The Medical Coding Certificate program provides students with the entry-level skills needed to code, classify, and index diagnoses and procedures for the purpose of reimbursement, standardization, retrieval and statistical analysis. Students learn fundamental concepts of medical coding (ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, and CPT-4) and medical reimbursement. Courses such as medical terminology, anatomy/physiology, ICD-10-CM/PCS coding, CPT-4 coding, intermediate coding, and medical reimbursement are studied. Progression through the curriculum includes lab assignments and professional practice activities that require students to apply foundational concepts in medical coding using critical thinking and problem solving skills. The HIMT program is primarily web-based; however, some courses are only offered on campus. Also, some of the online courses require students to come to campus for proctored tests and occasional class meetings. For more information, see cscc.edu/himtLong Description
