This program is designed to provide necessary skills and knowledge to the student/participant for the preparation of program graduate to apply for entry-level Medical Coding jobs. Medical Coding is far more than assigning numbers to services and diagnosis. The Medical Coding curriculum has been tailored in such ways to allow the student to abstract information from patient's record, and combine it with their knowledge of reimbursement and coding guidelines to optimize physicians and hospital payments.
