Antioch, California Medical Billing and Coding Degree Program
Our Antioch Medical Billing & Coding program requires precision
Medical Billing & Coding professionals use their specialist skills to update and manage important patient records and financial data; that's why students on our Antioch Medical Billing & Coding (MBC) program need to be well-organized, accurate, and have an eye for detail. If you have those attributes and would like a career in healthcare, but don't want to work directly with patient care, this may be the career for you.
Medical Billing & Coding specialists are important healthcare professionals because they take responsibility for the records that track patient symptoms, medical histories, lab tests and more; they also input data that generates revenue and profit for their medical office or hospital. So if you are looking at Medical Billing & Coding schools in Antioch, you should seriously consider our Medical Billing & Coding program because:
- It culminates in a Certificate of Achievement or an Associate of Science degree in Medical Billing and Coding
- Our Antioch program combines theory and practice that prepares students for real-world positions
- An externship in a clinical environment in or around Antioch enables you to build your skills and confidence
Medical Billing & Coding - It all adds up in Antioch
Because healthcare is not always an exact science, codes were developed to identify and standardize the reasons why people seek medical care. Medical Billing & Coding are co-dependent disciplines; that's why we teach them together. A Medical Coding specialist ensures all proper codes are selected based on the medical services provided, before a Billing specialist uses those codes, processing them for payment with the correct billing amounts. In smaller offices one individual may perform both roles, but in larger organizations, they are often separate positions.
The knowledgeable Medical Billing and Coding (MBC) faculty at our Antioch campus teach their students how to interpret medical records accurately, and how to code the information for submission to insurance companies. Antioch students learn how to use software to prepare health insurance claims forms.
To enable the accurate interpretation of medical records, our students also learn about human anatomy, medical terminology, and the legal, ethical, and regulatory standards expected in medical records management. Antioch MBC graduates should have the skills and the confidence to:
- Perform medical coding and process medical insurance billing and claims
- Carry out office tasks
- Communicate professionally with colleagues, patients, and visitors
- Display their critical thinking and information management skills
