The Medical Coding certificate prepares students to perform medical diagnosis and procedural coding in an outpatient or ambulatory health care setting. The courses taken to meet requirements for the Medical Coding certificate also prepare a student to continue into the Health Information Management degree program in an 1 + 1 option.
Medical coders work primarily in an office setting. However, coding may be performed at home through use of a secure Internet connection. Working from one’s home is however usually reserved for employees who have gained experience by working in the office for a period of time
Upon successful completion of the Medical Coding Certificiate Program, the DPC graduate may apply to take the Certified Coding Associate (CCA) exam. Successful completion of the exam allows the certificate graduate to use the CCA credential. For more details on the CCA exam process, please see the AHIMA website.
Starting Fall 2019, the Medical Coding Certificate will be offered via distance education utilizing the internet and computer technology. Zoom technology will be used in the Coding Classes to enhance student learning. Medical Terminology may be be offered on campus in addition to the distance education offering.
