Wellness and Health Sciences - 21HN - Medical Billing Specialist

Medical billers play a critical role in the financial aspects of a physician’s practice. They report the patient’s diagnosis and the services rendered to that patient using special medical codes. These codes are included on the bills submitted to insurance companies, managed care plans, and Medicare. Medical billers need to have extensive knowledge of medical terminology, coding, and insurance procedures. Medical billers are employed by physicians’ offices, clinics, and billing services.

Medical billing is not a limited enrollment program. Day and evening classes are available.

All of the courses may be applied to the Health Information Technology associate degree program if the student desires to progress in the future to become a Registered Health Information Technician (RHIT).

A student must earn a grade of “C or better” in all HIT and BIO courses.
