Career Training Objective

The Medical Billing program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work successfully as an entry level medical biller in a medical office, clinic, health maintenance organization (HMO), other health care setting, insurance company, or independent billing company.

In this program, students will develop their knowledge and skills within a fully online model of education. Preparing students for the real-life experience of health care data delivery systems, students will engage in on-line learning, as well as lab and computer software applications. Students will become familiar with, and able to use industry related reference materials such as the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), International Classification of Diseases (ICD-CM), Procedural Coding System (PCS), and Health Care Procedures Coding Systems (HCPCS). 

The Medical Billing program is divided into six, 80-hour modules. The six modules satisfy both industry-related prerequisites and execution of billing applications. The Medical Billing externship provides a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience in the field and alongside working professionals. This experience is designed to help students prepare for a successful transition into their career as a medical biller.

Completion of the program is acknowledged by the awarding of a diploma.
