About
The Medical Billing and Coding physician-based program will prepare you for this vital role as a medical biller and medical coder in a physician’s office, hospital, or medical treatment facility — such as a surgery center or outpatient clinic. As well as learning to bill and code accurately, you will become familiar with health information technology and compliance standards. You will also learn anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and medical terminology as they apply to medical billing and medical coding. After graduating from the program, you will be eligible to take a national certification exam for medical billing, medical coding, or both.
