Medical Coding

A medical coding course trains students to translate healthcare diagnoses, procedures, and services into standardized alphanumeric codes, such as ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS. These codes are essential for billing, insurance claims, and maintaining accurate patient records.

The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical training, including hands-on coding exercises and real-world case studies. Students learn to use specialized software and electronic health records (EHR) systems for efficient coding and billing processes. Certification preparation, such as for the CPC (Certified Professional Coder) or CCS (Certified Coding Specialist), is often included.
