The Medical Billing program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to work successfully as an entry level medical biller in a medical office, clinic, health maintenance organization (HMO), other health care setting, insurance company, or independent billing company.
In this program, students will develop their knowledge and skills within a fully online model of education. Preparing students for the real-life experience of health care data delivery systems, students will engage in on-line learning, as well as lab and computer software applications.
