Medical Coding can lead you to many great career opportunities! Being a Medical Coder will allow you to work behind the scenes in the healthcare industry, or even in a management role!

Medical coding professionals play a vital role across the healthcare industry!

Each time a patient receives treatment, a detailed record is maintained. Coders are then responsible for assigning a code(s) to each specific diagnosis or procedure and ensuring that the information is communicated clearly, accurately and efficiently between healthcare providers and insurance payers.

In the Online Medical Coding program-students will learn about the business side of healthcare, the human body and its diseases and cover ICD-10-CM coding, Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS), and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) coding.
