Medical Billing and Coding distance education program
The Medical Billing and Coding program is now offered 100% online. As a medical biller and coder, you can assign the proper processes and codes to patient diagnoses, handle insurance forms and coding, complete end-of-month operations in a medical office, accurately code procedures and diagnoses, and compose legal collection letters as part of collection procedures and practices. Without this profession, healthcare providers would not receive proper payment for the treatment they provide.
This program will also provide you with developing communication skills necessary to effectively communicate with other health care team members, patients, and physicians. Demonstrate respect for the human dignity and the rights of all individuals with awareness of cultural differences. Utilize critical thinking and decision-making skills when providing clinical and administrative service in the healthcare settings.
