Medical Billing and Coding Program
Our Medical Billing and Coding training program prepares our graduates to:
- assemble patients' health information (including medical history, symptoms, exam results, diagnostic tests, and treatment methods)
- organize and manage health information data by ensuring its quality, accuracy, accessibility, and security
- regularly communicate with physicians and other healthcare professionals to clarify diagnoses or to obtain additional information for billing purposes
- work in pleasant and comfortable office settings.
Medical Billers & Coders assign a code to each diagnosis and procedure by using classification systems software. The classification system determines the amount for which healthcare providers will be reimbursed if the patient is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or other insurance programs using the system.
This is one of the few health-related occupations in which there is no direct hands-on patient care.
