Medical Billing and Coding Program

Medical coders may read a patient’s medical chart look-ing at the patient's diagnoses and any procedures performed and then categorize those diagnoses and procedures according to a national classification sys-tem, assigning a specific numeric or alphanumeric code to each diagnosis or procedure. A medical coder trans-lates the documents in a patient's chart into codes. Most coders will spend a majority of their time using their computer to enter data into a billing systems or looking for information to clarify notes in the patient’s chart. This year long non-credit training program will prepare students to sit for the national certification, CPC-A (Certified Professional Coder Apprentice), by the Ameri-can Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). Students can earn this credential (CPC-A) after successfully passing the national certification examination. This certi-fication is sponsored by the AAPC, a nationally recog-nized organization offering professional accreditation, education, recognition, and networking opportunities to medical coders. The exam fee is not included. Visit them at www.aapc.com or call 800-626-2633 to obtain an application packet or information. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs for medical records and health information technicians will increase 22% through the year 2020.
