Medical Reimbusement Specialist
The Medical Reimbursement Specialist program may be completed in two semesters.
This course is patterned on requirements of the American Academy of Professional Coders (www.aapc.com), enabling participants to sit for certifying examinations. This program is recognized by local employers.
Program Information:
The Medical Reimbursement Specialist program prepares individuals, through classroom instruction, to obtain employment in facilities providing outpatient services. Students will be instructed in basic outpatient coding, Medicare, Medicaid, insurance terminology, and billing and reimbursement skills. Students will receive a certificate of completion upon satisfactorily completing all program requirements. These students will be eligible to sit for the CPC exam.
