Description
The medical billing and coding field employs professionals who are responsible for the organization and accurate
maintenance of patient medical records. These files track data about patients’ symptoms, medical history, x-ray and
laboratory test results, diagnoses, and healthcare-related treatment. Medical billing and coding professionals ensure that
this information is entered into computerized medical record systems. Additionally, medical billing and coding professionals
must regularly communicate with physicians to ensure accuracy, clarify diagnoses, and obtain supplementary information
to update patients’ files. They are often also responsible for the timely and accurate submission of complex insurance
documents.
Carrington College’s Medical Billing and Coding certificate programs prepares students for entry-level employment in a
medical or dental office, clinic, or by independent billing companies. Instruction combines theory and practice to meet the
competencies needed to be a medical biller and coder. Students learn to prepare various health claim forms using medical
billing software. In doing so, they acquire a working knowledge of human anatomy and medical terminology, as well as
comprehension of the legal, ethical, and regulatory standards of medical records management. Students learn to
accurately interpret medical records, including diagnoses and procedures of healthcare providers, as well as to document
and code the information for submission to insurance companies. This program is offered online and culminates in a
Certificate of Achievement.
