Abstract
The Medical Coding Career Studies Certificate program is designed to prepare students for employment as medical insurance specialists and/or medical coders in physicians’ offices, hospital billing offices, outpatient departments, and insurance companies. Depending on the health care setting where employed, the job duties could include both specializations of insurance billing and coding, or employees could specialize in either area. With a combination of both coding and insurance billing skills, graduates of this program can offer more flexibility to an employer in a medical setting. All course outlines for the program are included.
