The Medical Coding Professional program is designed to prepare the student for entry level employment as a medical office administrator. Medical coding is the first part of the insurance billing process and involves using classification systems to assign code numbers and letters to each symptom, diagnosis, disease, procedure, and operation that appears in the patient's medical records which are used for insurance reimbursement, research, health planning analysis and making clinical decisions. Students will gain an understanding of the importance of patient privacy and the security of electronic protected health information through HIPAA and health information management topics integrated throughout the program.
The Medical Coding Professional program will prepare candidates with the core knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for the American Association of Professional Coders (AAPC) certification exam Certified Professional Coder (CPC).
