Medical coding and billing certificate program starts in January

Coffeyville Community College (CCC) will offer the Medical Coding and Billing Certificate Program starting in January 2010. The class is offered all online. Medical coders provide an essential part of managing information that permits hospitals and doctors’ offices to receive payment for services. Each diagnosis or treatment is assigned a code for reimbursement purposes. As our population ages, and more medical treatment is performed, there is more information to be processed than ever before. To meet the demand of this information explosion, adequately trained personnel are essential for proper reporting of information to ensure correct reimbursement. Area medical facilities currently seek trained staff with the coding skills necessary to effectively meet the financial needs of these institutions. Coding theory and computer skills will provide the learner with job-readiness skills. This program does qualify for the WIA program from Kansas Works if the student is qualified.
