    Do you aspire to be an integral part of the healthcare field? With the increase in the nation’s aging population, along with the implementation of ICD-10, there is an added demand for medical billing and coding professionals. Through their work creating detailed billing records and efficiently coded invoices, these specialists ensure the business side of health care does not obstruct the vital medical care that patients need. Without the contributions of the billing and coding specialists, neither doctors nor insurance companies could properly provide their services to patients.

    AAPC Partnered Program

    Our program is partnered with the American Academy of Professional Coders™ (AAPC) – a gold standard organization – which will benefit individuals looking to enter this rapidly growing field.

    FAQs

    See Medical Coding Specialist Certificate FAQ Page for details.

    Prerequisites

    The Medical Coding Specialist program is a very intensive, fast-paced course. Students wishing to take Medical Coding Specialist should already be well-versed in anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology. For students who do NOT have 2+ years of experience in a medical setting, you are strongly encouraged to take:

    • The Medical Office Assistant course before taking the Medical Coding Specialist course

    OR

    • Human Anatomy and Physiology (Online), Human Anatomy and Physiology II (Online), Medical Terminology, and Medical Terminology II before taking the Medical Coding Specialist course.

    Student success is our priority. For this reason, we highly encourage students who do not have experience in a medical setting to take one of the two prerequisite paths.
