Medical Coding

A thorough online Medical Coding program

Our online Medical Coding program prepares you for a career in the growing, in-demand profession as a medical biller and coder. Medical coders read and review medical documentation provided by healthcare providers in order to obtain detailed information regarding diseases, injuries, surgical operations and other medical procedures. This detailed information must then be translated into numeric codes for reporting purposes. Earning your medical assistant degree online will help you gain in-depth knowledge of medical coding through intense, real-world courses. You will learn how to assign and sequence diagnostic and procedural codes using a universally recognized coding system.

Well-trained medical coders and those with an online medical assistant certificate face an excellent future thanks to the increased scrutiny over medical records by insurance companies and government agencies. Graduates will be prepared for employment as professional coders in hospitals, medical clinics, physicians’ offices, dental offices, outpatient care centers, long-term care facilities, insurance firms and public health departments.

Note: Upon completion of the program, you will be prepared to sit for the Certified Professional Coders exam (CPC).
