Realistic coding practice enables your students to hit the ground running in their first jobs! Developed by Elsevier, Buck’s Simulated Medical Coding Internship, 2025/2026 Edition prepares students to code accurately and efficiently in a professional setting. More than 600 cases in 18 medical specialties offer a realistic simulation of the workload in a multi-specialty medical clinic. This simulated coding internship complements and provides application for the concepts learned in Buck’sStep-by-Step Medical Coding and Buck’s The Next Step: Advanced Medical Coding and Auditing. Best of all, students can SAVE a portfolio of the coding cases they’ve completed to prove proficiency to potential employers!
Updated content includes the latest coding information available, including 2026 code updates when released.
Learners can SAVE reports to help compile a custom portfolioof results to demonstrate proficiency to prospective employers.
Approximately 34 reports in each of 18 modules — for a total of 615 reports — cover the types of coding seen in a multi-specialty medical practice.
Trial and practice exams in each module help in tracking comprehension and progress.
Answers and rationales help students understand the reasoning behind the proper coding sequence.
Course flexibility allows students to complete modules and reports in any order, though moving through the modules in order is recommended.
Online format lets students view reports, make highlights, and submit all codes electronically; this internship course is available through Evolve or downloadable on other learning management systems.
Lock Computer feature enables students to keep patient information private while away from their desk.
A graded final exam is available on the Evolve companion website for instructor-led courses.
E/M Lecture Hall on Evolve provides additional learning and practice with Evaluation and Management coding.
