Medical Billing and Coding

Coming Soon: New Certification Preparation Opportunities

The Center for Workforce Development’s Medical Billing and Coding program is developing new certification tracks for Fall 2024. The certification program will prepare students for three industry-recognized certifications and students will have the option to obtain one or all three credentials. Earning multiple credentials is an advantage to medical coders and billers which demonstrates their skills and is a pathway to provide opportunities for career advancement.

American Health Information Management Association( AHIMA) - the nation’s leading authority on health information.
Two certifications offered:
- Certified Coding Specialist (CCS)
- Certified Coding Specialist, Physician-based (CCS-P)

American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC) - the nation’s leading medical coding certification organization.
Certification offered:
- Certified Professional Coder (CPC)

The revised program will deliver excellence by providing students with more opportunities to succeed in this field by providing several engaging services to students. The program will include preparation for certifications, valuable insights from several industry experts, a hands-on coding simulation experience, interview and resume preparation, and direct internship connections.

Upon completion of this program students can apply for entry-level administrative coding and billing positions. Students will earn a CCM Certificate of Completion for any course or the entire program (once all courses are satisfactorily completed).
