"I was nervous about switching from outpatient ED coding. The 3M live chart sessions were the deciding factor — I wasn't just learning, I was actually doing it. Placed within 3 weeks of completing the program."

About Vamforce
Built by coders,
for coders
Vamforce Healthcare Academy was founded in 2023 with a single focus: give experienced medical coders a credible, no-nonsense pathway into IPDRG inpatient coding.
Most training programs teach theory. We put you directly on 3M live chart data — Staline Charts, Allize Charts — from day one. By the time you graduate, you've already coded real inpatient charts, navigated the actual encoder, and worked through Coding Clinics updates that come up in interviews.
Our placement team maintains active relationships with hiring managers at leading healthcare companies in India, the US, and the UAE. We don't just prepare you — we introduce you.

Program Highlights
What makes Vamforce different
Six things most training programs don't offer — and we include all of them as standard.
01
Live 3M Chart Data
You code from real inpatient charts — Staline and Allize — not from hypothetical scenarios. This is the closest thing to your first day on the job.
02
Free Study Materials
ICD-10-CM & PCS reference books and Clinical Indicator documentation provided free. No hidden fees, no extra purchases.
03
Deep KT in PCS & ICD
Not a surface overview — a thorough knowledge transfer covering every root operation, body part, approach and device in PCS alongside full ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding.
04
US & UAE Markets
Dual-market curriculum. You graduate ready for US hospital inpatient roles and UAE inpatient coding standards — most programs cover only one.
05
Placement Assistance
Our placement team actively connects graduates with hiring partners. Resume review, mock tests, and direct introductions to coding firms actively recruiting.
06
Coding Clinics 2025 & 2026
The most commonly referenced resource in coding interviews. We cover the latest AHA Coding Clinics guidance thoroughly, including new and revised entries.

Student Reviews
What our graduates say
Hear from our graduates who have already made the switch to inpatient coding.
"The free study materials alone save you thousands. But the Coding Clinics coverage and the mock interview prep are what actually got me the job. The placement team knew exactly which companies were hiring."
"As a CPC with 5 years in radiology, I thought the switch would be hard. The PCS deep dive was tough but thorough — and practicing on real charts made all the difference. Would not have made the switch without Vamforce."
