Medical Billing and Coding

Accurate processing of health insurance claims has become more challenging and demanding as health insurance plan selections have rapidly expanded. These variations, combined with adjustments in state and federal regulations affecting the health insurance industry, are a perpetual task to health care personnel. Those responsible for processing health insurance claims require methodical instruction in all dimensions: abstracting of source documents, accurate completion of claims, and coding of diagnoses and procedures/services. Our Medical Billing and Coding course provides students with the required information in a clear and comprehensive manner. In addition, students will be introduced to the latest code sets and guidelines and important topics such as managed care, legal and regulatory issues, coding systems, reimbursement methods, medical necessity, and common health insurance plans
