Medical Billing & Coding

The billing and record-keeping office is the engine of any healthcare practice. Medical billing and coding specialists ensure that medical procedures are accurately accounted for and billed appropriately. These detail-oriented positions in hospitals, physicians' offices, and healthcare clinics help protect patients from being overcharged and practices from being underpaid. 
 
This program will prepare you to take a national exam to become a certified coding associate, which qualifies you for entry-level employment in different types of medical billing and coding positions. You might choose a position that allows you to work exclusively on a computer — even remotely from home — or you might prefer one that’s more people-facing, like a medical secretary or office administrator. If you wish to advance even further in this field, you could pursue an associate or bachelor’s degree in healthcare information management (HIM). 
 
If you’re interested in training for a new career in healthcare that’s in high demand that will put you in the workforce fast, SCC’s Medical Billing & Coding program may be right for you.
