Certificate in Medical Coding and Billing

Program Description:
The Certificate in Medical Coding and Billing is designed for students who wish to acquire a thorough understanding of human anatomy, the language used in the medical profession, regulations that govern the practice of medicine, and the knowledge of how to correctly code and bill for services provided. The need for medical records and health information technicians is growing in leaps and bounds, requiring trained professionals capable of correctly coding and documenting new and established procedures to pass potential audits by federal as well as private insurance payers. This program consists of 5 required courses which must be taken in the following order: Medical Terminology, ICD-10 Coding, CPT-4 Coding and Medical Billing Course with Practicum. ‘Regulations’ can be taken at any time. In addition to the classroom hours, our Medical Coding and Billing students will have access to an 80-hour online training available through the American Association of Professional Coders.
