The Medical Billing and Coding Specialist Program is designed to provide students with the basic knowledge and skills necessary to work successfully in an entry-level position in a medical office, clinic, insurance company hospital, or other healthcare settings as a medical biller or customer service representative. The medical biller becomes familiar with medical terminology as tools to assist them in the billing process; they learn the correct utilization of the reference materials used by the medical biller (CPT, ICD-10, HCPCS, CMA-1500, PDR, and medical dictionary). Students develop knowledge and skills in the functions of a medical office; they learn how to set up a patient’s chart, proper collection procedures, and insurance verification. Students are also introduced to computer software that allows them to perform a variety of billing operations.
