminology and HCPCS Coding published by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA). Gail currently consults with an international software company specializing in medical terminologies. Gail is President of Gail I. Smith Consulting.
Gail’s unique approach to professional development of coders is integral to her work with Libman Education. According to Gail:
“One cannot possibly teach every coding scenario a coder will experience in their career. Coding education must focus instead on how to arrive at an accurate and defensible code assignment. It is the difference between learning to fish and being given a fish. If you learn to code instead of being given answers to memorize, you will be able to arrive at the complete codes more quickly and with greater confidence.”
“So glad to hear that Gail will be leading this course. She is an exceptional educator.” — HIM Practitioner, on Gail’s course CPT: Introduction to Procedural Coding
“I have completed the CPT update course and loved it. Pairing the audio with the visual works well for my learning style. It was well worth the money for me to spend. Much better than the quickie, run-through-everything-in-an-hour CEU offerings work allows us.” — Karin A., MPS, RHIT, CPC-I, CPC, CMA, PBT, Professional Coding Quality Specialist, on Gail’s course CPT® Code Updates
“by the way, Gail’s course is great, I am enjoying!” — HIM Director on Gail’s course ICD-10-CM for Coding Professionals
“I recently completed the CPT Update I thought it was a wonderful course. It is so important as a coder that I know and understand the changes each year. This course was very helpful to me.” — Marcelette on Gail’s course CPT® Code Updates
“Gail Smith is one of my favorite resources, the work that your team is doing is outstanding and professional, Thanks again, for your help” — HIM Coder
“I’m pleasantly surprised at your response … really didn’t think I would receive anything at all, so, thank you! I believe that alone says a lot for Libman Education. I would recommend you to other coding professionals.” — Jennifer Jones, CPC
“LOVEEE Libman! Very happy with the classes I’ve taken.” — Linda C.
“Any of Libman Education’s courses are worth time and cost. Always walk away with a useable, clarity or reinforcement of subject matter.”
“I greatly appreciate this support and outstanding customer service!” — former student
