The Medical Billing and Coding Certificate Program is designed for those who want to begin medical billing and coding careers or prepare for a nationally recognized certification exam. The training in this program provides the necessary skills required by employers seeking a medical biller or medical coder. Medical billers are responsible for submitting claims to insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, and in some instances, patients themselves on behalf of their employers or clients. Professional medical coders transform verbal descriptions of diseases, injuries, and procedures into numeric or alphanumeric codes. The coding of health-related data permits access to medical records by diagnoses and procedures for use in clinical care, research, and education. Students who successfully complete this program are prepared to sit for the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC)—Certified Professional Coder Exam (CPC) and/or the AAPC Certified Professional Biller (CPB) exam. The program includes courses such as Medical Office Electronic Health Records, Medical Terminology and Anatomy for Coders, Medical Insurance, Medical Coding I, and Medical Coding II. Students will learn to generate and manage billing claim forms, apply diagnosis and procedure codes, and understand healthcare regulations related to medical billing and debt collection. Graduates are prepared for immediate entry into the workforce and can pursue careers in various healthcare settings.
