Health Professions

The Medical Coding and Billing program provides students with the technical skills and knowledge for an entry-level position in a health care setting through competency-based education. Students will study medical terminology, anatomy, laws and ethics, standard medical coding and billing methods, and medical coding software. Students will develop administrative office skills and receive hand-on experience using a Medical EHR system to schedule, manage patient accounts, and enter patient documentation. The program prepares students as an entry-level Medical Coder and/or Biller. In addition, medical coding and billing specialists will examine how to code diagnoses and procedures performed or identified by a physician. Students will also explore how to process health insurance claims, examine coverage issues, and administer processes for billing and collections. Medical coding and billing specialists will prepare to take the AAPC Certified Professional Coders Exam (CPC Exam) to become certified as a coder.
