Program of Study
The Medical Coding Certificate program prepares students with entry-level skills needed to code, classify, and index diagnoses and procedures for the purpose of reimbursement, standardization, retrieval, and statistical analysis. Principles in ICD-9-CM coding, CPT coding, and third-party reimbursement will be emphasized. Students must pass MED 2400, Medical Terminology, with a grade of “C” or better to become eligible for consideration for a seat in the program.
Certificate credits may also be applied to the HIT major leading to an associate degree.
