Medical billing and coding is one of the fastest-growing careers in the healthcare

industry today! The need for professionals who understand how to code healthcare services

and procedures for third-party insurance reimbursement is growing substantially. Physician

practices, hospitals, pharmacies, long-term care facilities, chiropractic practices,

physical therapy practices, and other healthcare providers all depend on medical billing

and coding for insurance carrier reimbursement.

insurance billing problems, how to manually file claims (using the CPT and ICD-10

manual), complete common insurance forms, trace delinquent claims, appeal denied claims

and use generic forms to streamline billing procedures. The course covers the following

areas: CPT (Introduction, Guidelines, Evaluation and Management), specialty fields

(such as surgery, radiology and laboratory), ICD-10 (Introduction and Guidelines)

and basic claims processes for medical insurance and third party reimbursements. Students
