We know that healthcare is not an exact science, that's why medical codes were introduced to standardize diagnoses. At the Pomona campus, we also know that Medical Billing & Coding (MBC) are mutually supporting disciplines, which is why we have combined them into one Medical Billing & Coding program.

A Medical Coding specialist makes certain that the correct codes are used based on the diagnosis given and services provided. A Billing specialist then takes those codes and processes them for payment. In larger medical offices these will often be different roles, but in smaller offices one person may perform both functions.

If you are looking for a career in the medical field that doesn't involve patient care, you should consider our Pomona Medical Billing & Coding program because:

• It culminates in a Certificate of Achievement or an Associate of Science degree in Medical Billing and Coding
• It is a good blend of theory, practice and experience that prepares graduates for the real world
• MBC specialists are responsible for patient records that track symptoms, medical histories, lab tests & more
• They also input patient data that generates revenue and profit for their organization
• You can build your experience during an externship in a clinical environment in or around Pomona
