Professional Certificate in Medical Coding
The Professional Certificate in Medical Coding will prepare students for The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) certification exam to become a certified coder. Medical coders assign a code to each diagnosis and procedure by using classification systems. The classification system determines the amount for which health care providers will be reimbursed if the patient is covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or other insurance programs using the system.
