Train for Competence!

Many people prefer to enroll in a medical coding training program that provides the flexibility to learn medical coding in the privacy of their own home, and on their own schedule, on a full or part time basis without having to quit their current job and give up their livelihood.

Look for a medical coding training program that offers a strong complement of foundation courses in addition to the standard courses on medical coding industry codes. Obviously, the medical coding industry codes will form the foundation of your training.

These codes include:
1. CPT
2. HCPCS
3. ICD-9 and soon ICD-10

However, you should also look for core medical coding training classes that ensure competence in areas such as:

* Medical terminology
* Anatomy, physiology, and disease processes
* Pharmacology
* Technology
* Healthcare regulations
* HIPAA compliance
* Insurance fraud and compliance

It can be a challenge to sift through the “diploma mills” to find a top medical coding training program. Finding a medical coding training program that offers a flexible home-based online coding training option as well as a solid medical coding curriculum that is practicum intensive can be difficult yet is possible.

Here I am suggesting a program that upon successful completion of the Administrative Medical Specialist with Medical Billing and Coding course, students will be prepared for an entry-level position doing medical billing or coding in a medical office setting and will be prepared to sit for the Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) exam. This online certificate program is offered in partnership with major colleges, universities, and other accredited education providers.
