As a Medical Coder and Biller, you’ll be a significant contributor to the healthcare field. Without your attention to detail, the healthcare industry would be unable to transmit critical data that allows medical professionals to get paid for their services.

It will be your job to translate the medical provider’s notes from a patient visit into alphanumeric code, which is then used to produce a claim for the insurance company and a bill for the patient.

We start your training with our College and Career Readiness course, followed by Human Anatomy and Physiology with Medical Terminology. Our courses also will familiarize you with industry software and the importance of HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act) in our Microsoft and Medical Laws and Ethics courses.

Skills students learn in the classroom and laboratory include:

• Verify the accuracy of billing data and revise any errors.
• Prepare itemized statements, bills, or invoices and record amounts due for items purchased or services rendered.
• Perform bookkeeping work, including posting data or keeping other records concerning costs of goods or services or the shipment of goods.
• Operate typing, adding, calculating, or billing machines.

Medical Billing & Coding Specialists are essential members of the healthcare team, responsible for organizing and managing health information data. They translate medical procedures, diagnoses, and services into standardized codes used for billing and insurance purposes. Their work ensures that patients are billed accurately and that healthcare providers receive appropriate reimbursement. Specialists regularly work with electronic health records (EHRs), review patient files for accuracy, assign correct codes, and prepare insurance claims.

They may also interact with physicians and insurance companies to clarify details or resolve billing issues.

Most Medical Billing & Coding Specialists work standard business hours in environments such as hospitals, clinics, physician offices, or from home in remote positions. Depending on the employer, flexible or part‑time schedules may be available. As a primarily computer‑based profession, it suits those who prefer a structured, desk‑based role over physically demanding or patient‑facing work.
