Medical Billing and Coding

Medical billing and coding professionals ensure that the healthcare industry has accurate and timely medical data.

Medical billers and coders translate a health provider’s descriptions of diseases, injuries, and procedures into numeric and alphanumeric codes. Medical codes are used for many reasons, such as mortality data, procedural data, and access to medical records by diagnoses and procedures in clinical care, research, and education. Medical coders have experienced a surge in career opportunities since the federal government’s mandate to electronically maintain all patient health records.

If you’re looking for a secure career in a fast-growing field, then Medical Billing and Coding could be your answer.
