Medical Coding and Reimbursement Specialist
The
Medical Coding and Reimbursement Specialist program is designed to
prepare the student to take an active role in the coding and
reimbursement process for services performed by the physician and
non-physician practitioners.
The graduate will be prepared to insure that medical services are
correctly identified and coded on claim forms.
These individuals will take an active roll in the coding and
reimbursement process by identifying diagnoses and procedures
performed, correctly assigning the appropriate diagnoses and
procedure codes, appropriately completing and submitting claim
forms, researching and correcting insurance claim rejections, and
posting insurance reimbursement.
Students are provided with an in-depth knowledge of medical
terminology, anatomy, and coding both diagnoses and procedures using
the ICD-9-CM, CPT, and HCPCS coding sets in addition to
reimbursement procedures.
The Medical Coding and Reimbursement Specialist will attain the
skills to interact with physicians, clinical staff, third-party
payers, and patients. Satisfactory completion of the course
qualifies the graduate to take the American Academy of Professional
Coders national certification exam to earn a CPC accreditation.
This is not a selective admissions certificate program.
