PROGRAM OBJECTIVE

The Medical Insurance Billing & Coding program will provide the student with entry-level skills to perform processing, reporting, security, and management of health information within the healthcare setting.

Health information specialists and medical billers/coders are trained professional members of the business and operations staff of today’s healthcare industry. With today’s constantly changing insurance and administrative information requirements in the medical field, they are important to the smooth operation of any medical office.

Medical billers are an important part of the medical office by advocating between the patient and insurance companies, organizing information for medical statements, analyzing information for any errors, posting payments, and providing up-to-date reports to ensure the financial bottom line of the medical organization. Coders can help prevent legal difficulties and ensure that providers receive full reimbursement in a timely manner.
