Schools for Billing & Coding

Medical coding involves reviewing a patient's medical record and assigning corresponding numeric and alphanumeric codes to diagnoses and procedures. The information is provided to the medical billing department, who submits the codes to insurance payers on special claim forms. Medical coders and billers are specially trained health care professionals. There are many schools offering education in the field of medical coding and insurance billing. Some coding and billing programs are offered separately, and some are offered together as combination programs.
  1. Medical Coding Schools

    • Medical coding programs are generally diploma or certificate programs. These programs cover inpatient ICD-9-CM coding, outpatient CPT coding and reimbursement. Completion of certificate or degree coding programs prepares a medical coder to work in a variety of settings including hospitals, physician offices and outpatient centers.
