Medical billing degrees are often paired with other related areas. For example, associate degrees for medical administrative assistant cover billing functions as well as general office management. Combination medical billing and coding degrees cover the coding, assignment of codes to diagnoses and procedures, and the billing functions.
Many community colleges offer associate degrees in medical billing or combination degrees. They may also offer shorter certificate programs, where students receive a diploma at the completion of the program, instead of a degree.
Professional organizations, such as the American Medical Billing Association, provide a variety of information on medical billing. These organizations often offer recommended lists of schools.
Online educational companies like ELearners.com and GetDegrees.com compile information on different schools and degree offerings all on websites. A student can examine these listings and then request further information from the desired schools.
Social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook provide opportunities for professional exchanges of information. Joining these sites and searching for medical billing professionals will allow networking with current professionals for educational information.
